How to hang a punching bag in the apartment

When a boy grows up in an apartment, one often has to think about his sporting education. Of course, everyone would like to have at their disposal a full-fledged complex of simulators, so that bad weather or other circumstances do not cause a breakdown in training. But in the living conditions of the city houses there is always not enough space for such purposes, so you can limit yourself to a punching bag or a boxing bag. For the safety of all the inhabitants of the apartment, this sports equipment is important to properly secure.

Boxing bag placement options

There are several options for placing punching bag in the apartment. Which one to choose will depend on the weight of the bag itself and the availability of free space in the room. Ideally, when there is a vestibule or in another way a waiting room that connects two apartments.Then you can fix a horizontal bar in it, and already hang a pear on it.

First you need to choose a suitable bag. Suitable for placement in an apartment weighing from 20 to 60 kg. Pears with a lot of weight and dimensions are too large, and the overlap of an ordinary house will not stand them. Therefore it is worth choosing equipment after all within 60 kg.

You can hang a pear:

• in the doorway;
• on the wall mount;
• on a horizontal bar or rack;
• attaching to the ceiling.

Consider the advantages of each of the four methods indicated in order to choose the best option for your apartment. After all, the safety of all the inhabitants of housing and the convenience of those involved in sports exercises will depend on a successful choice.

Placement of pears in the doorway

This method is easy to install, which is decisive for some. A sliding horizontal bar is installed in the doorway, a hook is hung on it. And only then the boxing bag is suspended.

This method has several significant drawbacks. The pear must be light weight, otherwise fixing the horizontal bar simply will not bear the weight of the product itself, not to mention the impact load.And the door frame should be either old-style, or very high quality wood. New-fashioned panels in this case, unreliable support.

But this option is not at all bad for setting up a small baby pear. And in this case, the parents will be calmer, since the classes of their children will be controlled from outside, because it will not be possible to close the room and bash the bag.

But for the suspension of pears of average weight and adult activities the option is not suitable. Even if it is possible to fix it securely, then with time under constant load the door frame will become unusable. And if an athlete does not live alone, then for those around his household such activities will bring some discomfort, because the doors to the room will be constantly open. Yes, and it will need to be removed after each workout.

Pear hanging on the wall

A special wall horizontal bar is sold in sports equipment stores, to which you can hang up a punch bag. Usually it is attached to the wall with four screws on dowels, but even they cannot ensure reliable placement of the pear.

This method is more acceptable for bags of small and medium weight.From the constant load, under the blows of the athlete, the horizontal bar will loosen and over time the dowels will not be able to hold the pear. The advantage of this method is the fact that the wall horizontal bar occupies unclaimed space in the room and the projectile does not have to be constantly removed.

It is possible to equip in the children's bedroom a sports wall with a horizontal bar, a ladder, gymnastic rings and a pear. Such a complex will contribute to the overall physical development of the child, as well as direct the irrepressible energy of the child in the right direction.

Rack mount

The horizontal bar with a support in a ceiling or a floor allows to suspend a pear of any weight reliably. This design is durable, but more often it needs to be made to order. The only disadvantage of this method of suspension are the overall dimensions of the rack.

In a small room, the supporting horizontal bar will take almost half of the living space, so the option is not very popular. Yes, and fool yourself with the manufacture of the rack, few people want. After all, it is necessary to find durable metal pipes and a person who will weld the construction.

Suspension of pears to the ceiling

For such an installation of a punch bag in the ceiling, a hole is punched using a perforator and an anchor bolt is driven into it, on which the hook will be attached. The pear is suspended on chains that usually come bundled with equipment. Additionally, you can drive a hook into the wall, so that after training the equipment can be moved to the side and free up space.

Each of the presented ways to install a pear in an apartment has its own characteristics that make it acceptable in specific conditions. But for those who wish to acquire such useful equipment, there is always an option.
