Thread: Build a heavy bag stand

I have a heavy bag that weighs70 pounds and want to make a stand in my backyard any help will be appreciated.

Google.

I did, I couldn't really fine anything.

buy 1, i cant think of any possibly way unless you can weld!

My Pops can weld.

Okay, I did a search and I found this: Homemade Heavy Bag Stand - MartialTalk.Com


Set in concrete.

Got a tree in your yard? A roof with an overhang?

That's where I would start.

nah we don't have trees in our backyards where i live and i can't hang it to my roof because my house isn't very big so my moms would go ballistic if she had to see the bag hanging every day

this is great thanks man

Use scaffolding - it all joins together with big allen key clips and is easy to take down and put up. I built one like that for my brother (haNDILY, i WORKED ON A CONSTRUCTION SITE AT THE TIME)

Get a piece of gal pipe about 4 inches in diameter by 2 feet 1/2 in length and let it into the ground just below ground level with concrete all around it down lower. Just dig the hole one shovel wide the wholeway down so you only need one large bag of pre mixed.
Get another length of tubing that slots into the inside of the first pipe;get one about ten feet long. (yeah,like a give way sign pole)
Get it bent over on the top so you can hang your bag on it when ever you like and take the whole lot away when ever you like too.Just tie a cover around it or take it inside when not in use. You can just lift the whole thing out of the ground if you ever move and all you have to do is get another short length and a bag of quick set and your away again at the next place. Drill a hole through the end of the long upside down L shaped one and put a bolt through it so you can put a hook on it for your O on the chains then you jiust lift it on and off.You may need to drill through the base of them both and put a bolt in it to stop it twisting but thats all. It twisting around can be ok and good pracitice for shifting targets.

I have had my heavy bag up in to many places, from the roof, under the bobcat, car hoist, basically anywhere, a hook from the wall. that's just the heavy bag, then i got two speed balls, on the other side of the garage, on a wall, i had it all over the place too. same goes with the double ended bag, so i got so sick of having things so far away from each other so i bought a stand, for around 3200 Swedish kr, which is quite a lot and it was shit, the speed ball platform was loose, even if i welded it the whole stand made it shake. and the stand moved from the heavy bag basically, 100 lb bag

it broke down and i didn't get my money back so i built one myself the other day.

Quite big pictures, Just so you guys can confirm the welding

Here's some more picture of it! great project was good and will be useful!
