Diy Monkey Bars Pipe. Began planning to create a custom jungle gym for a 2 yo toddler based on 3/4' pvc tubing, something like this but bigger with 4' high monkey bars and a slide. Generally most parkour programs are using either 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 nominal pipe (1.66 or 1.9 od respectively) and we recommend to always upgrade to schedule 80 (greater wall.
Each monkey bars kit includes (6) rungs, (12) lag. The great thing about this bombproof model, however, is it is built with four separate anchor points, giving lots of redundancy to the system. Step 9 for the floor framing, screw from the outsides the joists in place and also attach to the vertical wall studs.
Playground equipment is expensive, but you can make your own monkey bars easily with a few supplies.
My 6 year old loves the monkey bars at school, but has outgrown the small set of monkey bars we have attached to a playset. To start, cut wooden boards to size using a hand saw and a miter saw. Drill pilot holes through the bottom plate and insert 2 1/2″ screws into the vertical supports to lock everything together tightly. Cut the components from 2×4 lumber.
