1. Are you mounting your heavy bag on the ceiling or the wall?
Assuming that your home has been built
with an average level of quality and materials. When mounting to any structure
like your home... it is advisable to know what you are mounting to. Example
steel or wood studs.
2. Is the structure finished with sheet
rock, gypsum, 70's paneling or dry wall?
If yes, you will need a stud finder stat.
If no, you have an array of heavy bag
hanger options that us folks with finished walls do not have.
3. Thoughts on single beam suspension.
I do not recommend suspending a heavy bag
from a single stud, rafter or joist.
Reason: all of the structural stress is
put on that single point. Vibration will take its toll on that single
supporting member over time and could cause problems down the road. Not to
mention the noise level from your roundhouse will have your family seeking
shelter OUTDOORS.
4. Now that we agree on dual beam
suspension...
You can safely hang a punching bag that
weighs more than 40 pounds. lol
5. Setting the optimum heavy bag height to
reduce noise and vibration.
You will be able to minimize the noise and
vibration by setting your bag to the proper height. Here is a link that will
take you to a power point slide that I put together. Follow the link to set the
optimum height for your situation. P.S. don't laugh at my bedhead
I hope you found this helpful. I'd like to
