You know the round posts they use for small electrical poles?
I'd go to a lumber supplier that sells to the public to buy that. The key is burying it about 4-5 feet down for maximum stability, but less would work as long as you're using cement. Make sure you dig a decent radius, don't get lazy or cheap out. Keep your actual bar lengths as close together as you can without making it difficult to use, so as to avoid the bars bending over time.

If you don't want the bars to spin, drill your 1-1/2 or 2 inch holes for your bars, then cross drill those holes for some big bolts running perpendicular through the bars. Don't cheap out on those.

My gut says galvanized/black iron pipe would work, but visit home depot/Lowe's to see how strong it is.

If it meets your requirements, you can leave the threaded ends capped at the ends of the post to secure it and give it a finished look. I would make sure to go all the way through the posts.

Also, you don't need 4-5 feet on all of them, just the taller support posts.

Great, will look further into your advice, anon.

big thanks

No. Just buy 1" cold rolled steel from a scrap yard. Swinging around on a hollow pipe is stupid and will surely fuck you up when it buckles

>pic for ants
either secure the top to a nearby wall (like what you might see on a commercial gym) or replace the tallest columns with a triangle/pyramid shaped structure (so it doesnt move back and forth)
still, that would be a pain to used in the winter or the summer, but seems pretty nice for everything in between (no rain nor scorching hot sun)

Reverse 2 and 3 ...

Plenty of youtube videos to show up to put posts in the ground with quickcrete (or some other simple post setting concrete which needs no mixing). Just make sure to put a little mound around the posts so it doesn't sit in a puddle.

Instead of the vertical metal pipe you could double up on the 4 by 4 (or go 8 by 8).
