Basic unfinished wooden pull-up bar, various lengths

BASIC ash wood pull-up bar, untreated – freely suspended, made in Germany

Curved, untreated, available in 60 or 100 cm – with rope, optionally with carabiners.

• Handcrafted from local ash: wood from the Danube Forest and the valleys of the Swabian Jura – every bar is unique.
• Untreated: maximum grip, a pure wood feel – can be treated with oil or wax at any time.
• Freely suspended from a central point: both arms must apply exactly the same amount of force – perfect balance training.
• Curved shape: every grip position is optimally aligned with the center of your body and protects your wrists.
• Our most affordable entry-level option: 60 or 100 cm, 38 mm handle diameter, load capacity up to 100 kg.

What makes this bar special

Most pull-up bars are rigidly screwed to the wall. Ours hangs freely from a central point – and you notice it immediately.

Because the bar is suspended freely, you have to apply exactly the same amount of force with both arms. Your stronger side can no longer compensate. This is perfect balance training and an ideal counterbalance for one-sided sports such as tennis or golf – or for everyday work involving a lot of sitting and lifting on one side.

Then there is the curved shape: Every grip position is optimally aligned with the center of your body, which protects your wrists. And untreated ash feels warm and grippy – no cold metal, no slipping.

Untreated – for purists

This bar comes just as the wood grew: untreated, without oil or varnish. This gives you maximum grip and an authentic wood feel under your hands.

If you like, you can later treat it yourself with oil or wax. If you prefer protection against sweaty hands from the outset, choose the oiled version.

Two versions to choose from

You can choose between the rope-only version and the version with rope and carabiners. If you already have carabiners – for example from a Sling-Trainer – the rope-only version is all you need.

Why ash?

Ash has been used for a very long time to make sports equipment because of its toughness and bending strength – for parallel bars, stall bars, and much more. It delivers the strength promised by metal, while feeling significantly better.

Our wood comes from the Danube Forest and the valleys of the Swabian Alb. There, the ash trees receive enough water and nutrients for the strong growth that makes their excellent structural properties possible.

After being felled in winter, the logs are sawn into boards in the neighboring town, stacked, and naturally dried – entirely without energy consumption. This fully preserves their structural properties.

A natural product – and it shows

To be completely honest: Your bar will not look perfectly uniform. And that is a good thing.

Long-term, natural outdoor storage causes changes in the surface color. During further processing, a darker edge sometimes remains. This is not a defect, but a sign of responsible use of raw materials and energy – we do not plane away more than necessary.

Some ash trees develop a brown heartwood, resulting in particularly beautiful, richly colored pieces. Irregular color patterns form at the transition from root to trunk or from trunk to crown due to nutrient accumulation. Occasionally, the so-called “interlocked grain” appears – a wavy grain pattern that is highly valued in musical instrument making.

Especially with the natural version, your bar will continue to darken during the first few weeks due to UV radiation, as the previously protected wood is now exposed to light. This is also normal.

Mounting – how to hang it

You can find the detailed instructions here in the operating instructions.

With a ceiling mount (not included), simply attach the rope ends using the carabiners.

For very high ceilings over 350 cm or training on a tree, we also recommend our 4 m sling for beams or branches (not included).

Care

The wood is easy to care for—a lightly damp cotton cloth is all you need. Its color may change slightly over time due to varying exposure to light. If you wish, you can treat the bar with oil or wax at any time.

Perfectly compatible with your Sling-Trainer

If you already own an eaglefit Sling-Trainer, this bar is the ideal addition: Simply order the “with rope” version, attach the ends of the rope to the carabiner on your existing fastening strap, adjust the length—and you’re done. You save on accessories you already have.

Still need a fastening strap? Then choose the EXCLUSIVE natural finish—the adjustable-length strap (41–177 cm, in four colors) is already included.

Can’t do a pull-up yet?

No problem—that’s how it is for almost everyone at first. Our fitness band made of natural latex takes some of the weight off, allowing you to practice with proper form and build strength step by step. Most people achieve their first unassisted pull-up sooner than they think.
