Hi All

Any ideas how to put up a punch bag....... Am in a new build, (renting) so no chance of putting it against the wall (inside or out) or ceiling.......

Thought of putting it up outside, but any ideas how? The appliances you get seem expensive and they seem to trip you up all over the place... Anyone had any use of one and found them good????

Thought of a 2 by 4 against fence ............. But some advice would be helpful................ I am sure some of you have to of used them at some point or have them at home!!!

So bored:grumble: and I know if my punch bag was up I would be making good use of it, have had it over 2 years now... Any ideas please..........:flowerforyou:

    You could get a Y rack. I don't know how much they are, but I've seen them at the gym I used to train at and I know Sports Authority sells them. Other than that, you could use a car port beam if you have that available.

    I plan to hang mine in the basement once we move. I miss my heavy bag.

    Thank you for all your comments, sooooooo much!!

    The post you sent toriann, is not what I am looking for, as it has things I will trip over... I need to kick it and move around it... With those things sticking up I will end up on my a** xx but thank you for taking the time to post..

    tig_o thank you, will google it and look ......... xx

    Yes I have two trees mikey, but sadly there is no way I could get it attached............ Have looked into that.......

    Thanks again. xxxxx Something will come up, it has been used by my youngest as a rocket for the last few years... xx

    Second the Craigslist recommendation! I've seen TONS of punching equipment in a few different cities for almost nothing.
