Sp4wn Turbocharged August 10, 2016 Share August 10, 2016 Lol the other pix darn funny. Thanks @sp4wn, how big is your balcony? When windy or when you whack too hard, will it impact your balcony windows? my balcony is L shaped. where i hang the bag, its about 1m wide. plenty of space still. so far even whack hard, it will just bounce off the wall. no windows nearby. this is the chinup bar i used: http://chinupbar.com.sg/ (you dont need this though, i am sure you can find the proper mounting if you want) installation was another $50 iirc basically, total cost to get the punching bag up and running: 1. chin up bar ( $75 for the bar + $50 for installation) 2. punching bag ($99) 3. boxing gloves ($60) 4. hand wraps ($10) <- this one very important ... (to avoid wrist injury. buy the 180" ones from here ) total: $294 still cheaper than joining those MMA gym...... although recently, i stopped doing because the cardio was causing me to lose weight. asking just a noob question ... is there a weight limit on the ceiling to hang this punching bag? Need professional engineer certification during the installation? not that i know of. the pull up bar is for up to 90-100kg .. so if you hang a 50lb bag, wont do much. just make sure if you drill your external wall, you dont damage any waterproofing membrane if you have. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustank Hypersonic August 10, 2016 Share August 10, 2016 this is the one i have. was originally my pull up bar for training, and then i checked with the installer, he said can support punching bag. installed on my balcony. only issue is (because im a light sleeper), if the wind is quite strong, i can hear the chains (i solved that by cutting up an old t shirt and stringing it between the chains.) it's 1.2m long and approx 30cm width. however, with this installation, you cant practise a lot of moves because you are blocked by the wall. but it is better than nothing. good for practising punches at least. bought from here: http://jmall.sg/96-punching-heavy-bags Whoa!!!
