Tayaout Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I want to install a pull-up bar in a brick wall. I did use plastic anchor for smaller screw in the past. I'm not sure if they exist for the size I need, if there is some kind of silicone that can be used or if it can work by simply drilling the correct sized size hole.

bankruatsteve Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 The photo shows a bolt. Bolts go through something and fasten with a nut. Show a photo of the mounting attachment to your bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post johng Posted March 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2020 Well depending how much weight the pull up bar needs to support a few of these should work drill a nice tight fitting hole in the concrete ( don't go too deep) tap the bolts in with a hammer undo the nut and attach pull up bay then replace the nut and tighten with a spanner they expand in the hole and can make a very secure fitting. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bankruatsteve Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 OK. So you should have 8 wall anchors with screw. Follow the measurements and drill the 4 holes for each bracket using 10mm masonry drill. Insert the anchors and hopefully just needing a hammer tap to make flush to the wall. If too loose, they will just come out. Maybe just do one hole to start and make sure you got it right. OK? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncleP Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) You have 8 expanding wall bolts. Get the appropriate masonary drill bit and away you go. (I see you got the correct advice above as I was posting ) Edited March 23, 2020 by uncleP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vogie Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Personally I would use something like this, isn't that one to the right of the bolt on the 'assembly instructions'? Did you get any of these with your kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Ahh it looks like you already have the expanding bolts marked a B M10x80 8 PCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bankruatsteve Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Just to add... avoid placing the brackets on a lintel as you are likely to run into rebar and there's no way you will be drilling through that. You will probably need hammer action though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have 2 drills with the hammer action. Edited March 23, 2020 by Tayaout 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightSky Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Ensure a masonry drill bit is used otherwise you'll end up with bent drill bits and no hole.. Where did you buy the pull up bar, was it in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randell Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 It won't be a problem IF it is a brick wall, it could be a problem if it is a block wall. As the block it self has shallow depth of wall and a far larger cavity. Access you situation carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedsj Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I have the exact same product, but it doesn't stay fastened to my concrete wall very well at all. It's almost as if the concrete inside just crumbled away and the bloody thing gets looser and looser every time weight is applied. How did yours turn out?

onebir Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 The expanding doorway pullup bars work well if you have a fairly robust doorframe that matches the width of the one you get (eg 60-100, 80-130 or 100-150cm) and don't want to use a very wide grip. Mine came with two fittings like mini doorstops for screwing into the door frame. They're supposed to fit into little depressions in the pads at either end, but I tried it without them & it holds my weight (~72kg ?) fine. I imagine it may discolour/scuff the frame over time, but it'll be pretty high up, so not really noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
