Wall/Joist mounted Pull-up bars

[Stoops11]

Hi, i'm wondering if anyone could help me find a decent Pullup/chin up bar which could be mounted on preferably a wooden joist.

I have recently done my garage into a gym, and we have a wooden beam stretching the width of the wall, the reason we want the pullup bar on the joist is because the walls are thermalite block, plastered. So i don't know how sterdy the ball will be if attached to the wall.

I live in the UK and have only found 2 pullup bars which would suit my joist, but both are from america.

I'm looking for something less than £60, if anyone has any links of bars they know of/own i'd be very greatful

google the Iron Gym..... its like 30 bucks + a possible shipping and handling fee and it goes right over your door.

I'd make one. Just get a 3/4" (or Metric equiv.) iron pipe, about a meter long and threaded at both ends, and some matching pipe elbows and suitable nipples, and make the bar to completely hook over the joist as one piece; no drilling to weaken the integrity of the joist. You can go to a bicycle shop and get handlebars foam covering, if you want. You can mount it in other ways too; including bolting other crossmembers to the joist, or any number of safe and sturdy ways.
