Making your own ballet barre for home use is easy and affordable!

Steps

1. 1 Using a flush wire detector, locate the 2.45 meter section on the wall. Measure 84 centimeters from the floor and mark with a pencil.
2. 2 Using a spirit level, mark six additional attachment points, measuring 40 centimeters from the center mark. Check the hidden wiring detector for the possibility of screwing in these places.
3. 3 These seven marks are where your brackets will be installed. Make sure you have no obstructions in these seven sections of wall.
4. 4 This will be the seven places on the wall where the brackets will be attached. Make sure there are no obstructions in these seven sections of the wall.
5. 5 Ask two friends to hold the ends of the handrail while you screw the center bracket to the wall at the desired height. The top of the machine should be approximately 92 centimeters from the floor.
6. 6 Level the handrail with the level of the handrail before installing the remaining two center bracket screws and securing the remaining brackets to the wall.
7. 7 Thank your friends and promise them front row seats at your next concert.
