My walls are all about 6.5 - 7 inches thick. Will this bar work?

The bar hangs off the molding around a door. As long as you have molding it should be fine. It does do some damage after extended use but i have heard if you place a towel or something under the point where it hits the molding it won't damage. Hope this helps.

Probably not, most 6 foot bars have around 47 inches of space, 5 feet olympic bars would likely be less than the required

Yes, you will have to screw the bases for the bar in. I had to buy a drill to do so.

My answer would be no. If the little rear hooks on each side were straight down, then I'd say yes. But since they curve upward, I think they would rub against your wall, depending on the space between the bar & the wall.

Yes u can use the 6foot bar... I highly recommend this product. I can send u pics of how I have my garage set up w the valor rack

dear karen, the rack measures 48" outside to outside.if your bar measures 48" between,it is going to be very close and i do not think that i would chance it,i myself went ahead and bought an Olympic ( 7'-0") bar.it works fineelana

I believe yes, mine is also 7x5 and it fit fine. I am pretty sure you don't mean 5 inches thick, as in it sticks out from the wall 5 inches, but if you do, then it won't fit.

I don't think it would fit. If it did, it would be a tight squeeze. I measured the between the bars and it's very close to 5" but not quite there.

I don't know for sure, have not measured but the walls are no more than 4 inchs. 78 inches will make it fine, 213 inches many be pushing it.

I have a five foot bar and it works fine. The inside collars sit on the support, so you have to ensure both sides are in and on when lifting. Allen

I have a 7ft. 2" olympic bar and it works great. I have 315 lbs. with it also.

Yes. Unless the bar is super short. It works fine with my 7' bar. The forks def hold 315-ish, but I'm not sure how strong they are above that, as the seem a bit wobbly.

I got a 7' bar and it fits very well. 6' should fit also but may be a bit tight.

6' will place you very close to the top. As for position holding straight out of the box, my answer would be no. The bar is not knurled, so unless you put in extra effort in either pinning or using Lok-tight, it will most likely slip. I went with taking mine off after the first use.

I wouldn't. It weighs a lot and it will be under a lot of stress. If I were you, I would mount a 4-2"x6"'s horizontally across your wall, attaching them to your studs, and then mount the pull-up bar through the studs on one side and into just the 2"x6"'s on the other side.

Yes, make sure the gauge of the bar is thick enough if not solid and properly secured.

I have not been able to use this bar, since it does not fit my doorways. An older home has thicker walls, wider door jams/trim.
