heavy-duty wallmount hanger

[riqal]

I was thinking about getting the deluxe heavy duty wallmount hanger from title because I want to hang a heavy bag in my garage. But I am skeptical about the claim that it can hold a bag up to 200 lbs. I was just gonna hang an 80 lb foam and water bag from it. Does anyone have one of these units? Does it work well? Can anyone with some construction knowledge tell me if it is feasible to hang an 80 lb bag from a unit that is attached to wall studs? I don't want to hang it only to have it all come crashing down. My wife nags enough as it is, and I don't want to give her something else to nag about.

I'm a welder and yes if the hanger has supports it can hold 100+ lbs, make sure it is secured very well to the wall you are using it on. If you have a open stud wall that is easy, put heavy duty boards at the level of the connection and use bolts with nuts and washers if you have to connect it directly to the studs use heavy duty lag bolts 3" long at least 1/4" diameter but bigger is better to about 3/8" larger than that would be overkill. Hope this helps

Is this the hanger you want to buy?

If so if you secure it right, it will be fine for a 80lb heavy bag...Good luck

Yes, Toolboxdiver, that is the unit. You have been helpful and thx for ur quick reply. I have sheetrock covering my wallstuds, so I will use ther 3"lags directly into the studs. Thx again!

Have you thought about hanging from the joists?

I can give details if you would like. Attached is what it looks like. I plan on painting it white.

I would also brace the beams to the beam on each side of the one you are using. You can use 2 X 4's or 2 X 6's that will make it solid from the swinging of the bag. Hope this helps

I'm worried that those lag screws will not be long enough. I'm sure it will hang fine; however, I think the swaying will weaken the two screws.

I may have gone over board with my rig; however, I know the thing will not come crashing down on me.

Your joist should handle 80lb. I hung a 100lb in my garage. I have 2x10 joists that are spaced every 12 inches. I have two 1\2x7 lag screws going into 3 joists. I did not want all the weight on just 1 joist.

The reason I have an extra piece of wood is because the eye bolt is 1\2x8. The threads for the nut did not go all the way down. The wood is there because the eye bolt would have just flopped around. I have several washers and nuts secured.

I also bought a heavy-duty spring from ringside. I'm sure this has taken the tension off the eye bolt.

Hope this helps.

So I'll just use longer screws. This should take care of the problem, right? I plan on hanging no more than 70lbs, and I will be using the heavy-duty spring.
