There are NO monkey bars in my area. NONE. And there's no where I can do pull ups. At least, not one within 15 miles of my house.
My question to you is, should I buy/make a monkey bar thing in my backyard?
I saw one of you guys video's that had a monkey bar, with a cliff hanger like obstacle sticking out of it. (Which is awesome)
And if you think I should buy monkey bars, do you know the best deals for them
Thanks.

At BYO, Build Your Own, there are some options that you can perform. 1> Purchase a full out Monkey Bar Set. www.byoswingset.com/frmoba.html2> Purchase just the bars and mount them on something. www.byoswingset.com/newmonbaron.htmlI checked the professional pre-built monkey bar set and it costs around $300. I'm guessing that's not in your budget. |

Yeah, I'm willing to spend around that for some good monkey bars.
Do you or anyone know what video I'm talking about? I'd like to see how he built his Monkey Bars masterpiece.

I didn't check out that site, but if you want it to be accurate to the Swing Ladder, then buy the monkey bars, and either attach rope or chain to the corners to it from something up high. Done!  |

I wouldn't think you should make monkey bars if you want to get better at pull-ups. Just a simple bar would work.

I can easily add Lamp Grasper (Globe Grasp) -like obstacles onto the monkey bars, as well as add a cliff hanger on the side. I'm totally copying a guy who did this exact thing. But I like the idea of putting multiple obstacles into a small space, due to the fact that my backyard is the size of my bedroom, and this is the best way to conserve space it seems. |

Well if you want to save space why waste it on the Swing Ladder? I'm sure there are alot of other obstacles that you can make that are better for training that are smaller. And hell must be freezing for me to say this next statement... But take Yamada Katsumi as a good example, I mean he has a good amount of obstacles in his driveway, just puts several things in the same space.  |

I'm putting 3 obstacles, Swing Ladder (Although it wont swing) Globe grasp, and Cliff Hanger all in the same spot, Its hard for me to do the swing ladder too, so I think it would be a great obstacle for noobs like me to practice on. |

I would just recommend something harder. It's like when I built the Sextuple Steps. Once I had them and I could do them easily, I felt stupid for wasting my resources on something so easy. But if you really have problems climbing and stuff, go for it, I suppose. Just saying where I was coming from.  |

Give me the hundreds of dollars it would cost to ship them. |

Weight is more important than distance when it comes to shipping.

Use the supports of the ceiling/floor above you. Is there a park with soccer goals? Or a community college gym? Any alternatives that would be cheaper than shipping a monkey bar set to your house? |

I also like building things. I only bought the bars, not the wood or anything. THAT would be expensive. |
