pull up station ideas please? (lemmy.world)

I need a pull up station, NOT a pull up bar, because I plan on doing bodyweight dead lifts in the middle of summer AND winter and jungle gyms just dont cut it in the fall and winter obviously. Im only 5'9 if that helps.

Any ideas please? Could I just go to like a landfill and pick up some discarded metal bars and like get them welded together? Or do I just buy one of those big coat racks and remove the wheels on the legs and weld on a steel platform for each of the legs??

Thanks to anyone who answers.

I got a metal pipe from a chain link fence I was tearing down and used some scrap lumber for a frame. It isn't perfect, but I'm not that handy or picky.

Places that pre-fab houses/ trailers/ pallets often have a free bin where you can get shorter pieces of lumber. Maybe some equivalent for metal bars or pipes (welding shops? fencing companies? Plumbing or gas fitting? Places where site / building demo is happening).

Where I live it is illegal to take things from the landfill and they are quite well monitored.
