Outdoor gym bars from scaffold or diy

G-Man · 2018-07-11 13:50:25

My kids have taken great interest in gymnastics. I wanted to get or build some outdoor gym bars and similar climbing equipment. I am thinking parallel bars, beam, climbing frame, monkey bars. Is there a good supplier or indeed online plans to make some.. I am quite handy with metal equipment, but want to do very attractive…

This thread a few weeks back had a cool example of a garden setup. Is it something along those lines?

I would not use scaffold especially for a kid as it would be way to thick and the connection points can be a bit dangerous to bump off. The link above has some good examples of what can be done.

Climbing walls are a bit trickier but if you have a big wall and a concrete drill you can buy a box of holds for cheap enough on amazon or ebay or from most climbing retailers.
