I'm installing a pull up bar.

[animalia]

right next to themounting bracket next to the screw? or right up against the wall?

The washer normally goes nearest the head of the screw. It's there to support it.

 

[vi edit]

Washers typically go between the "head" of the screw and the "thing" that you are screwing them into.

You mounted this pull up bar into a solid wall or stud in the wall I hope?

You mean a drywall anchor isn't enough?

I'm willing to bet it's in the frame of a doorway. But that's just an educated guess.

As I said, it was a guess since most pull-up bars are door mounted.

yes it's in the doorway...is that bad? the wall is not dry wall...this is a solidly built old house. (duplex) and they pretty much didn't use dry wall back then. comparing it to my aunt's doorframes (definitely new and dry wall,_they are nothing similar. ) feels and looks like solid wood
edit: there are also mounting brackets

 

[animalia]

installed it, a few pull up's and it works great. "deluxe" version with padding!
