It so happened that the current generation of teens leads a sedentary lifestyle. And adults often sit in offices more than move. Tired after the work day, everyone comes home and again sit down to watch TV or play games on the computer. Therefore, the muscles do not develop and weaken, which is very bad for the well-being and the general condition of the body.
To avoid these all undesirable consequences, many young people try to somehow maintain their body in a form. Some find time to go to gyms or swimming pools. But not everyone has so much free time. Then the sports grounds come to the rescue, which are in some yards. A good solution is to install a home horizontal bar in the doorway.
If the area of the apartment allows, then you can equip even the whole sports corner . Well and if is not present, installation of a horizontal bar in a doorway - that is necessary for you. The tourniquet will help you keep track of your posture , which will spoil from the constant wrong sitting at the table, and you can practice at any time and in any weather.
It is important that the bar in the doorway that you set does not interfere with other residents and fits well into the interior of the room. For this, after installation, it can be painted in the color that prevails in the room.
If the horizontal bar strongly interferes with someone from the household, then discussing this situation in advance, you can avoid unnecessary quarrels. The solution, like all ingenious, is simple - a bar in the doorway is removable.
It will also be important to make a removable horizontal bar, if it is designed for children. It is logical that the children's horizontal bar in the doorway should be at such a level that the child reaches out to him. You can install on the opening such holders of the crossbar itself, which will have several grooves. Children grow fast, and thanks to such a holder, the bar can last for several years.
It is clear that the main part of the horizontal bar is the crossbar. It should be able to withstand the load, depending on the maximum estimated weight. The turnstile in the doorway must be very firmly secured, and not deformed when used. The crossbar is a solid or tubular bar. When constructing a tourniquet with your own hands, it is not necessary to spend a lot of money for the purchase of expensive materials. The crossbar can be made even from a steel water pipe. Of course, you need to remember that after installing it you must cover with the enamel of the desired color.
How to install a bar in the doorway?
Next, consider how to make a horizontal bar from an ordinary pipe.
And so, to make a horizontal bar in the doorway, you will need:
- pipe (pipe length = length of the doorway + 40 mm);
- drill (with a special drill for metal);
- Bulgarian;
- yew.
Be sure to observe all safety measures in the processes described below.
Stages of manufacturing a horizontal bar with your own hands:
- Determine the installation location. Such a place can be both a doorway, and the distance between the walls in the corridor. It is important that they are strong and do not crumble.
- Cut one end of the pipe. There should be four. The maximum depth of the cut must be 21-22 mm.
- From the received petals to choose two parallel and to cut off them.
- Drill holes in the remaining petals. The diameter should be approximately 4-4.5mm.
- Further, these petals should be bent backwards 90 degrees. Thus make future fasteners.
- The same thing needs to be done on the other side of the pipe.
- Peel the tunic to shine using a file.
- Secure the made horizontal bar in the doorway by screwing its petals with screws.
If you decide to just attach the pipe to the opening, then a good service will be a suspension from a chipboard or a base of steel corner products. Such fastening does not require welded joints. It represents an arc that is bent from a steel rod. At both ends of the arc, a thread is made, on which are screwed nuts, securely fixing the bar of the bar.
With a little effort, you can make a horizontal bar that will not be worse than the expensive counterparts sold in stores. And the realization that it is made by oneself, will only add pleasant sensations during training.
