When hanging something that is going to take a beating, like a punching bag, make sure to hook up the chains on a load bearing wall.

you need to find a stud in the ceiling and make sure you got long enought nails because you dont want someone to punch it off the ceiling.

When hanging a punching bag, one must be careful about the placement. Assuming it will be hung from the ceiling, the ceiling where it is being placed must be strong enough to hold the weight of the bag. The bracket that will hold the bag and it's chain must be drilled into the ceiling securely.

This typically involves choosing mounting hardware, typically a screw-hook, to hang it, and a good location. Homes with unfinished ceilings in the basement make this task very easy, as it merely involves mounting the hook, and then hanging the bag on it.

You want to make sure that when you're hanging anything you'll be beating around, it's securely anchored into an overhead joist. Usually, punching bags come with their own mounting equipment, and you just have to screw it in with screws that are meant for wood--if you're not sure which ones, ask someone at the hardware store.

you need a special bracket that screws to the wall the bracket hangs out a fair length from the wall the punch bag hooks on to the bracket.
