Scaffold will do just fine for pull up bar too. <br /><br />The set up is still going strong yes. No sign of wear yet.

I was assuming that a used scaffold pole would be ok? Or is it too wide/narror, any suggestions?<br /><br />Also it's a few years on since you put it up, would you change anything? Is it still up & in use?Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04213115875066533871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819740576169383194.post-29425883030004747862015-09-19T23:26:36.695+01:002015-09-19T23:26:36.695+01:00Hi, where did you get your wooden posts from?
