I've got a freestanding punchbag and Ive had it for a pretty long time but recently Ive been thinking of buying a hanging heavy bag and putting it in the back garden as there is no space in the house.

Just wondering if this is a bad idea or not? I was thinking of just throwing a cover over it after each session to protect it from the elements (rain mostly), will it be ok outdoors or will it degrade much faster then usual?

it depends were in the garden,you dont want to put it to close to the tomatoes and keep it away from the roses:beerchug:

I have a hook for mine.

haul it outside whenever i wan't to use it. takes about 1 min.

Bump

Anymore suggestions?

Im at a gym, I just want a bag at home aswell

Dont forget to fertilize it with blood and bone

4 some reason, this idea doesn't sound like healthy boxing exercise...

joe louis had a punching bag hanging from an oak tree behind his house, as long as u go out there and actually punch it its a good idea...my neighbor has a speed bag hanging up behind his shed, rotting away. no one has ever punched it from what i can tell, i think one of these days i'll ask him if i can hang it up in my garage, i'll punch it
