Hey guys, looking to add a punchbag to my home set-up and thought i'd come here for some input.

I'm pretty much clueless about them really so was wondering what prices I should be looking at and where I could get one from online (I live in the UK). Also what weight, construct would be best etc?

I'll be installing it in a room 8'2" high, so with a hook, chain and 4ft bag it'd be floating with the base 3ft off the ground, is that about right?

Thanks in advance guys.

i am about to order one of those.

i've done my research about the inside material. at first i wanted an Everlast Durahide 100lbs bag, but i found out that the bottom gets hard because the bag is filled with multiple sand bags.

this ARIES 100lbs vinyl bag seems good.

"We carry a wide range of heavy bags & free standing bags. Both our leather and vinyl heavy bags are made with complete attention to stitching quality & workmanship and are hand-filled with 100% rag content (only the FILLED bags). We do not use any heavy filling or sand bags, so the bags will retain their shape and will not settle or lump.
Features:
• Laminated canvas inner lining for strength and stretch prevention
• Double stitched throughout
• Multiple stitched suspension straps with webbing re-enforcement
• Heavy duty chrome plated metal D-rings
• Suspension chain & swivel set included
• Colors: black, blue"
