It's alright, i found various sizes of such cords in ebay.. thanks
I suppose i should use a size cord that is a bit streched as it attaches to the (still) bag??
Or maybe it is better that it is almost loose when it attached to a (still) bag?
What is the norm?Last edited by Pegasos; 04-18-2008, 03:10 PM.

I m thinking that thank God i didn't use screws to anchor it to the wooden floor, it would have ripped it apart!
A couple tips for you if you're up for 'em:
1. That's a beautiful floor (knotty pine?) and I would protect it at all costs. To do so, you might consider putting a soft rubber mat of some kind underneath the sand bag - perhaps a shower mat or a yoga mat or what ever you can dig up. It would protect the floor and reduce the anchor weight sliding.
2. As mentioned above, you'll want to swap out that bottom chain with one or more bungee chords or similar. I agree with the above comments by toolboxdiver and Kyle. You can also use a spring on either chain. Consider using more weight on the bottom if needed.
Good luck,
