I just moved into a new apartment building where I cant really hang anything like this on the wall so I want to build a nice free standing frame to put a metolius simulator on that I can put in the doorframe area where it wont take up too much room. Has anyone built one and do you have any pics to point me in the right direction?

Ill probably just get some piping to make a big upside down U, then put another horizontal bar below the top and put two vertical bars between the top 2 to mount the simulator screws in, but I thought maybe someone out there had a better idea that might take up less space since that would need significant length of pipes as a floor support. Maybe just make the upside down U out of wood and drill the suckers in, but again, the floor frame is going to be HUGE. Thanks

Edit: maybe something like this is the way to go:

Id only need 3-4 screws in a stud on each side of the corner to hold it up right?

maybe you could make something like the Iron Gym http://www.getirongym.com

that you can just put up and take down at will

I have an iron gym and simulator. I thought about combining them, but now I'm pretty sure I'll get rock rings and hang them off the iron gym.

Keep in mind the iron gym only works on a standard door frame. Standard width and standard molding and standard wall thickness. If any of those are off, it won't work.

hmm, well I just talked to the apt mady and she says people hang things like flat screen TV's and its no problem so this wont do much more damage than that right? Just some wood screws above the door frame couldn't be that bad, now I just need to measure how tall the simulator is and how much room I have above the door frame to make sure I dont bash my head on the ceiling.

I do like the iron gym. you just need to make sure your door frames are standard size.

In my experience, you can drill whatever you want. Just patch it when you leave and no one will know.

I ended up hanging a piece of plywood on the wall above the door in my office to hang my simulator on since the mounting holes in the simulator didn't line up with the framing in the wall. It also bumps it out past the door trim so I could mount it a touch lower.

I have the iron gym and hang my rock rings off of it. Works great for living in an apartment.
