I need some advice on hanging something heavy THANKS!
So I am hanging a 40 pound punching bag no biggie.

I bought this wall anchor thingy for it.

Problem is I need it to be drilled into studs cause of the weight factor.

I have studs in the wall but they are like 12 inches apart. Vertically speaking. There are no horizontal beams.

My hanging mount thingy is only about 6 inches across tho.

Meaning I can get one screw drilled into a beam however the other part will only stretch to the drywall part. Which will not mount it properly cause it just falls out of the wall on the drywall part with that particular screw.

So what I was thinking.... is to go to home depot and have a piece of 2x4 cut to about 14 inches.

Then I was going to use that and hammer it into the wall so as to connect both beams and then from there mount a drill my holes into the 2x4 to get more hanging power if you will.

Will that work?

If not... could someone who knows about this kind of thing please pass along any tips or suggestions to me?

I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks and have a great day!

In a word...yep!

Just to make sure, you mean you are going to use the 2x4 as a crossbeam between the 2 studs already in the wall and use that to mount the bag, right? If so, you are good to go.

I thought it might!

I figured I'm just putting a beam on the outside of the wall instead of it being on the inside of the wall.

Thank you very much!

That will work brilliantly, no problem!

You can also get brackets that are specifically designed to span studs (which should actually be 16" center to center) that will do the same thing with slightly more accuracy, but the cost would be more, though the aesthetic is a bit nicer.

But you're definitely on the correct path.

Yes. My bag did not come with a mount.. so I did a little research before I got the mount I purchased.

However lol.. I didn't know I had far apart beams in the wall.

I always thought that there were vertical and horizontal beams in a wall structure.

Opps!

But it is a good mount for bags that are going to be kicked.

And it is definitely going to be kicked!

It's really the same thing, perhaps just a little more appealing from an appearance perspective.

You could really use anything so long as the material you are using is strong enough to hold it's shape and strength but the wood stud is the way it's done (internally) when builders want to mount things like light fixtures, cabinets, etc., the only difference is those are inside the sheet rock, yours will be outside...same thing as far as structural strength.

Just a quick thought since it's a punching bad and depending on the mounting bracket for it.

You may want to put in two cross members, again if the mounting bracket for the bag will allow it. This is due to the side to side action you will be putting on the anchor, etc. Either way, you should be fine.

Where did you manage to find a 40 pound libtard?

They are usuallt like...300 pounds or more.

Unless you kept it in the basement till it thinned up a bit.

Btw...hang it by the ears...more fun that way.

The wall 2x4's have two nails, top and bottom , connecting them to the rest of the wall, plus the sheetrock screws. There are probably trusses in your ceiling, giving better strength. Here is an ebay link for some ceiling swivel mounts. You can adjust the height of the bag with the length of chain that you hang it by. I wouldn't hang it in the center of the room, but within 5 ft or so of the walls.

You'll need the same type cross member for the lower brace as well.

You might use 3" screws to mount the 2x4's onto the
studs ( rather than nails).
