Ceiling – Punching bag mounted on ceiling in flat

ceilingmounting

I would like to mount a punching bag on the ceiling as there are not really any good boxing gyms here in Madrid.

Key Facts

  • I am on the Ground Floor known as "Bajo" in Spanish
  • The weight on the boxing bag is 70LB
  • Here is the link "Link to all the images" of the first and second ceiling. I can take more on request.

You can see in the images all the ceilings and the metal mount.

If photos 6/7 are indicating you have some kind of dropped ceiling, then you definitely cannot attach this to the dropped ceiling. It won't support any load.

Best option in that case is to build a free standing structure and hang your bag on that. A couple of A frames and a beam going across the top where you'd attach the bag would be easy to build. Use a few bolts for the assembly and it would also be easy to disassemble and relocate. Keep the span of the feet wider than the maximum swing of the bag to avoid having it tip over.
