https://ift.tt/2qFrNJx is a repost, but my bag wasnt up in the ceiling yet. it is actually installed now, so i think it meets the requirements.Hello! I have a question.So, i hung the heavy bag from the ceiling only. Could, and would this be applicable, to have pipes coming from the wall and meeting at the very point of the punching bag for a little extra support? I would also be able to do pull-ups from the pipes, which would be nice.Here we go: So I hang the punching bag in the garage. I'm thinking of securing a 2x6 going my North wall and the same thing, another 2x6 attached my West Wall. I would use pipes attached to the boards and they would meet in the middle.Or should i just buy steel brackets instead of pipes? If i bought the steel brackets would it be better to use lag bolts or screws?Here are some of my thoughts and takes on it: I would like to know what would be the strongest, most secure, and most practical set up. I hope this thing would never collapse or start to weaken the integrity of my house. Im sure over time, that any type of vibrations will eventually have some sort of effect, but what would be the best?The boxing gym that i go to is in a small 4 car garage. (so actually, i guess its pretty big). We hang a lot of our heavy bags with 2x12 planks zipped in to the ceiling. Some are lag bolted in, and some are screwed in. We try to get 4' 2x12's and we secure it to at least 3 of the rafters. This balances it a lot more than just securing it to one joist, correct? If I were to attach my bag to 3 points of contact (Meaning, 3 joists in the ceiling, 3 studs on my north wall, and 3 studs on my west wall), Would that be considered overkill? All of the punching bags at the boxing gym have faired well, just secured to the ceiling alone. The whole building shakes everytime the bags are punched, and that is what i'm trying to avoid. via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2qI2tmi
