I'm looking at buying a heavy bag for my garden. Il be taking it down and storing inside when it's not in use. I don't want to spent a billion quid on one but don't want to buy a cheap shitty one either. Any ideas of what I should go for?
personally i dont think it mattters in terms of what manafacture your buying. it's an object to practice combinations on, main criteria is you want something pretty heavy and somthing that wont break. my first bag weighed about 30kilos and after a while you start hitting it and it starts flying all around the room...which basicly makes the whole exercise useless. you can go old school and put sand into plastic bin bags then put them in a cheap leather punchbag. leather is the desired choice. it may give out and can cut but it allows you to really hit it. these ufc plastic bags basicly fold under your "power" becuase the plastic vinyl doesnt replicate a body at all. leather heavy
Hi , god iv not posted on here for about 2 years but anywho, i have a heavy bag outside that i take up and down and i bought a tko canvas bag 75lb. Couple things id do differently go leather and go for 100lber. To be honest mines fine for what i do but when i progress and get better im going to find it too light and be rebuying ( im already thinking its too light) Also the canvas has torn a couple times when iv caught it on things taking it down ect.
Excuse my ignorant, but where are you going to stick it up in your garden? I wouldn't mind some help while this is here either, I'm looking to get one but don't know what a good weight would be for a 16 year old. Got nowhere to put the damn thing though. Garden sounds like a good idea if there's anywhere to actually put it (or are we talking a free standing bag of some sort?)
I bought a boxing bag bracket , bolted it straight into the brick wall of my house and its been fine for almost 2 year now. Look into the strength of the wall first and also mines not had excessive use so take that into account (dont damge your fecking house )
Well I used to have a smaller bag that I wanted to hang in my garden, so I bought one of them wall brackets, hung her up, punched it once and the **** fell down. This time I'm going to make my own bracket's which il hang up. The brackets will support a scafold pole that will go across a really narrow part of my garden (roughly 4ft) il buy a heavy duty chain and d shackle and hang the ******* up like that. Well that's theplan anyway.
You can get a wall bracket pretty cheap, probably about a score. Fix to the wall will 8mm rawl bolts, they'll keep it sound enough so it wont fall.
