Ernie, look at my post above and go to your local hardware and ask for that size shield anchors, etc. As for the press fit, no se?

Can you still explain how the board stays on the tubes. Did you drill the hole all the way through to the back end? If so how did you bypass the screw holding on the cross beam of the pull up bar.

1. Drill out two holes in the board that are the same size or ever so slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the pull up bar tubes. I had to pull back the foam on the ends of the bar.

2. Force the tubes into the holes such that the end of the tube is flush with front side of the board. If your holes are too small remove a little material and try again. You want the fit to be as tight as possible as this is what allows the board to stay put without using any screws or bolts. For the uninitiated, this is a "press fit." I lightly tapped the tubes into the holes with a large rubber mallet. The amount of tube that is in the board is equal to the thickness of the board. I used a 2 x 12 for the board.

3. Mount your holds or hang board of choice.

Does this tear up your doorframe with all the weight you put on it?

As long as you replace the foam (or just tape it up) when it starts to wear down, I've noticed no wear on my door frames. Actually, the only damage done was by the retainer clip you're supposed to put on the back side - but I've been using my pullup bar without it for a couple years and never had an issue, even if I get a little dynamic.

To help Erin did you put the lag shields into the pull up bar that are perpendicular to the frame and then drill into them securing the wood in place?
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
