Everlast platform

[The Baggist]

We have made a deal. If I decorate the bedroom, I can install a set-up in there too. Man that's gonna cost me, she's talking about re plastering.

So here's the new set-up.

It's hitting with a lot less vibration and yes I'm still waiting for the new bag. I enjoy having it outdoors especially in the summer. Thing is, our winters here in the UK are long, cold and often wet and there's nothing worse than planning to have a good old hit but, can't due to rain. Sometimes I have to go weeks without a single session.

Thanks Baggist.

Is there room to set up a pop up canopy? They only take a few minutes to set up so you don't have to leave it up all the time.

Hello Duthman,

What's a pop up canopy?

Can you screw in a little plastic, or canvas, slightly angled awning type thing?
Maybe the canvas kind that rolls up? Man, that's all it would take. And it woudl be great to see a clip of you punch drummin' to "Baggin' In The Rain"!!!!
Your outdoor setup is great!
BAG ON!

Hello Duthman,

What's a pop up canopy?

In a nutshell it's a tent without sides, and uses a folding frame for support.
This is an example http://www.walmart.com/Quik-Shade-In...opy/ip/4321120

Hey Dutchman, I did not see your prior post about the canopy. That's a good idea. What do you think of the awning idea, so there is nothing around you underneath cluttering up the area?
BAG ON THE GOOD FOOT!

[Dutchman]

It may be a better idea, depending upon what kind of footprint he has to deal with, not to mention it's more than likely less expensive.

Sounds like a great song for the "godfather of the bag.."

Baggin' on the good foot...

Sorted I think! I'm going to use a sheet of plastic screwed to the wall that'll roll out when I need to cover it up. Thanks for the ideas guys!

SSP, I like the idea of 'Baggin In The Rain' Thanks for that!

I took delivery of my new Everlast bag today, thing is, it's a 9x6 rather than the 8x5. Sugar Rays got it wrong! Oh well, it's still a nice bag and a little faster than the Rival 9x6. I'll make a video this weekend.

Hello Mike,

I don't know what you would use to mount the platform onto a wood wall. Maybe someone else will come along and help you with that.

The platform it's self is superb, especially at such a low price. With a little weight on top, it's solid too.

Hey Mike, welcome to the forum. Love that moniker. I have the exact board mounted to a studded wall in my garage. I'll post up a pic when I get home.

I have two 2 x 4s bolted to the studs, and then attached the platform to the 2 x 4s. If I remember correctly, the only hardware you will need are 4 lag bolts to screw into the 2 x 4s.

[Lefthook_mike]

So you bought two additional 2x4s?

my wife is worried about it damaging our wall which is why I'm asking tons of questions

Thanks for welcoming me to the forums nd helping me. Keep baggin'!
