Looking after it

Keep the rings dry and out of permanent weather. Wood handles a garden session and does not enjoy a winter outdoors. Check the strap webbing and the buckle before each session, look for fraying or fading where the strap passes over a beam, and replace the straps if either shows.

27mm Wooden GripWarmer and less slippery than metal

23cm wooden rings on 4.3m straps, rated to 225kg each.

Quick locking buckles so the height changes in seconds, which is what lets one pair cover dips, rows, pull ups and everything underneath.

A pair of wooden gym rings, 23cm across with a 27mm thick grip.

Each ring comes with its own 4.3m nylon strap, 2.5cm wide, with a quick locking buckle.

Rated to 225kg per ring.

Wood grips better than metal or plastic when hands are sweaty, and it is easier on the skin.

Wooden Gymnastic Rings

Rings do something no fixed bar can. They move, so every exercise recruits the stabilising muscles that a bar takes care of for you.

Wooden Gymnastic Rings

That is why a beginner finds a ring push up harder than a floor push up, and why a ring row is a genuinely different exercise from a barbell row.

Wooden Gymnastic Rings

The height is the whole game. Set high, these are for pull ups, hangs and, eventually, muscle ups. Set low, the same pair covers dips, rows, inverted rows, ring push ups and every feet on the floor progression that makes the harder work possible later.

Wooden Gymnastic Rings

At 4.3m per strap there is enough length for a garden beam, a high branch or a beam in a garage, with plenty left to adjust.

Wooden Gymnastic Rings

The rings themselves are 23cm across with a 27mm grip, which is the size most adults find comfortable. Wood is the traditional choice because it grips when hands sweat, where metal gets slippery and plastic gets sticky.

Not sure yet? That is fine.

You can change your mind. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, and a further 14 days to send it back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big are the rings?

23cm in diameter, with a 27mm thick grip.

How much weight do they hold?

225kg per ring.

Does that mean I can hang 225kg from them?

The rings are rated to that. What actually limits you is the beam, bar or branch you hang them from, and that is worth checking first.

How long are the straps?

4.3m of strapping per ring, 2.5cm wide, and there are two straps included.

Is 4.3m enough for a high beam?

Yes, comfortably, with length left over to adjust the height.

How do I change the height?

The buckles are quick locking. Pull the strap through, set the height, and it locks. It takes seconds.

Will the buckles slip under load?

They lock under load, which is what the design does. Seat the strap properly and take the slack out before you hang.

What can I hang them from?

A pull up bar, a beam, a rafter, a rack or a strong branch. Whatever it is has to take your bodyweight in motion, which is more than your standing weight.

Can I use them on a door frame pull up bar?

Only if the bar is rated for it and the frame is sound. Swinging loads are harder on a door bar than pull ups are.

Can I use them outdoors?

Yes, on a beam or a branch. Bring them in afterwards, because wood does not enjoy a British winter.

Are they good for beginners?

Yes, if you set them low. Feet on the floor rows and push ups are where everyone starts, and the height adjustment is what makes that possible.

What exercises can I do?

Pull ups, chin ups, rows, dips, push ups, holds, tucks, leg raises and the progressions towards muscle ups and levers.

Why wood rather than plastic or metal?

Wood keeps its grip when your hands sweat. Metal gets slippery and plastic gets tacky.

Do I need chalk?

Not usually with wood, which is one of the reasons people prefer it.

Will they splinter?

Not in normal use. Keep them dry, because water in the grain is what raises a rough patch.

Can I sand them if they get rough?

A light rub with fine paper is normal maintenance on wooden rings.

How far apart should they hang?

About shoulder width for most work, wider for some hold positions. The straps make it easy to change.

How high should they be for dips?

High enough that your feet clear the floor when your arms are straight, and no higher. Low dips are safer to learn on.

Can children use them?

Under supervision, with the rings set low. The height adjustment is the safety feature.

Do they come with instructions?

The straps and buckles are self explanatory once you have threaded one. There is no assembly beyond that.

