6ft Kickbag failure

[PAz]

Hows the gap between the plasterboard and the breeze block? Thats really area of concern so filling wtih resin like sigma said above would be good (if you have something that can inject it). Can you get to both sides of the breeze block? If so you could bolt a back plate on one side..

Personally if you've got a wooden beam going across the ceiling that is solid (maybe a picture?) I'd just get a small bag and hang it from there. My bag is 5ft and pretty much spot on:

This link says to use throughbolts:

Others say to use some sort of resin to hold plugs in.

To be honest I think your best bet is to get a smaller back and get a decent stand. A 6ft bag seems a bit of an overkill to me.

It's for Muay Thai, so needed it quite low for low kicks etc - although I guess 5ft or maybe even a 4ft wouldn't matter, I just got recommended a 6ft bag so went with that. Was just looking for a way to sort it, other than sending it back because it won't be accepted now.

Thanks for the links, unfortunately I don't know what I'm doing with DIY so I'd probablly have to pay someone else to do it I suppose if one of those ways works.

Paz - the bag is already on the wooden beam. I'm end of terrace, so I guess I could drill right through (or get someone else to do it), unfortunately I'm rented though, not sure if I could do that or not.

I'll get a picture up tomorrow morning though

My bag is for MT as well and 5ft is fine. Infact the club I go to has 5ft bags as well.

Movement is the biggest issue with the kicking imo, so you might want to bolt a chain into the floor and then attach it to the bottom of the bag.
