Julio's (How to make a Barstarzz park:) • How to make a Barstarz...
And for laying turf:
• Artificial Turf Instal...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The project took me about a week from start to finish from digging the holes to laying the turf.
Here are some of the things you'll need:
Three, 4x4x10 ft Redwood post
One, 4x4x8 ft Redwood post
One 1in x 8 ft Galvanized Pipe
(For pull up bar and top human flag bar)
One 1in x 5 ft Galvanized Pipe
(For shorter pull up bar)
Three 1in x 2 ft Galvanized Pipe
(For human flag bars)
Two, 1 1/4 inch 10 ft Galvanized Pipe
( For dip bars, Home Depot will cut it upon request for free)
Two, 1 1/4 90 degree elbow joint
(for dip bars)
----
Two 1 1/4 flange
(Connects to the 4x4 by10
and into the dip bars)
Eight 3/8 16 x 6 Hex Bolts (dip bars)
Eight 3/8 16 x 1 1/2 Washer
Eight 3/8 Hex Nuts
Nine 3/8 16 x 4 To hold poles from possible movement (Optional)
Nine 3/8 16 x 1 1/2 Washer (Optional)
Nine 3/8 Hex Nuts (Optional)
(To drill through both wood and metal
you'll need a titanium nitrate drill bit)
10 bags of Concrete.
1 container of water resilient wood stain. (Optional)
----
First I connected the 8ft top bar into all three 4x4 by 10 wood posts. Then I drilled holes and connected the 3 human flag bars.
I dug Three 2ft holes for the posts and raised it up (I put rocks in the holes to hold the posts together) then poured about 1 1/2 bags into each hole.
Later that night I dug the two holes for the dip bars.
connected the threaded galvanized pipe into the elbows and connected the other threaded ends to the flanges on the 4x4 by 10 wood posts.
I put rocks to hold the dip bars in place and poured 1 1/2 bags of concrete in each hole on top of the rocks.
The same night I also made the 2 ft hole for the 4x4 by 8 ft post
about 5 ft away form the 4x4 by 10 ft post. I connected the flange then installed the last 5 ft smaller pull up bar and I was done for the day.
The next day I cleared the ground of any loose gravel and laid down some crushed gravel. I lightly watered it down and compressed the gravel with a roller. I covered the crushed/compressed gravel with weed barrier. I laid out my grass turf in the sun for a couple hours before pulling it over the area I wished to cover and began to cut the shape I wanted along the plastic grass liner. I nailed it down on some ares with 6 inch nails to help secure the turf. I put some sand into the fibers of the turf and brushed it through to help it stand up. Then I was done!
Any addition questions feel free to leave a comment below and
Thank you!

Great job, I just need a yard.
I'm looking into building one with my friend in the hills, we just want to make sure it wont get torn down lol
If you live in an apartment, build it in your parking spot
I can built it in my garden
Did you get a yard? 3 years later?
to prevent the blow out of holes, put another piece of wood behind the wood poles when drilling with the spade bit. It will reduce the chance of it happening. Nice build.
when the tip of the drill goes through the wood. turn it around and drill in the small new hole from the other side. then it works 100% of the time.
@@rene_bla_bla Agreed. This technique works perfectly. Once you see the tip of the drill coming through, stop. Flip the wood over, insert the tip of the bit into the tiny hole, and drill out the rest of the wood. Zero tear-out.
My first impression of you is like: "wow such a nice guy" so wholesome and nice. Keep it up.
I appreciate that! I think it's important to be genuine for sure
very warm and heartfelt towards the end there loved it
great video, love that you show so much love to the person who gave you inspiration for the build. Hope all is well!
Thanks for the video. I like that you showed a couple of mistakes you made to help other avoid the same.
Really thank you for the video, many details and easy(even for me ) to understand! Great work!
Great video. I loved it and I respected your openness about the dip bars. Still looks like a very decent set up. I hope you and your lovely family are enjoying it. best wishes
Hey, you're such a positive person with a great family! It was a pleasure to watch this video and the gym is terrific! ;)
fifinho98 thank you so much, i feel like being positive is one of the healthiest things you can do for yourself... mind body, and spirit
Great Job Man. Looks great!!
Thanks for sharing your build, giving credit to Julio, AND explaining things you would do differently.
Im just a traveler in this journey as well, sharing along the road makes everything better :)
Thanks for sharing, planning something like this on a smaller scale, very useful 👍
i love to see that you care for you and for your little girls...
Family first man!
This is awesome! Exactly what im gunna build! I shall learn from your mistakes. Love from the U.K!!
