Mounting A Heavy Bag in my Garage Workshop! Everlast Vintage Heavy Bag

- I like boxing. I need to exercise more. I always wanted to have a heavy bag and now I have one. No more excuses! In this video, I unbox the Everlast 100 lb Vintage Heavy Bag Kit. There are links here in the description and those also include the hardware I used to mount it to the wall. In my journey to turn my garage into a workshop for any type of DIY, Woodworking and other projects, I wanted to have a space to workout. So this is, in my opinion, the perfect solution! I also used 3/4" plywood to mount it to the wall.

I think a video of you working that bag would go viral!! LOL
No sir. Well maybe it would, but everyone would be making fun of my lack of knowledge and experience 😂
Lmboooooooooo I totally agree it would go viral but not in a positive way. Let’s give this guy a break😅😅😅
have you found that it feels too low? I’m considering hanging mine the same way beneath a garage door rail, but i think at a minimum you want the top of the bag to be eye level, if not quite a bit higher?
Hi Kurt, yeah I agree. I am 6’1” and it is definitely too low for me. I have not done it yet but I will probably move it to a different part of the way in my garage.
I want to install same one , my only concern is the wall 🧱 is brick not concrete, 40kg bag .i dont want to ruin the wall with cracks or anything, and i dont want the mount to fail from hitting vibration
That’s a good point. I can’t really answer that but would suggest doing some research on UA-cam of people who explain how to anchor things like that in brick. You may be able to but I’m not really sure.
Lol I found this very comical because of your facial Expressions. I like that you were aware of your mistakes but corrected them. Thanks for the video!
Thanks, KD. Honestly, I think I should have used some heavier boards, instead of plywood but yeah, I usually learn as I go. Trying to live up to my channel name 😂
@@UseWhatchaGot I’m literally filling up my bag right now. Haven’t gotten to the hanging part yet but I’ll revisit your page when it’s time for that.
What is the beeping tool called? How did you find the right spot on the wall?
Hi Asher, it is a stud finder so I’m trying to find the studs in the wall so that I can drive the 4 inch nails into them.
Any issues so far since you’ve installed this? I’m planning on doing your way since I have no access to the beams on my ceiling
So I have actually taken it down and do not use it anymore. But this was due to the fact that I have wood above it on shelves, the garage door track was too low so the bag is wasn't high enough for me, and the wall itself was not very strong. All things that only really effect me.
I would say if those were not factors, it would have been great! I would suggest to get larger, thicker pieces of maybe 2x6 or 2x8 pieces of wood, and not use plywood. It will be much stronger. But if you can screw those into your studs with 4" screws, then screw your bag hanger into the wood, it is solid! Shouldn't have any issues.
Thanks for this video!
No problem, Jack. I hope it was helpful.
how do you make sure your screw holes are completely straight? I failed completely on my first attempt into my concrete wall in my room
That is tough. You could make a wood template for your drill bit to go through, you could keep a speed square against your wall and drill. This could be an option and would definitely help keep it straight - amzn.to/3EJk9nN
@@UseWhatchaGot thank you so much for the quick response, this is very helpful
Is this into brick? Im trying to put into brick today and looks like i beed wall plugs? Did you just screw straight into the wall? Cheers°
Mat, thanks for the question! I was able to shoot the screws right into studs, but if you are mounting yours in brick, I think you may need wedge anchors. They need to be pretty beefy and heavy duty. Check out this link - www.homedepot.com/c/ab/types-of-masonry-and-concrete-anchors/9ba683603be9fa5395fab905fbe9e2f hope that helps!!
What may be easier and more sturdy is get some like 2x6s, cut them similar to what I did with the wood backing, then once you have that wood mounted on the wall, then screw your heavy bag mount into that wood.
at 4:39 - Are you drilling the mount into the wall studs? I wasn't sure
I was not, the weight was being held up by the plywood - So I put 4” screws through the plywood into the studs, then put the lag bolts through the mount into the plywood. I think the works well, but I would suggest not using plywood. I would suggest a heavier duty board like this - www.homedepot.com/p/WeatherShield-2-in-x-6-in-x-12-ft-2-Prime-Pressure-Treated-Ground-Contact-Southern-Pine-Lumber-2331255/206889270
My other issue was that I put it on a wall that was under the garage door track, as well as I have a ton of lumber hanging on racks right over that. Both were bad ideas. The whole wall flexed when I would hit the bag and I thought the wood would fall right off the well. And on top of that, the bag was too low.
Did you use any screw anchors?
Hi James, I put fairly heavy duty 4 inch screws through the plywood directly into my studs. Then I use the lag bolts that came with the hanger to screw into the plywood. So no, I did not use any anchors. My only suggestion would be to not use plywood and buy, a 2 x 10 or something like that. That extra thickness will really help support the bag.
@@UseWhatchaGot the actual mount is just screwed into the plywood? Not studs behind the wall?
Yes sir. It was ok, but the whole wall moved when I hit the bag, so I moved it. There is also a ton of wood on that wall, so that was just a bad place and because of the garage door railing, it was too short. But definitely try and get it into studs if you can. I think tho, if you put the lag bolts into 1 1/2 - 2” wood, you’ll be ok.
@@UseWhatchaGot should I use lag screws for the mount and for the 2x4? Or use wood screws for putting the 2x4 in the wall
@jameswhite249 I would get lag bolts, if i did it again. Last thing you want is for it to fall down. But I happen to have 4” screws on hand, so I used those for the plywood.
Why the wood planks when going into the studs?
You definitely need something more sturdy, even more so than even plywood. I think by putting several screws into your studs, then a few into the wood holding the bag up, distributes the weight better
beeping sound tool what is that ?
That is a stud finder.
What size screws did you use to mount the wood to the wall?
Hi Tony, I think I may have used 3” screws, but I would suggest going a little more beefy with some 4”. Also, I would not suggest using plywood. Get some 1 or 2 by material for some extra strength.
What camera do you have ?
Panasonic GH5, and I use my iPhone 13 Pro on occasion. 👍🏻
Seen it’s been a year and a half since you posted this. How well does it hold up?
It was holding up great! I had to end up selling it but I did not have any issues. Only suggestion I would have is to use solid pieces of wood (2x8 or 2x10) and not plywood.
Did the wood fail??
@@2002chow Eh, I had to sell the bag :-( but it held up for a while. I would definitely suggest NOT using plywood though. Get some big boards like 1x6/8/or 10.
👍
You will be punching / jabbing the top of the bag
It's too low for your hight
The bottom of the bag should actually be at your waist. 🫥
