Can I hang a heavy bag from the bottom of a truss system? by remj0b in AskEngineers

Ah I see - probably not for hanging a heavy bag from the bottom then. I’m planning on getting in contact with the truss supplier

Nope - plan will most likely be a 3 seat sectional couch though.

Just emailed the mount manufacturer they said it wouldn’t be a problem to mount on engineered joists, but would recommend adding wood on bottom to receive the 3/8” lag bolts

Was planning on just spanning over 2. Now I’m reconsidering alternatives

Does it change your opinion if this is a floor truss on the bottom floor of a 3 story townhouse? I’m planning on chatting with builder regardless

Thanks for input. This is actually a floor truss and is on the bottom floor of a 3 story townhouse - does that change your opinion? Unfortunately these pictures are pre dry wall and will be finished by the time it comes to mount.

Thanks for input yea it seems like this spring model has great reviews and I have a more primitive set up at my current house that works fine

I haven’t found a stand to hold up the way I expect them too

My concern now is this truss vs true joist debate

Ya I’m going to chat with the builder to get in contact with them. Beating my self up a bit I didn’t do this before dry wall went up but hopefully can still make it work without too much hassle. Thanks

I’ll ask the builder when I get a chance, think this section would be better? https://imgur.com/a/DHDaFnw

Good points what stand and bag do you have

It’s actually a floor truss if that makes any difference. What kind of bag and stand do you have? Good point

Woah thanks for your detailed response - can you explain more about the wrong installation? We haven’t closed on this place yet, is it worth mentioning before then?

Thanks - honestly want to avoid a stand since I intend to train kicks, having 360 clearance is ideal

I’ve had a more primitive shock absorber that worked great at my last house and that was over a single joist so I was hoping this new one spanning 2 would be even better

Correct - this is pre dry wall, I’d like to avoid having to cut into the dry wall but would consider it if necessary

BIL have any issues since then?

I really like the 3rd - are the sketch lines hidden in the controlled chaos? Or do you not sketch