You motivated me to create my own dip bars ( I uploaded the video). Thank you and keep up the fantastic work!
This is great. I always think the Rouge monster strip would be cool on an outdoor setup. Used to mount dip bars on the wall instead of a rack. Have angled bars and height adjustable on a post and could bring inside when not in use if wanted to.
What a great job this is!
Great video,bro🤜🏻! If you don’t use gymnastic rings - I definitely recommend you to get them and use on your own bars👍👌
Great video, lots of information
This is exactly what I was looking for.
Great job! I need one for the family. 😄
Impressive build!
Good stuff man 👍. Thanks for the video. Its inspiring.
Thanks Mack
Hey thank you for posting your video. I’ll actually use some of your ideas for my back yard gym. Thank you so much.
Good luck York!
Dope back yard bro!!!!
Great job, sir.
Thanx! :)
Put metal caps on the top og your 4x4 so the rain dosent soak into the Wood from the top - I mad the exact same build a few years back in Denmark
Would you have a build drawing or measurements in cm's?
He is in cali though, so depending on where he lives, he might see like 10 inches of rain a year. Still a good idea for longterm use, but I have friends who have stuff outside that you'd never leave outside probably anywhere else.
Hey Lasse, hvor købte du delene til setupet her i Danmark, harald nyborg, hjem og fix eller hvor? :))
@@mariusandersen2952 jeg købte det primært i Jem&Fix, stålet købte jeg af en smed - Jeg har en tegning af mit setup jeg kan sende til dig, hvis du kan finde mig på Facebook
@@lasserasmussen5522 Okay fedt, jo tak det ville være en super hjælp :)) kan du smide et link til den, da der er ret mange med dit navn?
Great video and cute kids, love it.
Great project and amazing princesses 🙂
Awesome stuff. Be safe my dude!
Guerrilla Dil safety is a top priority my bro :)
Looks great.
Great video,thank you!
Love what you did with the sod/astroturf. I'm also trying to get some greenery into the back yard area for my two girls. Just pushed you past 130 Subs.
Mah man! Thanks for Subscribing! It's all about the kiddos my friend, Good luck!
You should install a tall Vertical bar, Great Job!
Awesome T. Brings me back.
"Brings me back" ... so you've stoped!?
@@Bay_Area_Calisthenics_Kid lol. I had kids. Nuff said.
Great Job! 👌
Bru you just motivated me to build my own✊💯💪
you can do it!
awesome video.
I wanted to mention the holes you drilled which you said weren't as clean because pieces would break off as you drilled. That's called tear out, and if you drill in the future you can clamp a scrap piece of wood onto the back what your drilling. Hope this means something.
That's good advice for a cleaner look, thanks!
Also, if it’s a spade type bit, drill until the pilot point comes through, then drill from the opposite side, to finish the hole.
I was looking for building one and you gave me an idea
Thanks mahn
If you make one send my pictures! thats awesome BayAreaCalisthenicsKid@Gmail.com
It looks great! Home Depot is our friend for this sort of stuff! 👌💪🏽✅
Indeed my friend! 😎✌
I enjoy your videos
See you with the Thenx wrist wraps 🔥🔥🔥
Chris Heria bro!... #GOALS!
@@Bay_Area_Calisthenics_Kid preach bro 💪🏿
At 3:30 you are migrating to handstand pushups. But instead of a fixed point for your foot/feet, try a sling type support that will move with you as you do the pushups. Using this with something like a Perfect Pushup is good because you can rotate as you move up and down. Or with rings. As you get more vertical you need to get a lot closer to your feet support so if you're using rings you'll have to account for this. The easiest way I've found is to use a squat rack and a gymnastic ring strap with a pad on it for the feet or ankles which can be moved forward and backward. When your feet are not locked into one position it makes all the difference in the world.
One of my dreams is to build my calisthenics place like that, but unfortunately I don't have space, but I really like your video +1 subscribe
Danilo Nascimento thanks man, there are still many things you can do without a gym like this. Thats why i love Calisthenics’s. Dip bars and parallets is where i started ✌️
@@Bay_Area_Calisthenics_Kid Thanks bro, I'm gonna use what I have and put some hard work
This is awesome
Good job!
Your little girls are adorable! They stole the show. Make some parallel bars that are more their size.
thats a great idea! and I think they are ready for it too!
Nice I subscribed bro I got to try this idea out thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Very nice, good job...
Thanx Yusuf!
