Practice gymnastics at home. In the space you already have.
A BenchK gymnastics wall bar with the A076 or A204 kit gives kids gymnastic rings and a cotton rope with a wooden swing seat, both hung from the wall bar’s pull-up bar. The kit holds one person up to 176 lb (80 kg) and is for children from age 3, with an adult watching from 3 to 14. Adults train on the same Swedish ladder: Series 2 and 7 frames are rated for 330 lb (150 kg), the all-beech Series 1 for 265 lb (120 kg).
Gymnastic rings and a rope swing that hang from the pull-up bar.
Two beech plywood rings on black webbing straps. On the wooden pull-up bar the straps thread through its side brackets; on a steel bar they hang from the kit's two carabiners. A buckle on each strap sets the ring height in seconds. Check that both buckles are fastened before anyone hangs on the rings.
A cotton rope hangs from the same bar on its knotted loop, with a round wooden plate at the bottom. Children sit on the plate to swing, or climb the rope hand over hand. The manual forbids standing on the plate.
One person at a time, up to 176 lb (80 kg). The kit is not for children under 3; from 3 to 14, a child uses it with an adult watching. The manual also asks for an exercise mat under the ladder and clear space around it.
A076 and A204 are the same kit in two finishes. A076 parts are beech stained an oak color and come with the black sets; A204 parts are natural light beech and come with the white sets and the Series 1 set. Both carry a 2-year warranty, and the manual states that both meet PN-EN 12346:2001 and PN-EN 913:2019-03. Read the A076 / A204 manual (PDF).
What the wall covers for a young gymnast.
Eight kinds of home gymnastics practice the ladder, the bar and the kit support, all done over a mat. Skills that need a spotter stay at the gym.
Hangs
From any rung or from the pull-up bar. The rungs on every BenchK ladder sit 9¼ in (235 mm) apart, measured as the clear gap.
Leg raises and knee tucks
Hanging from the pull-up bar, or with the back against the ladder and both hands on a rung overhead.
Pull-ups and chin-ups
On the wooden pull-up bar that comes with every set, rated 265 lb (120 kg). It rests on any rung pair and lifts off without tools, so it can sit lower for a shorter child.
Ring rows and support holds
The strap buckles set the ring height: low for rows with the feet on the floor, about hip height for support holds.
Rope climbing
Hand over hand from the swing plate toward the bar. The manual's rule: never wrap the rope around any part of the body.
Swinging
Seated on the round wooden plate, one child at a time. The manual says never to stand on it.
Climbing the ladder
Up and down the rungs, with a mat on the floor below. The BenchK manuals ask for a mat or exercise mattress under every wall bar.
Conditioning on the mat
Sit-ups with the feet hooked under a low rung, V-ups, and stretches holding a rung at shoulder height.
The rules printed in the A076 / A204 manual.
One person at a time
On the rings, on the rope and on the ladder. The BenchK gymnastics wall bar manuals print the same rule.
Not for children under 3
From 3 to 14, children use the kit with an adult supervising.
176 lb (80 kg) maximum
The kit's limit for one user. The wooden pull-up bar it hangs from is rated 265 lb (120 kg).
A mat and clear space
Put an exercise mat or mattress under the ladder and leave room around it for swinging.
Check before each use
The kit hangs correctly from the bar, and both ring buckles are fastened.
Never stand on the wooden plate
The plate is a seat for swinging.
Never put the head between the straps
Keep heads clear of the ring straps at all times.
Never wrap the rope around the body
Not around a hand, an arm, a leg or the neck.
Five sets come with the kit.
Each set is a BenchK ladder, a wooden pull-up bar and the gymnastics kit, from $1,139. The black sets come with the oak-colored PB076 bar and the A076 kit; the white sets and the all-beech 111 come with the light beech PB204 bar and the A204 kit. If your BenchK already has a pull-up bar, the A204 hangs from it on its own for $229.

Wall hardware is sold separately.
Every set ships with its frame assembly kit. The anchors depend on your wall, so you pick them:
Masonry or concrete
A wall at least 4.7 in (12 cm) thick takes our Fischer expansion-bolt kits: PS8 ($89) for Series 1 and 2, PS12 ($99) for Series 7.
Wood studs
Series 2 and 7 need the WHB+S8 or WHW+S8 wall holder ($289); Series 1 needs the WH1+S4 ($259). The holder spreads the load across studs.
Drywall alone
Never mount a wall bar to drywall alone. It needs masonry or a stud-wall holder behind it.

Common questions from gymnastics families.
What ages is this for?
The rings and rope kit is not for children under 3. Children from 3 to 14 use it with an adult watching, one at a time, and every user must weigh 176 lb (80 kg) or less. The ladder and the wooden pull-up bar carry adults too, so the wall keeps working once the kit comes down.
Is it safe for kids?
The BenchK manuals state that the kit, the wooden pull-up bar and the wall bars meet PN-EN 12346:2001 and PN-EN 913:2019-03, the European safety standards for gymnastic equipment. Weight limits: 176 lb (80 kg) for the kit, 265 lb (120 kg) for the wooden pull-up bar and the all-beech Series 1, 330 lb (150 kg) for Series 2 and 7 ladders. Safe use also depends on the manual's rules: an adult watching, a mat under the ladder, one child at a time.
What's the difference between A076 and A204?
They are the same kit in two finishes: gymnastic rings and a cotton rope with a wooden swing, hung from a BenchK pull-up bar and rated 176 lb (80 kg). A076 parts are beech stained an oak color and come with the black 211B and 711B sets. A204 parts are natural light beech and come with the white 211W and 711W sets and the 111. The A204 also sells on its own for $229.
Where does the kit hang?
From the pull-up bar of a BenchK wall bar, wooden or steel, as drawings A and B in the manual show. On the wooden bar the ring straps thread through its side brackets; on a steel bar they hang from the kit's two carabiners. The rope hangs from its knotted loop. The manual allows the kit on BenchK wall bars only.
Should we ask a coach before practicing at home?
Yes, for anything beyond hangs, swings and climbing. Home practice has no spotter, so ask your child's coach which drills suit the wall and which belong at the gym.
Can adults use the same wall?
Yes. Adults train on the ladder and on the wooden pull-up bar, rated 265 lb (120 kg). Series 2 and 7 frames also take the PB2 or PB3 steel pull-up bar, the DB1 dip bar and the B1 bench. The all-beech Series 1 takes the wooden pull-up bar and RECOIL training straps. The kit itself holds one person at a time, up to 176 lb (80 kg).
Does it bolt into a regular wall?
Yes, with mounting hardware sold separately. A masonry wall at least 4.7 in (12 cm) thick takes our PS8 or PS12 Fischer expansion-bolt kit. A wood-stud wall needs a wall holder that spreads the load across studs: WHB+S8 or WHW+S8 for Series 2 and 7, WH1+S4 for Series 1. Never mount a wall bar to drywall alone.
What's the warranty?
2 years on the A076 or A204 kit. Series 2 and 7 frames carry 10 years on steel parts and 2 years on other parts; the all-beech Series 1 carries 2 years. Damage from improper installation isn't covered.
