How to make Gymnastics/Fitness Rings from PVC Conduit

Step 9Find a nice place to hang them!

Find a nice place to hang them!
There, you're done! I didn't follow this step as I only have a pullup-bar at the moment (I'll find somewhere better to hang them). Though you could feed rope through the rings as in the other Gym ring Indestructible and then attach the lashing straps, I found that the rings are so rigid that just feeding in the straps works well (at least with my body weight). Kinking was never an issue. I had used plywood under my trashcan and pressed down hard on the left ring so there was a bit of plywood texture on it. I just sanded the texture off and used steel wool to make it smooth. If you want grippier rings, you can just add athletic tape or tennis-grip tape.

Cool, dude. I ended up suspending them from 1-ton beam clamps that you can get from Fastenal.com, which were hung on a steel beam in my boss's gym. You can also use these rings for over splits training, which, as a guy, they hurt like nothing else. Cool thought with just using the lashing straps. I really only used the rope to get more length out of the lashing straps.