When drilling, surrounding the target area with painters tape or masking tape will prevent splintering, in case you have to re build. Also. Props on snake man shirt
or just pre-drill and then use the spade bit on both sides of the timber
Awesome dad ❤
thanks very nice!
Love the video! I'm planning on doing the same thing in my backyard. For the human flag bars, would you recommend using flanges for all of the attachments to the 4x4s or should I drill the bolts into the bars like you did? Just kind of iffy about drilling into the pipe
I know I was worried about it too, but there are titanium drill bits that can do the job of going through steal pipes.
It really depends how loose the pipes feel as well, mine were a little loose so I drilled through both the wood and pipes. So it's just an extra measure to insure that they are solid. I've been working on my flag too!!!
Good luck my dude!
when the tip of the drill goes through the wood. turn it around and drill in the small new hole from the other side. then it works 100% of the time.
Next time you drill on wood put painters tape on the back side and it will prevent that wood from braking when u still it
Cute Baby Girls! and thanks for the building tips for my Teen! : )
🌴🔥nice bro wooohooo🔥🌴
Way to go Bratha and a Dad
Nice job! Just purchased and planning to have one built on my property! I'm not handy like that!
Amazing job!!! Once I buy a house I'll try to do something similar. Why need to pay thousands for all that racks when you can build yourself a decent rack and also save a lot of money!
Did you manage to buy a nice home?
VERY GOOD, VERY GOOD! CONGRATULATIONS! ONDE A BROCA CAUSOU LESÕES, PODE FAZER PREENCHIMENTO COM MASSA PRÓPRIA PARA MADEIRA.
Love you bro from India
Much Love bro! BACK at you from the East Bay in California!
🤩😘
DOPE YO!
Awesome I am thinking of building my own as well but I want the main bar to be higher so I can use my gymnastic rings for full motion and not have to bend my legs.
Nice! Did you make one yet?!
If they're that high, howd one get on the main one?
Finally a good video without a ridiculous music.
🤣
Great job! I would love to build this in January but I'm in Ontario, Canada and it's not possible... 😂
Theres always summer time! You can also install TRX pull up bar wall mounts in the garage as well.
Hell yeah.
I will give you a thumbs up for that video.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! :)
Great park bro, I'm building from the same video from Julio. I wanted to know how big are the pipes for the parallel bars? I got 1 inch but I heard 1 1/4 is better. Thank you.
I like the thicker bar as well, 1 1/4 is better! Good luck! If you build it post it!
Nice calisthenic park! I have two question, the 4 x 4 posts are stable, or is better 6 x 6? How high were the two pull bars
? Thanks for answering!
4x4 is perfect in my opinion as long as they are firm in the ground with cement. Also once you put the pull up bar through it's SOLID! The highest pull up bar is about 8 feet off the ground (since 2ft of the pole is under the ground.) and the other smaller pole is about 4.5 feet off the ground. (easier for doing jumping muscle ups and negative muscle ups.) Thanks for your comment.
Yimmy Montoya hey man if you are about to build it I recommend you to buy the pipe fittings at Amazon they work good and VERY cheap!
I leave you the link that way you can check
www.amazon.com/s?k=1+inch+pipe+fittings&sprefix=1+inch+pipe+fi&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_14
Yimmy Montoya flanges are 8-10 dollar each in Home Depot
Milo Lopez damn bro that’s a good tip. Those flanges are expensive at Home Depot!
@@Bay_Area_Calisthenics_Kid what If I use dirt instead of cement?
awesome video ! I am counting 4 flanges, not 2, is that correct ? Thanks !
To avoid the wood splitting like that don't cut all the way through from one side, cut halfway from each side to get a clean edge.
when the tip of the drill goes through the wood. turn it around and drill in the small new hole from the other side. then it works 100% of the time.
Clamp a 2x4" piece behind the hole your drilling to avoid "Tear-Out"
At Lowe’s right now buying materials. !!! $200 for all the wood, 18 bags of 50lbs concrete and 6 bags of gravel. still need to buy all the pipes. will try to stay under $400 total!
Great video.
I am looking to build me gym at home here shortly
PS. Your girls are super cute
complimenti bello
What do you do about termites eating the timber? Or you have no termites there?!
$400 in the US, guaranteed to be $1500 in Australia cos we get ripped off so bad lol😅
I may have missed what size of pipe? I used 3/4 for a chin up bar the black pipe and it tore? Maybe just to small?
how did you screw your flanges into the 2 x 4s did you use lag bolts, screws?