Can I hang them from a tree branch?

Yes, if the branch is live, thick and sound. Pad the strap if the bark is rough, and check the branch each time.

Will the straps damage a wooden beam?

Nylon can mark a soft or painted beam over time. A cloth over the beam under the strap prevents it.

How do I check the straps are safe?

Look at the section that runs over the anchor point. Fraying, fluffing and heavy fading are the signs, and any of them means new straps.

Can I buy replacement straps?

Ask us. Straps are the wear part on any ring set.

Are they Olympic specification?

They are wooden gym rings for training at home. Competition still rings are a certified apparatus on a fixed frame.

Do they come as a pair?

Yes, two rings and two straps.

Can I take them travelling?

Yes, they roll up small. That is one of the main reasons people own rings rather than a bar.

Do they need any maintenance?

Keep them dry, check the straps, and that is it.

How long does delivery take?

Five to seven days across the UK. Under £75 the delivery charge is £25, so this one is usually worth adding to a bigger order.

Can I return them?

Yes. They are a stock item, so the full 14 day right to change your mind applies alongside your faulty goods rights.

Hanging rings safely and setting the right height

4 min read The Outdoor Sports Company

The anchor, not the rings

Each ring is rated to 225kg, which is far more than anyone reading this weighs.

That number is about the ring. The question that actually matters is what you hang it from, because a person swinging generates well over their standing weight, and the beam, bar or branch is what has to take that.

Beams and rafters. Check what the beam is doing structurally before you use it. A purlin or a joist under a floor is usually fine; a decorative beam bolted to a ceiling is not.

Pull up bars. Only if rated for dynamic load. A bar that is happy with pull ups can be unhappy with a swinging ring.

Branches. Live, thick, and inspected every time. Dead wood fails without warning, and it fails completely.

Height decides the exercise

This is the part most people underuse. One pair of rings covers a wide range of training, and all it takes is the buckle.

Low, at knee height. Rows with your feet on the floor, ring push ups, and the easiest way to learn to keep the rings still.

Mid, at hip height. Dips, tucks and support holds where you can bail onto your feet.

High, overhead. Pull ups, hangs, leg raises and eventually the work that people buy rings for in the first place.

Change it in a few seconds and you can run a whole session across all three.

Learning to keep them still

Rings feel unstable because they are, and that is the point.

Start every new exercise closer to the floor than you think you need. Turn the rings out at the top of a hold; that external rotation is what stops the wobble and it is the technique cue that makes everything else work.

Progress by moving your feet, not by adding weight. Feet further forward makes a row harder. That is the whole progression system.

Strap checks that take ten seconds

Look at the wear point. The bit that runs over the beam takes all the friction. Fluffing and fading there mean the strap is aging.

Take the slack out before you load. Buckles lock under tension, and a strap loaded from slack is a strap that can slip an inch and surprise you.

Protect the beam. A cloth between the strap and painted or soft wood saves the beam and does nothing to the rings.

Page summary

Wooden Gymnastic Rings, also sold as Gym Rings For Home or Olympic Still Rings, from The Outdoor Sports Company at myoutdoorsports.co.uk. A pair of wooden gymnastic rings, 23cm in diameter with a 27mm thick grip, supplied with two nylon straps: 2.5cm wide and 4.3 metres of strapping per ring, with quick locking buckles that change the hanging height in seconds. Each ring is rated to 225kg. Price GBP 49, reduced from GBP 79. They are used for pull ups, hangs, dips, rows, ring push ups, holds and feet on the floor progressions; the height setting is what changes which exercises are possible. Wood is used for the grip because it stays grippy when hands are sweaty, unlike metal or plastic. They hang from a beam, a bar, a rafter or a strong branch, and the anchor point rather than the rings is what limits the load. Care: keep them dry, check the webbing and buckles before each session, replace straps that fray. UK wide delivery, free over GBP 75, otherwise GBP 25, arriving in 5 to 7 days. A stock item, not made to order, so the 14 day change of mind cancellation right applies in full.
