I would like to hang my new heavy bag onto a brick wall. I have no idea how to do it. Do I need special masonry screws? Should I drill the screws right into the brick or should I make the hole bigg and cement the screws into the holes. Help.

I wanted the ability to move my bag out of the way and so Ive mounted a barn door track to a 2×6 which spans across 4 beams, and drilled holes for coder pins to keep the bag in place when using it. Havent done anything about the noise/vibrations, but Im thinking lining the beamside of the 2×6 with rubber will work great.

a good way to reduce noise and vibration is to buy special insulated chains and replace them they are plastic coated and really help with noise and vibes

Great post which should be a must read for all online advertisements for Heavy Bags. I was going to wall mount a heavy bag to wall studs but after reading your article I’m going to have to reconsider my options. Thanks again!

Seve, I am definately changing the chains that connect the bag to the spring for some tubes. I’ll have to come up with a trick to attach them. I’m thinking of attaching a carabiner to the the spring and folding the inner tubes twice so that the bag will hang closely under the spring. I hope this works because my neighbors commented on me “playing basketball” in my living room.

The cheapest option is to suspend your boxing bag with a number of bicycle or motorcycle inner tubes(new or good used ones are also OK and usually being thrown out by most stores),reduces vibration considerably and gives a similar feel to hitting a person ,I have done it for kick boxing bags also.

I seen that type of holder. The problem with that is that it mounts to the bottom of the beam and if you don’t have high ceilings in the basement the bag is too low.

I had a clamp like that too and I was hitting the top six inches of the bag.

The nice thing about them though is there is no vibration.

Sounds great! The rubber bushing and the spring makes a big difference when it comes to excessive heavybag noise. I wish I had a steel beam in my house! Amazon sells a heavybag mount that fits on steel I-beams: Steel I-Beam Heavy Bag Hanger .
