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!

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
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.
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.

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.
I have a home made spreader bar in the closet right now. the right length of pvc pipe found from my garage and some nice leather cuffs i already had attached to the longest of old recycled purse straps with claw hooks on them. AWESOME what you can when you look around you ;]
good luck everyone haha

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!
