Rogue P4 pull up bar mounting advice
Posted on 2/27/22 at 1:17 pm

I posted this same question on the Home/Garden board, but thought I might get some good cross over here.
I am about to mount a pull up bar rig to the wall in my extra room. The room has gypsum board over studs, and the dry wall is textured, but not finished. The studs are easy to find, and I have centers marked.
My question is: do I need to use either two horizontal stringers of say 1x6, or vertically mount a reinforcing piece of lumber (1x6 or 2x6) between the brackets and the wall, or can I just secure the brackets to the studs directly over the dry wall?
I plan on using 3/8" x 4" lag screws with washers for mounting hardware. Will mount two brackets 48" apart on center. Here is what the rig looks like. Thanks for any recommendations.

You can mount directly over the drywall if you are confident you are on the studs. Mounting straight into studs can limit your placement of the bar to only where studs are located.
The stringers give you a little more flexibility on placement since they can be mounted to the studs and the bar can be mounted to them. Also stringers give you a little more clearance from the wall.

You don’t need stringers if you’re hitting studs

I'm sure I can hit them - wold not have thought twice about mounting to drywall anchored to studs, except that in the review section of the company website, I saw a good many pictures and comments whereby folks had cut a section of lumber (usually 2x4) mounted it vertically to drywall, then screwed the brackets to that piece of lumber, and presumably on through to the stud. They called it a stringer, but to me a stringer means a horizontally oriented strip of lumber anchored to studs for the purpose of hanging something where mounting on studs might not be feasible.

Sorry, inadvertent downvote. Mounted the same right to drywall into studs, but I like the idea of a 2x6. The more clearance the better if you’re doing toes to bar or muscle ups.

I looked at this exact piece recently and plan on mounting directly to studs.

You can mount dorect but it is better to have a stringer across mutiple studs and mou ting to the stringer. It will disperse the load snd overall is a much better plan.
