Looking after it

Check the quick adjustment knobs are tight before every session, and check the rubber foot sleeves are still seated properly, because they are what stops the frame walking on a hard floor. Wipe the bar down after use so hands do not slip on it next time, and store it folded indoors rather than in a damp shed.

60kg CapacityRated load for the assembled frame
Non Slip FeetRubber sleeves at every base
Folds In SecondsPull up rods on both sides

A folding steel training bar with four heights.

Powder coated steel, non slip rubber feet, a 60kg capacity and a rotary lock that changes the crossbar height in seconds. Folds flat when the room is needed back.

A junior horizontal bar for home practice, assembled at 97 x 148 x 98cm.

Four adjustable heights, set with a rotary lock and quick adjustment knobs on both sides.

Rated to support up to 60kg.

Pull up connecting rods on either side fold the bar down in seconds for storage.

The height adjusts across four settings using a rotary lock, so the same bar suits a six year old learning to hang and the same child two years later working on pullovers.

Gymnastics Bar

The frame is steel with a powder coat, and the coating is doing a real job here. Bare steel in a bedroom or a garage picks up rust at the joints, and a rusted adjustment thread is what stops a bar being adjustable.

Gymnastics Bar

Non slip rubber sleeves sit at the base of each upright. On a laminate floor those are what keep the frame where it was put during a swing.

Gymnastics Bar

Folding is quick because both sides have pull up connecting rods. It goes flat and into a corner, which is what makes it liveable in a family room.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much weight does it hold?

Up to 60kg. That rating is what makes it a junior bar rather than an adult one.

Can an adult use it?

Only within the 60kg rating, which rules most adults out. Treat it as children's equipment.

How many height settings are there?

Four.

How do I change the height?

A rotary lock with quick adjustment knobs on both sides. Pull, set to the height you want, tighten both sides.

How long does adjusting take?

Seconds, once you have done it once. Both sides must end up on the same setting.

What size is it assembled?

97 x 148 x 98cm.

What is it made of?

Steel with a powder coated finish.

Why powder coated?

It resists knocks and rust. A rusted adjustment thread is what stops an adjustable bar adjusting.

Will it mark or slip on my floor?

There are non slip rubber sleeves at the base of each upright, which are there to grip and to protect the floor.

Does it need to be bolted down?

No. It is free standing, which is why the feet and the rating matter.

Does it fold?

Yes. Pull up connecting rods on either side fold it down in seconds.

How small does it fold?

Flat enough to stand in a corner or slide behind furniture. It is not a bag sized item.

Is it hard to assemble?

No, and it comes with instructions. Set it up once properly and afterwards it is a fold rather than a build.

What age is it for?

Junior gymnasts. The four heights are there so it suits a range of ages within the 60kg limit.

Should my child use it alone?

No. Gymnastics practice should be supervised, and that applies to any bar, including this one.

Should I use a mat with it?

Yes. A gymnastics mat under and around the bar is standard practice, and we sell one.

What can they practise on it?

Hanging, swinging, tuck holds, pullovers and basic bar work at junior level.

Is it a kip bar?

It is a junior horizontal training bar. Skills like kips need proper coaching, and a home bar is for practice between sessions.

Can it be used outdoors?

On a flat patio for a session, yes. It is not made to live outdoors, and a damp shed will find the joints.

What surface should it stand on?

Flat and level. Hard floors are fine because of the rubber feet, and a mat under it is better.

Does it wobble?

Not when both sides are set to the same height and the knobs are tight. Wobble almost always means one knob is not seated.

How do I know the knobs are tight enough?

Check them before every session. It takes a moment and it is the single most useful habit with adjustable equipment.

Does the bar spin?

It is a fixed crossbar, not a rotating one.

Is the bar comfortable to grip?

Wipe it down after use. Grip problems on a home bar are almost always chalk dust or hand cream on the bar.

Can I leave it up permanently?

Yes, if you have the room. Most people fold it, which is what the pull up rods are for.

How heavy is it to move?

Steel, so it has weight to it, but one adult can move it folded.

Will it fit in a car?

Folded, in most estate and hatchback boots with the seats down.

Does it come with a mat?

No, the mat is a separate product.

How long does delivery take?

Five to seven days across the UK, free on this order because it is over £75.

Can I return it?

Yes. It is a stock item, so the full 14 day right to change your mind applies alongside your faulty goods rights, provided it goes back in a saleable state.

A home gymnastics bar that fits the child and the room

4 min read The Outdoor Sports Company

Start with the weight rating

Sixty kilos sounds like a limit you will never reach until you read it as what it is: a statement that this is children's equipment.

That is not a criticism of it. A junior bar for home practice is a genuinely useful thing, and a child who can practise hangs and pullovers between club sessions improves faster than one who only trains on club nights.

It does mean that if you are an adult looking for a bar to train on, this is not that product.

Four heights, and why they get used

A bar at the wrong height is either unreachable or too low to swing under.

The four settings mean the same frame works for a small child who needs to reach the bar with their feet still on the floor, and for the same child later, working on skills that need clearance underneath.

Two rules when adjusting: both sides on the same setting, and both knobs properly tight. Almost every wobble anyone reports on any adjustable bar comes down to one of those two.

Where to put it

Floor. Flat and level. The rubber foot sleeves grip laminate and wood, which is what stops the frame travelling during a swing.

Space around it. Allow clear space in front and behind, at least the child's full height. Bars are used by swinging, and swinging needs room that furniture is not in.

A mat underneath. Not optional in practice. Falls from a bar are part of learning, and a folding gymnastics mat is the standard answer.

Supervision

The live product page this was ported from told parents the bar was a reliable training companion for a child even in their absence. That line is gone and it is not coming back.

Bar work is supervised, at a club and at home. The equipment is fine. The practice is what needs someone watching.

Keeping it working

Check the knobs before every session. Ten seconds.

Check the rubber sleeves are seated. They wander after a lot of folding, and a bare steel foot on a hard floor slides.

Store it indoors. Powder coat resists rust, it does not ignore a damp shed all winter.

Care: check the adjustment knobs before each session, keep the rubber foot sleeves seated, store indoors. UK wide delivery, free over GBP 75, otherwise GBP 25, arriving in 5 to 7 days.
