So I dont need to hang it from the ceiling or anything else that will mess up my house and should just get a 50 lb bag of sand and put it in instead?

Yes, you are correct. There is no need to drill any holes in the ceiling or floor. Also, the sand, I think, is better because it will not leak, plus you get five more pounds of weight. It only cost me a few dollars at Lowes and has worked fine for me.

You can go to any MMA or Boxing supply place and buy one of their anchor bags. They are better made and sand seems to work better than water.

So I have a 100lb bag and it does hang from the ceiling. To counter from the house shaking and weakening the frame structure of the ceiling, I have secured two 16 foot or so 2X4's perpendicular to the house's 2X4's to strengthen the ceiling and then I have a short one between two studs that the bag hanger secures to with bolts. This reduces shaking. I use the anchor to keep the bag still while working out. I guess you could use a bag stand and also use the anchor and not have to do any carpenter work. Especially if you are going to use a 50 or 70 lb bag, the stand and anchor would probably work well. I hope this helps. So I have a 100lb bag and it does hang from the ceiling.

i have my 70 pound bag hanging from a beam i installed in my house. i only have the bag up when I'm using it. i bought this water bag so i would not have to drill into the floor. i filled it with water and it does not leak. it has a very thick rubber inside and i doesn't leak.

I hung mine from a rope on a beam but if you go to home depot and get hanging equipment good for say 50# and put it in a stud in the ceiling, it should be fine. My cats love it and take a running start, jump in and swing themselves now! Its an absolute riot. Julie We took out the pillow so they can grab with their claws because the pillow is too puffy.

You can hang it from the ceiling, you just need to use a screw hook that is screwed into the joist (It must be screwed securely into the joist -- you have to first drill a pilot hole that is smaller than the screw). The screw hook costs around $3.00.

I just wrap it around a pole. You can buy a thing you put in the ground and hook it on it.

I suppose you could hang it. Thick pieces. Probably need some framing for it just to be safe.

If you had all the sandbags full and maybe use the stakes as well it would be ok... We used this on Myrtle Beach with just the sandbags and sand around the bottom floor without any problems. We didn't use the stakes on the beach - it has a bottom that holds your stuff also that helps to hold it down..

I don't know. The top link is a loop, so you'd need a hook to hang from your ceiling and you'd have to figure out how to secure it.

You can hang a hammock from the ceiling. I believe it would work great. It holds two of my kids on a round swing and they are big

I guess it depends on wind conditions. If it is not windy, no need to secure it. If you are concerned about wind, you could place something that weighs a few pounds, like a small sandbag on the feet.It is really pretty sturdy. We have used ours several times with no need to secure it to the ground.

It's super simple to hang up. Everything you need will come with it. It will need to be empty to hang it up though.

I used mine in my Halloween display and I just put it on the floor, but it would be awesome hanging from the ceiling pointing down. Good luck and have fun!

I would be hesitant about hang anything from a drop ceiling. I would still try to attach to the actual ceiling with a pole or to a beam. Hope this helps.

I am not sure if you are just putting this up for an event or keeping it up for an extended period of time. If it is just for an event, then I would use sand bags tied to the bottom of each of the poles. I live in Vancouver, Wa near the Gorge and we get High winds about 4 to 5 times during the year, and my canopy is set up year round and acts as another room off my patio, and we have the canopy bolted to the house in several places on one side of the canopy and several steal stakes in the ground on the other side where we taped the poles to the stakes. It has servived 2 springs one summer, and a winter. I am very happy with this one, and over the years we have tried several other canopies. Hope the sand bag idea is helpful, dress them up if this is for an important event. 20 lbs per pole is my suggestion. GOOD-LUCK !!!!

Yes as long as u fill base with sand which can hold over 50 lbs. the only other concern is the screw that holds umbrella only puts pressure against pole so strong wind could blow it out what I did was drill hole in my umbrella pole so that the screw actually went into the pole itself and there was no chance of it slipping out

Hi,Yes you should only install into a beam, vertical or horizontal. Use the bolts/screws that came with the mount anything else may not work and you could not only injury yourself but cause damage to your house. Once yuou have it up do a couple exercises with moderate weight on untill you get comfortable. I installed in mine into a horizontal beam in garage. Hope this helps.

We have beams in our living room so we hung it from that. But, I have also hung it in doorways. Anything secure enough to support the weight! It is a wonderful way for kids to exercise!
