Porch platform
Thanks for the pics and the encouragement fellows. Yes I will take some pictures but it may be a few days as I have a lot of irons in the fire and I want to give it plenty of thought especially to getting the proper height and if it is possible to make it adjustable. One thing that I noticed from the pictures is that the bags appeared to be really high for the people using them. Is there a real need to adjust the bag height when using a larger i.e. longer bag?

Porch setup
Hi Nick
Welcome to the forum. Always glad to meet new speed bag enthusiasts.
Here are a few links to bags hung under a landing

Obviously the landing here is lower than 9 feet, so you will have to figure out how to lower your board surface down. You may elect to do this with 4x4 studs or 2x6. I have not done this myself, so I can't exactly tell you how. But I would suggest you find the center of your board and attache the swivel, or at least drill the holes. It will be harder once the board is attached.
The rebound board does not have to be any particular shape. The bag will form it's own circle.
The idea to work the speed bag and "move around it" while punching is actually part of it's history. It only when on a wall (with one half of its footwork area removed..) when boxing training centers went more indoors, and gyms got smaller etc. Many old time boxing facilitites had various training rings with bags hung in the so the boxer could move all around it.
Good luck on your construction. I'd like to see a picture/video of it when your done and got it working.

Platform on the porch
Hi everyone,
I'm new to working with the speedbag but am enjoying it a lot since we got one mounted on the wall in the gym I belong to. It has been so much fun that I have been thinking of mounting one at the house. I don't have a convenient spot to mount one on the wall. So I have been thinking that I would like to suspend a platform from the beams on my back porch, which is of heavy wood construction. And I like the ability to be able to move around the bag as I'm hitting it. Does anyone have any experience that they could share with me about things to consider when doing this, or better yet pictures of an installation? The height of the beam is about 9 feet.
Thanks,
NickTags: None
