  • I think the ceiling is lath and plaster beneath ceiling joists. Do you think that would work better than going into the wall?

    I'd expect that to shake the joists & cause everything attached to crumble

    They're not as fun as heavy bags, but how about a floor standing bag?

  • Yeah through the ceiling doesn't quite feel right so I think I'm going to give the chemical fixings a go. Don't want to go all the way through to the outside for cosmetic reasons.

    Floor standing bags are no good for me, just fall over in my presence. My right hook is epic.

  • Or. make a frame like construction that bridges the entire room. with the uprights close to the wall on either side to take up minimal floor space. that will put the load down in the floor rather than walls. you can incoorporate racks or shelves in it too.

    edit: make one side into a set of wall bars.
