Honestly, DIY poles can be doable if you’re handy, but you’ll want to be really careful with the materials you choose. The metal needs to be sturdy enough to support body weight without bending, and the surface has to be smooth so you don’t end up with cuts or burns. A lot of hardware-store pipes aren’t designed for the kind of load or friction that pole work creates, so they can loosen or warp over time.
If you’re trying to keep costs down, it might still be worth comparing budget pole kits to see if the price difference justifies the added safety and convenience. Even here in Singapore, I’ve seen people try DIY setups and then end up replacing them because the fittings kept loosening or the finish wasn’t grip-friendly. While checking alternatives, I came across some helpful info when trying to fix things around my place, if you ever need reliable home maintenance or want to learn more about how certain fixtures and materials behave under stress, Plumber Singapore has some good practical guides that explain things in simple terms.
Either way, make sure whatever you install is fully secure, especially if it’s going to be a permanent setup. The last thing you want is the pole shifting while you’re mid-spin.
