This article is especially relevant for families with children living in the apartment.
With limited space, it is not always possible to install sports equipment in the apartment. To save space, many install a horizontal bar in the doorway. But this method of fastening has drawbacks: the horizontal bar is always fixed at the same height, you need to drill a hole to install the horizontal bar, you can only use it for one pull-up operation.
The solution that the master offers is to install the Swedish wall in the opening. But at this wall, the crossbars do not fasten tightly. Firstly, one or several crossbars can be installed, secondly they can be adjusted in height, thirdly, the crossbar can be used as a support for other sports equipment, fourthly, the crossbars are quickly mounted and quickly dismantled, and fifthly, such a wall can be exploited by children and adults of different ages and stature.
The disadvantages of such a sports apparatus are the fact that it narrows the doorway, but you can fix it (if possible) next to the opening, as the master did.
Tools and materials:
-Two boards;
-Wooden crossbars for racks;
-Fasteners;
- Plywood or thick cardboard for the template;
-Bar;
- Drill with Forstner drill;
-Circular or hand saw;
-Screwdriver;
-Sandpaper;
- Clamps;
- Band saw;
Milling cutter;
-Hammer;
Step One: Template
First you need to make a template. Start by drilling holes a little smaller in diameter than the crossbar. The master drilled three holes in the shape of the letter “L” and cut the rest of the tree with a band saw.
Step Two: Groove Cutting
Now, using the template, you need to cut out the grooves in the racks. The master marks and cuts out grooves along the entire length of the rack. The pitch between the grooves is 20 centimeters. It is important to insert grooves coaxially on both racks.
Step Three: Installation
Fastens racks with three screws each. When installing, it is also important to ensure that the grooves are at the same level.
Step Four: Crossbars
Cut the bars to length.The diameter of the groove is slightly smaller than the diameter of the crossbar. To install the crossbars, the master, at the ends, grinds them into an oval shape. This will prevent the crossbars from popping out of the grooves and scrolling.
An additional protection against jumping out is the installation of a wedge.
All is ready. As already mentioned, the sports equipment is multifunctional. It can be used both as a Swedish wall, and as a horizontal bar, as a support for a climber’s wall, you can hang a swing or jumpers for the smallest athletes.
