I have not used a spreader bar but I think they look pretty cool! They can cost a lot too. I found a great resource that tells you step by step instructions on how to make your own!

Yes, I know of this. There's also another method to doing it. They're very easy to make, honestly.

J and I have made a lot of stuff ourselves, you just need to take a good look at it and go for it. I bet the people at Home Depot wonder what the hell we have going on in our home

A finished dowel along with two screw eye bolts makes a great spreader bar. Not gorgeous, but way easy.

I haven't made it, but I had the same thought.

Same as Miss Kay said. Finish it with something, though, maybe paint and a gloss coat to make it nice, or the method that I'm attempting now is electric tape wrapped around it. I like this one though - I've tried to find metal rods in Home Depot and have not been able to, however.

M's got two homemade spreader bars and the materials cost us a grand total of $4.

Two wooden dowels and eye screws. Works like a charm.

Oh look! Apparently others agree!

I gotta start reading responses before responding myself. =D

Ok, since I found this post and I recently made us a new spreader bar, I will mention it here. I used a thick wooden dowel inserted into a pool noodle (you know, the floaty tubes that people use in pools), then cut to the length I wanted and screwed in eye screws to the ends. Total cost for two (one long for ankles and one shorter for wrists) $2.80 And they work fabulously and are padded by the noodle part. So much fun to make and use. Total time to make-about 20 minutes.

I'll never forget the first time an old friend/Dom of mine had me in a spreader bar. The experience was so erotic. Unfortunately, hubby isn't in to bdsm much whereas I am. It's always a good idea to make your own if you can. I can't believe how much some places charge for them.

Yea, they are ridiculously over priced.

Over a year ago I tried to make the spreader bar described in OP's post, but found that the anchors would not hold inside the bar even under lighter tension. Instead I ended up using some steel tubing, with a threaded metal rod down the middle, some washers, coupling nuts and eye bolts to finish the whole thing off. It's fairly heavy and very industrial and I love it.

You can buy a roll velcro at AC Moore that you could use in some DIY bandage projects. That stuff is VERY strong.

I was just thinking last night how I wish we had a spreader bar but didn't want to spend the money on one... I might have to try this!

My bf followed this tute to make two of these. They turned out great, have held up very well, and were very inexpensive

Oh I am SO trying this. I love you Lauren!

I've been dying to get a spreader bar, but now I think my man and I are just gonna take a trip to Home Depot and get crafty! I know he can't argue that!

I love DIY

Thanks to everyone else for the awesome suggestions too!
