advice for hanging heavy boxing bag

[johnp123]

Hello,

I'm wanting to mount a heavy boxing back to a brick wall out the back.

Details:

The bag and bracket combo weight roughly 60 -70kg

House is double brick.

I intend to use 80x75m masonry screws chemically anchored in with dewalt gp50.

Just wanting a second opinion, any advice would be great. Thanks.

Hi  @johnp123 

Well you got the gear to do the wall mounting.

Thats a  heavy  bag and I am sure you arnt going to attack it with a  feather  duster so.

I give the wall mounts  two weeks before they loosen off I might be surprised here.

Just in  case  Plan B  open your roof tiles screw in a big lump of timber fitting snug between your roof  rafters  both sides sitting flat on the villaboard out near the guttering.

The  idea is to put in a  big eye bolt through the villaboard through the  middle of the timber  and  your bag  can be suspended  by  chain.

Have fun   hope  plan A  works.

Hi @johnp123,

A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community and thank you for your question.

Boxing bag mounts like this will usually have a recommended method of installation. If you can locate a brand or model number on the bracket, this may point you in the right direction.

If you can't track down the manufacturer's recommendations and want really definitive answers, unfortunately, you'd need to speak with an engineer.

I can't say with 100% certainty that it will be a perfect solution, but using a chemical anchor alongside a large mechanical anchor certainly seems like a good way to go.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
