CFF Wall/Ceiling Mounted Pull Up Bar with 300-Pound Working Capacity; 750 lb. Static load

The first thing I noticed when bringing this box in from the porch was that it was HEAVY. This pull up bar is beefy! Very solid steel construction with a nice powder coat finish. It was actually double-boxed AND bubble-wrapped. It arrived in great shape. I do not have any wall area in my garage due to the cabinets and shelving I've installed, so my intent was to hang this from my ceiling. It is designed to mount parallel to your joists, the brackets are exactly 48" apart to match typical joist spacing. However, I needed to install it perpendicular to the joists. This takes a little more thought. I ended up installing a couple of strips of 3/4" plywood and drilling two more holes through the support brackets so I could lag-bolt the brackets into two different joists. Quick tip- if you plan on drilling any holes in this be sure to use titanium bits, this steel is heavy and will quickly destroy an ordinary drill bit. I used the lag bolts that came with it to attach it to the joists, then used shorter lag bolts through the remainder of the holes to lag-bolt it to the plywood.I am 5'-8" and needed the bar high enough for kipping pull ups, kipping T2B, etc. Even mounted to a 9'-2" ceiling the bar was a little too low, so I drilled a couple of holes in the side brackets and moved the bar up a few inches.I installed eye bolts in the lowest holes and will use those to attach some shoulder mobility straps to. After getting the bar installed I put it through the paces and wow, it is really solid! No bending or flexing at all. I love that the bar is welded to mounting tabs that are bolted through the side brackets, this bar will never rotate like some other home setups do. It has a slightly textured finish which allows a good grip even without chalk. The bar itself is 46" wide, so plenty wide enough to hold a pair of rings that can be slid to the side when not in use (I have a pair on order to do just that). No complaints here, this bar is awesome!

I wanted a mounted pull up bar that would last. This product was a great choice. I mounted it in my garage so I can do pull ups as I'm coming and going. I followed the instructions from one of the other reviewers and mounted boards to the wall first. (I wanted a space for my rock climbing training board as well; the bar is out far enough from the wall to easily allow both.)Mounting the bar does take some work. It's heavy, so I'd recommend having a second person assist.I also bought a training band for my wife so now she can work on her pull ups. My garage has high ceilings so I'm able to work on my muscle ups, and spacing from the wall allows for kipping pull ups. My neighbors and friends who have tried it have loved it. I highly recommend this product.

This thing is solid, no doubt. The bar is perfect size for grip. My only complaint is after I mounted it, it was not level. Naturally, I thought I messed up the mounting but after checking the mounting holes and ensuring they were leveled, I noticed that there was more “material” beneath the lower support frame on one side than the other. It turns out that the entire “A” supports are not welded on the same location on the metal piece that mounts to the wall. There is nearly a 1/2” disparity between both pieces. Unfortunately, I need to re-mount this and account for that half inch disparity. It’s an easy fix but I have bad OCD and attention to detail is huge. So when you mount this thing, don’t just level based off of the hole locations only. See pics for reference.

Quite impressed by this pull-up bar. Surprised by its size, and would strongly suggest that anyone considering it first measure out the dimensions in the room where this will be installed to make sure it works. This bar sits 30" away from the wall, so it gives absolutely copious room for kipping-style pull ups. The assembly was MUCH heavier and more heavy-duty than I expected. I think the stock picture does this product a disservice because it really does't reveal how burly it is.I installed this in a finished basement workout room by myself, and found it fairly easy to do. My recommendations for installation are:1) Locate the general area where you want to install it and tape off the dimensions on the floor and wall. This will give you an indication of clearance if you have other equipment nearby. In my case, I realized the 30" protrusion from the wall would interfere with high barbell lifts where I originally planned installation. I moved the assembly two studs down the wall and was golden.2) Use a stud finder (if the room has drywall) and carefully mark the width of available studs. This is clearly a "measure twice, drill once" opportunity.3) Trace an outline of the the mounting surface of the assembly on a piece of cardboard to use as a drilling template. Mark the location of the bar on this template so you can determine the proper height against the wall. Also mark the location of the holes on the cardboard so you can pre-drill at least one hole in the studs.Only mount one side to the wall at a time; attaching the bar to the mounts AFTER they've been secured to the wall.4) Using the template and a level, determine the appropriate location on the wall for the first mount.5) Pre-drill the holes for the mount using the cardboard template as a guide. Optionally, you can drill just the top hole, then fasten the mount to that hole and use the actual mount's holes as a guide for subsequent drilling.6) Secure the first mount to the wall using the included bolts.7) Follow the steps above to position the second mount. I used a level to ensure the top of the attached mount matched the top of the template for the second mount and then pre-drilled the holes.8) Secure the second mount to the wall and finally attache the bar with the included hardware.

The piece of equipment is solid metal and heavy duty. However, it came incomplete one of the nuts used for tightening the bar was missing. The expansion anchors did not work in concrete. Therefore I had to plan a trip to Home Depot and find a nut and a set of 8 anchors for concrete. In summary I paid more that $136 for this piece. I do not recommend buying from this manufacturer.

I compared many bars before I purchased this one. What I liked most was it appeared to be quite sturdy due to the fact that the two angled supports extended all the way out to the end of the pull-up bar. I compared this to the Rogue bar in particular and went with this one, due mainly to the fact that it was free shipping and therefore much cheaper. The installation took some planning. Make sure you plan the location and allow for plenty of headroom. I have a nine foot ceiling so I was able to install at just above my extended hand height. (I am 6’ 1” and 230#) I tried out the bar today and find it a little tight for doing kipping pull-ups facing the wall, or toes to bar. I was able to turn my back to the wall though and then able to complete both kipping pull-ups and toes-to-bar with no issues. Strict pull-ups are not a problem in either direction. Very happy with this choice. In terms of hardware, I purchased some 2 x 10 and some 2 x 6 which I cut at about five feet. I dry fitted the bar on the wood first to see how everything would align and it aligned directly on 48” centre, Once I had determined this, I went ahead and installed the boards on the wall at the right height, making sure I was aligned with the studs below the sheetrock. I used a few screws and a level for this. I also had a stud finder which is time saver. I countersunk the 5/16 by 5 inch lag bolts with washers into the wood where the pull-up mount would sit, being careful to pre-drill everything. I did not countersink where the lag bolts would eventually attach through the mount. I then placed put the fully assembled mount in place and attached with a slightly longer lag bolt (probably overkill, but I knew it was a 2 x 6 wall so I had the space). I placed a few more shorter lag bolts on the studs in between and it is solid.
