I am looking for some input from you guys out there that have had some exp with the heavy bag. I am looking at ordering a 150lb water heavy bag from Ringside. I will be using it in my garage. My garage is just a one car setup with an exposed ceiling joists. I would estimate its 15 - 20ft high if I was to hang it from the ceiling.
I was considering buying one of teh metal wall mounts that they sell over at Title but I am cheap and have lumber and tools laying around the house.
Two questions...
1. Will hanging the bag with a whole lot of extra chain (to reach to the ceiling) cause any problems for me?
2. Those metal wall hangars for 16" on center studs don't appear super stocky or rugged. Do you think a few 6x6's mounted into a couple of 1x12's would do the trick? Has anyone built there own wall mounts out of some sturdy beams?
This is what I was having in mind. I have the materials... so it will cost me zilch.
Think this will work?