I used "HANDLE FIXING M4 BOLTS, LONG SCREWS" for Cupboard Door Drawers, but coach screws could work too. The holes from the drill were already large enough for the bolts to go through, then i used a hammer to get it through the wood. Once in I attached the nut at the back of the wood. (These screws have a rounded/smoother head) I liked that look a lot better. ;)
What are the spacing between the bars for the ladder behind the parallel bars?
Daniel Whitmarsh about 3 feet much too long, i should have cut them 🤧
What type of metal did you use for the bars?
What bars did you use for the ladder?
Nice one, hows your muscle up going sir?
Edit: I see you have 333 subscribers, Im scared
Conga Bonga i just posted my recent muscle up vlog, i have a bit of a chicken wing kip at times but ive been able to muster up a muscle up unassisted recently 🥂😎
B.A.C.K niceeee bro. How long did it take you to get your first muscle up? I’ve been a little annoyed seeing some videos of kids getting it in like three days. Meanwhile I’ve been training it for almost four months and still haven’t gotten my first unassisted. I can do them with the tiniest band I have, but the transition without a band still feels impossible for me!
Tyler K. One of my more recent videos is on my current progress for the muscle up, don’t compare yourself to anybody because finding joy in the journey is what this is all about, I made this channel to hold myself accountable and track my progress. it’s been over two years and I’m still learning how to clean up my muscle up I can barely do one unassisted but it needs a lot of cleaning up. So just find workouts that you like to do and ask for help it seems to be working for me so far. NEVER GIVE UP 😎✌️
B.A.C.K Just watched it! Nice man. I try not to compare myself, but it’s nice to at least hear that you didn’t get it overnight! The journey has been fun though. I progressed down my bands so quickly at first and now I just have felt a little stuck on the last one. I’ve been focusing on training lots of explosive pull ups and straight bar dips.
what was the overall cost roughly ? Sorry if it was mentioned but haven't noticed. Looks great though well done!
About $400 but that was 2 years ago, and keep in mind during corona virus EVERYONE is doing DIY projects and getting materials from local depot's. So now the cost may go up.. however that being said it's worth saving up the time and money to do it, I use it everyday!
@@Bay_Area_Calisthenics_Kid
oh yes, rn materials are spare but its certainly a great price. You should put it in the title! it honestly is a bargain given how an average gym membership costs similar per annum. While for the same price you own a gym.
Thank you for a reply btw!
@@MrKrypton36 for sure, thanks for the kind words
You really made the dip bars too wide, but awesome work!
Apex of Exertion they are way to wide my dude, but thanks it was a learning experience !
B. A. C. K.
did you leave the link to see Julio's video.
Thanks
Jose Alvaro Coto yep in the description 🙏
I’ve been wondering if the parallel bars were to be slightly angled together, would it limit the exercises that are usually done, with the body perpendicular to be bars? My kids and I are different sizes, and could just move down the bars, to get the right width. Anyone ever hear of a design like that?
Leeb Dj As long as you’re not a crazy gymnast doing flips and other fast dynamic movements I think that would be just fine. Also you wouldn’t want the angle to be so extreme that it would put your wrists at a bad angle...mostly o use parrallel bars for doing dips, handstands, planche and occasionally rows and levers underneath. Having them come closer at one end would t interfere with that. I’d say go for it
Lovely kids
any advice on how to go about hiring someone to build it? Craigslist I guess?
YOU CAN DO IT! :) Otherwise I'm sure hiring a contractor wouldn't be hard. That would definitely be another expense about equal to the cost of the supplies maybe.
Where can I get those resistance bands that you are using?
Amazon just search resistance bands, there are so many to choose from :)
Does snow affect builds like this?
Not entirely sure actually. I know it's done well in the rain.
How did u get the turf around the poles?? Can't figure it out and I don't want to cut it and ruin my expsive turff😳😳
I cut a straight line an pinned it down with long nails into the earth beneath.. when you comb the turf with a rack after you cant tell
What’s the size of the wood gate post ?
Here in PH we dont have any backyard sad😞
sorry my friend! Im working on making one out in a field near my friends house hahah try to make it work where you can! Otherwise, you can at home calisthenics equipment off of amazon?
Hey, what height did you use for that lower pull up bar?
One, 4x4x8 ft Redwood post and the bar is 1in x 5 ft Galvanized Pipe
(For shorter pull up bar) The post will be at least 2 feet in the ground
(so 6 feet above ground for the hight.) and the bar placement is at about 5 feet up the post.
Hope this helps!
@@Bay_Area_Calisthenics_Kid yes, thanks! starting next week :)
