How to Hang a Muay Thai Heavy bag to your ceiling

Shows how we hung my 150 # thai banana bag in my house with normal crappy 2x4" construction and the boards are 24" apart.
My garage has a finished ceiling and basic 2x4 construction and the 2x4's are 24" apart. We had to reinforce the location where we would be mounting the bag so that we didn't screw the house up.

We used two sections of 4x4" mounted in between two "rafters" (mounted using the metal 4x4 frame mounting things from home depot), Then we drilled a hole in the center of a 4x4, mounted a 1/2"diameter (about 12" long) eye bolt with a nylock nut and big washers to the 4x4. Then we nailed in a 2x6" across the top of the 4x4's for more support.

Finally we nailed in two, 2x4's going from the horizontal "rafters" or "cords" to the diagonal cords. These are shown in the video as the two 2x4's going straight up.

We used a 300# spring to mount the bag to the eye bolt. It is one of those outdoor sitting swings springs.

It all seems pretty secure and it has held up over the past several weeks of abuse. My fiance does say she can hear some noise in the kitchen but that is it.

the bag weighs 165 pounds and i use it 3x per week for a year without problems. we got the spring from a hardware store. the straps attach to d rings which attach to a big caribener type clip then the spring.

the bag says proboxingequpiment.com

Just want to say thanks for the detailed video. I just set up two of these mounts in my garage yesterday. I was wondering what type of washer you used directly above the eye. Looks like a black rubber washer. Thanks

@xeqshunner that is just a regular washer, nothing special. thanks.

As long as you keep to pushing the bag instead of hitting it you can keep it on the ceiling...otherwise...Bad for the house!!! (spring helps a bit though=cheaper repairs)

@SeregaXAPbKOB I had in hanging in there for a year with 2-3 times per week of use and it never caused any damage to anything. I moved from that house otherwise it would still be hanging in the same spot.

Where did u buy the spring? I can't find it anywhere.

[trelken]

@salsanz13 from a hardware store. ace hardware or similar should have it.  maybe even lowe's or home depot. Title boxing also sells similar springs.

@sk4r0ks That is where my wife keeps my balls.
