How to Hang a Heavy Bag (Punching bag)

[@geraldbuda8257]

Thank you for this demonstration , finally a video that explains how and why to hang a bag properly. You have given the internet what it needed

[@UlisesRodriguez-b3p]

I just ordered my fairtex banana bag. Can’t wait to hang it. Thanks for this video.

[@DrDavidL]

Have fun!

[@mikerod01]

Shouts out to this guy for a well demonstrated process! Looks like it could easily hold about 5 of those bags. Thanks

[@francisco4064]

You’re doing the work of the lord. Thank you very much

[@DrDavidL]

Ummmm. No!

[@p2pfreak]

Very strong, straight forward and clean appearance. Thanks for the posting

[@jman4250]

Best video I've seen yet for hanging a heavy bag.👍

[@williamcuthbertson4903]

Thanks bro! Finally get my bag hung up.

[@rustyshackleford6341]

"Hot as balls up hera!" Lol. I know what you mean man.

[@jonbmx22]

Great video, actually showing what to do.

[@hobbygarage89]

That is the answer tha k you very much well for storage rather than having a sta d taking up a corner all the time good video buddy

[@julianc4354]

Thanks for the video. I want to mount my bag in my garage as well but my master bedroom is directly about my garage. I'm guessing I need to get a 2x4 and secure it to the trusses where it will be visible right?

[@davidgomez9674]

Awesome explanation! Gonna get this done this weekend.

[@notoriousone8863]

Hello the size of the drill bit is it the same size as the eye bolt? Or do you go one size down and try and twist it in there???

[@A-bone]

What’s the spring called that u got from amazon?

[@keithkeithkeith9874]

Why use multiple washers inside the attic? Great video but I would use a lock nut so the nut would not vibrate loose and permenit locktight.

[@ANTHONY31077]

Thanks for a great video.... Saved me a lot of research time.

[@juanarteaga4830]

I looked in my attic above my garage and I don’t have 2x4s up there it looks like I have 2x12s not sure how I do this same method in my garage. Any suggestions ? 😩

[@chris-303]

How has it held up so far? I have a 100lb heavy bag I'm going to mount soon but as a new homeowner I'm a little hesitant to mount it to the ceiling. This does look like the best way and is similar to what I had in mind

[@Chris-29]

U must be like my other me because I have the same exact question I just bought a 100lb bag I'm a new homeowner myself but like u I'm hesitant aswell of fear of bringing down the ceiling. And not to mention my name is Chris aswell lol

[@gfxbqwq]

Very good excellent

[@jstChase]

So, I previously had a 100lb heavy bag hung on our ceiling with just a 2x4 screwed to 2 separate joists with the heavy bag hanging from the center of it, and it shook our whole house. 😂 If I do it this way, will it stop that from happening?

[@jstChase]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6OkhGhui8Rnl6ssi=TK7KkAqruigom1ou This is how I did it originally. Shook the whole house. 😂 Also, disclaimer, that's not me in the video.

[@johnslack2479]

How has this been holding up ?

[@DrDavidL]

John Slack holding up well.

[@stevehunt7087]

Great video!

[@khalidr9919]

How can I prevent my heavy bag from swinging easily?

[@DrDavidL]

You can buy a bag that has a ring on the bottom and anchor it. I could have had one put on the bottom of my Outslayer bag (they offer this free of charge if you buy one of their bags). I think that if your heavy bag is light then it will tend to swing a lot. My bag weights 120 pounds and it doesn't move much at all. I used to have a lighter bag that swung all over the place. Also - I think the spring make a big difference.

[@khalidr9919]

DrDavidL thanks

[@joeyp4196]

I just bought a 70lbs bag. Do u suggest doing all this for this bag? I was just planning on going into the joist.

[@DrDavidL]

It works well.

[@getrightorgetleft]

Do you still use this setup? If yes, Does this setup make shaking (roof) noise when punching the bag?

[@DrDavidL]

I used it for along time without any issues. I sold that house and moved so I don’t use it anymore. The new owner purchased the bag from me because he wanted it. It just added value to the house!

[@Zimze08]

Would this hold up my 200 lbs bag?

[@DrDavidL]

Of course. My brother weighs >200 pounds and he hung on the bag after it was up.

[@rexzz2438]

Is your ceiling drywall

[@DrDavidL]

It was

[@adammeade2300]

Spectacular!

[@slackerzsincity6947]

How heavy is that bag

[@DrDavidL]

Rift Salty yes.... I think it is 130.

[@Stangtabulous]

Video in landscape instead.

[@DrDavidL]

Stangtabulous I will get right on that! Lmao

[@baileybrooke114]

we wanna see you hit it

[@adhaman1]

all i wanted is a video to show me how to hung a heavy bag not to build a fking house .

[@adhaman1]

Did u just read my comment now cuz it took u 4 years to hang the bag?

[@coleoshtamebaghe3606]

would definitely use screws over nails.

[@DrDavidL]

Screws snap and break.... nails bend.. Nails are much better... that’s one of the reasons houses are mostly made with nails and not screws.

[@coleoshtamebaghe3606]

@@DrDavidL Depends on the type of screw. nails are cheap and also wiggle out easily.

[@brandona.deimel5155]

@@coleoshtamebaghe3606 Guess our houses are gonna fall down with those cheap nails.

[@coleoshtamebaghe3606]

@@brandona.deimel5155 Don't think a nail holding a 2 by four to another piece of wood and a screw holding a punching bag are under the same forces. I installed ones with screws. My kids best the crap out of it, and it's holding up fine. Each to their own.

[@DrDavidL]

I don't agree - Nails are sturdy, bend, and don't break easily. That's why houses are made out of nails and not screws. @@coleoshtamebaghe3606

[@MotivatedResults]

How's this holding up?

[@DrDavidL]

Perfect
