To anyone thinking about installing a punching bag I would like to offer some advice. I built a pretty strong truss for my bag that goes across from one beam to the other. After a year of weekly use the force of the bag on the beams is having some effect on the walls. I've noticed cracks in the drywall where the drywall meets the ceiling. I know it's from the shaking the bag causes when you hit it.
I'm going to redo it and have a free stand I'm building out of some old tubing from my Jeep roll cage.
