Scaffold-Tube Pull-Up & Dip Rig — step-by-step guide

The principle

Footings and cure time are non-negotiable. Posts set 600 mm deep, fittings torqued and thread-locked, and cast concrete left the full 28 days — green concrete shatters under a first lift.

  • Galvanised scaffold Ø48.3mm (6× lengths)
  • Kee-Klamp fittings (size-8)
  • concrete (6 bags)
  • gravel surfacing

Tools

  • Post-hole auger
  • angle grinder
  • spirit level
  • rubber mallet
  • Allen keys
