Heavy bag problem

OR!!!!!!

You can set up you own custom chain hook up from the attachments on the bag and tape the chains already attached to the top of the bag so they dont annoy you.

Do the math for the length of chain u need, go to your hardware store and buy 4 links of chain & some "S" hooks and set it up like how i drew in my diagram i drew earlier.

So pretty much what the bag has now, just make everything shorter

if anything else my neighbor is a carpenter so i can ask him to come over...

bingo...this is the best thing u have said yet....explain your problem and he can set it up real fast for you or at least tell you what parts you need to get

I was thinking of what Darizzle just said. Just get some heavy bolt cutters and snap off the S-links that attach to the loops on the bag, then shorten the chains as much as you can and replace the S-links with whatever you have, like some thin but strong carabiners. You don't have to cut the chains, just use a mid-way link to attach to the bag loops and tie back the excess with a ziptie or a piece of tape.

Your idea of laying the chains over a pipe or piece of wood will make the bag hang on a tilt.

how about this idea...

i have another heavy bag... well its only 40 lbs so its really not a heavy bag lol.. but anyway it came with the type of chain that rizzle was talkin about. could i just hook that onto the new bag and hang it... do you think it would hold? or do they sell chains for heavy bags? i could just go buy one that would be the rizzle style and able to hol dthat much weight.

Just get the carpenter to come over, he should have a decent grasp on things to figure out an easy solution.

Wow actually this isn't that hard if you don't want it to be.

You have your 4 chains with s-links attached.

1. Bend the 4 S-links open on the side where the chain attaches.
2. Re-attach the 4 S-links to the chain, but like 5 links further down each chain.
3. If this height works, you can bend them back shut, but don't do it until you have it working at a proper height.

This is assuming that you can bend the S-links.
