Suggestions for hanging a heavy bag

[Youngblood]

Yea I wouldn't do the simple 2x4 route. And look at as much support and as many screws as you can get in. I've hung mine repeatedly from the ceiling joists (sp?) and keep knocking that thing off. It pulls the wood out in chunks. Looks badass and all when it happens haha, but mainly it isn't a strong hold. I suppose I could have gotten deeper setting screws but I don't actually use it much.

What if you guys drilled a hole through the higher part of a beam, joist ,bearer whatever your country calls it and drop a solid metal rod through the beam itself and hang it off that, even span two beams with a metal rod, buy it from a scrap yard thats never coming loose.

Or are you mounting a swivel device as well?
We've even wrapped 1/4 inch fenceing wire around the whole beam a few times and tied one into the bottom of the loops, fuk screws they are not going to cut it. Rope right around the beam even. Use a large U screw bolt to connect the chains to the rope or the chains to the wire. Going up through a beam vetrically I would car bog an expanding bolt into a hole, tighten as much as possible, you can even get them with large metal circles welded to the nut that opens the claws on the bolt.
