Hanging it From a Beam
The good thing about this method is that you don’t have to buy anything else if you already have a suitable bolt.
1. Search for the right joist
Again, make sure that the joist is strong enough to support the bag. You don’t want to damage the ceiling of your house.
2. Drill a hole through the beam
Drill a hole through the joist.
Make sure that you measured the bolt before drilling a hole. The bolt should be 2 or 3 inches longer than the beam so you can hang the chains of the bag.
Tip: try to use a drill with a similar diameter to the bolt.
3. Attach the bolt
Slide the bolt in the hole you just made with the eye pointing downwards and tighten it.
4. Hang the bag
Attach the heavy bag to the eye of your bolt and you are ready to go!

Hanging a Heavy Bag With a Wall Mount
1. Get a wall mount

2. Attach it to the wall
Again, everything should be included and you should not have any problems with this step.
Make sure that your wall is strong enough so it can handle the weight of the bag.
