Just recently got a new shed with room for my lifting equipment and some rafters suitable for ring installation, so I thought I'd finally go ahead and do it.

What do y'all recommend for rings? I see Rogue has some for $70, there are some cheaper ones on Amazon and there are some guides to making them as well. I'm leaning towards the cheap-o ones unless you guys recommend otherwise.
 
I bought cheaper ones. I made a bit of grip with a squash racket handle wrap. False grip pull ups can really rip into your wrist and as they are plastic they can get quite slippy with sweat. Like you I hang mine from some rafters in my old worn out conservatory. I couldn't see how they were fixed so added some extra bolts....just in case!
 
IMO, wooden rings have by far the best feel. I've also used a number of plastic and metal rings. They were all usable, but personally I would not buy anything other than wood.
