Jason Moore Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 So I have the Rogue Ring Hanger to go with my Xtreme rings: WFS http://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-ri...ew-list-anchorIt is 36" long with holes every 2".The problem is the joists in my garage are of the convenient 19.2" between centers variety, so I can't mount it across multiple joists (1.5" joist thickness).I've seen a lot of joist mounted pullup bars that are on a single joist. If I go along a single joist and put in five 3/8" x 4" lag screws evenly spaced up through the ceiling, do you think it will be ok on a single joist?Additional info:I am totally ok with posting a sign on it saying "no kipping".There is a bedroom above the garage.TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Dano Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Crossing two joists shares the load better, but what you suggest will work too. If you want to cross two joists then just nail a couple of 2x6 blocks to the existing joists so you can get the holes lined up with the wood, or drill a hole in the hangar at the right place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Moore Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Great idea. It looks like I won't be drilling through the steel, so what I'm thinking is the 2x6 is my best bet. I'll post some pics of it when it goes up. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Moore Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Pics of the final product.It's attached to 3 joists with five 3/8"x4" lag screws through the 2"x6". The ring hanger is attached to the 2"x6" with five 3/8" screws as well. As per my crude diagram.This thing ain't goin' nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Frank Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Awesome setup. Check your cam buckles though. Looks like you have them fed through the wrong way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDERIC DUPONT Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Ouch... yes, the straps enter the cams via the exit... this is not going to end well! Good catch Finnbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
