Is the only option for hanging this bag is from the rafters? Will a stand for a heavy bag be too low for this bag?

We hung it by the wall, but it makes our whole garage wall shake. I thought of tethering it to the ground somehow, but nothing bad has happened and we beat the heck out of it.

The bag is about 6' tall. I wouldn't think you would have enough height w a heavy bag stand since you need to include the hook, chain, and spring coil used to hang it

depends on the stand. i've been to a lot of studios that have them on stands but they're professional stands that have a lot of clearance and this works fine. i've also seen 6 ft bags hung from cheapy consumer sporting goods store stands and imo this is unideal. banana bags and heavy bags in general are meant to move around a bit to mimic the motion of an opponent and it's always nice to be able to motion around the bag 360º in order to get the most out of your training.

the bag is a full 6 feet plus the chain so It needs at least 8 to 9 feet to hang it. a stand just wont work with this bag.

...depending upon your training intervals and approach will determine how high the bag should be suspended.You would not need to suspend it from the rafters which are typically @ 96", what you will need to remember is the amount of sway and force of the bag as it is worked, a bag stand may not provide the space or support for this. I would say try it on your stand and adapt as you need to.

I used the Everlast Wood Beam Heavy Bag Hanger. It is hanging from a wooden crossbeam in the basement. So far so good too. You do have to make sure you get the screws as close to the middle of the beam as possible though so as not to break the wood.Everlast Wood Beam Heavy Bag Hanger

Yes, it will stand on it's own as long as it has enough tools in the bag to keep the bottom squared and weighted down. It is more designed to hang from a tool belt, but I use mine for a stand alone bag.

Yes. There is a hook. Do not know how much weight it can hold but could easily hold a light bag.

Should be no problem to hang outdoors as long as you have something tall enough and sturdy enough to support the weight. However I don't know how well the material will hold up to the elements, I think it will shorten the life of the bag.

depending on the weight of your poster, the top clip may not be able to hold the poster vertically without support on the bottom clip. I did not receive any hanging hooks or wire with the poster holders. If you are thinking of hanging the poster horizontally, i don't think you'll have a problem.

It does not have a hook at the bottom.The bag is sold as a 150 pound bag, so I wouldn't make it too far over 150. Also, filling with all sand, you might hurt yourself. You can do maybe an all sand base, or add sand in 5 pound bag increments. I think you should fill your bag with old clothing or rags, something soft, but packed tight and evenly.

no.. it only keeps your heavy bag from swinging too much. you still need to hang your bag.

I do not know of any clasps to attach another bag. I have 2 of these bags and I use them side-by-side on the top of the roof. Could you explain a little further why you would want to attach the two?

I've found that if the bag isn't packed very full, it wants to tip over onto its top unless I place most of the items on what would be the bottom when standing upright. When the bag is full, it stands on its own, no problem.

I am 5'9" and I am at about half way up [or more on the bag], possibly a little more. I would recommend for taller people to hang it from the ceiling of a garage or tall basement for a more comfortable experience.

We used a swag hook from the ceiling. THat proved too high for me to reach easily (I'm only 5 feet tall), so we hung a wire hanger from the hook and the basket from the hanger.

Keep in mind that the bag will hang down from the stand so that the actual height of the bag will be much lower. I have a similar stand from a competitor and had to put the entire stand on blocks so that it was 1.5' higher. The stand is still a bit low for my 5' 10" frame and my 5' bag.

The weight should not be an issue. We have had a backpack, a messenger bag, and many coats on it one time, without any issue. As noted already, the lowest hooks are out of most little kids reach. Depending on the item, we have to place things on and get them off for our soon to be 5 year old.

The one i ordered came with an ''S'' hook. THE ''S'' hook can be used in place of the top cotter pin to both hold the top on and allow for hanging. I have used a chain and metal plant hanger with no problem.

You can hang it. Its nice that its not too heavy either... you don't need those brackets that are typically used with heavy or large items

You'd have to have frames attached to either the front or rear to hang the pannier bags from; I've done this on other bikes I've owned. The rack the back battery is on would not be useful (or probably safe) for hanging bags, but if you get the hardware attached properly for hanging bags they should be fine to use.
