Cool! I've been doing Crossfit and would love one of these in my yard so I can practice all my pullups!

So cement is not used here? Is it still sturdy?

Yes it is still sturdy. So far no problems.

OUTSTANDING IDEA!!! Why didn't I think about this? Now I wish I hadn't bought all that Quickcrete for my project.
