Adding weight to a heavy bag

[dannytrantom]

there are a lot of seasoned vets here with many years of experience. I have very limited income. I cannot afford a 200 pound heavy bag. I have a 100 pound heavy bag that cost $95. Why is it that for double the weight it costs nearly $300-400 for a 200 pound bag. But my main question is how can I add more weight to my heavy bag and safely. I thought about roping or duct taping weights to my 100 pound bag, because I heard people talk about it in forums but have not seen any vids on youtube. Thanks!

I'm very confused. Shontae is a well spoken, intelligent young man who just provided us a comedic troll post. You're the one with the low IQ son.

I bought a bag unfilled just because I wanted to fill and control weight myself. I did plastic bags with sand/gravel lined with clothes. I taped the plastic bags as well, it worked.

Ok, I'm in punching bag capital of the world, Southern California . This is the Mecca of punching bags . Revgear, Pro Boxing Supplies, Pro Boxing Equipment, Outslayer, Prolast , BiltTuff, PermaBilt and Musashi are/were making bags here.
The standard weight for NO SAND added bags are 80 lbs for 14" by 45-48" bags. 100 lbs for 5 foot versions of that . Or 18" by 4 feet. 200 lbs would be HUGE AND LONG. You're looking at 20" by 5 feet or so .
The reason they are so much more expensive than 100 lbs bags is they use more FILLING and the bags are larger . The best filler are POLYESTER cloth . They have hydraulic press that press those fabric . IF they made a 4 ft bag into a 200 lbs bag ( 14" diameter ), the filler would be TOO HARD.
If they add sand ( in bags ), the bag would develop hard spots. Those are common with cheap Everlast bags .

My advice to you is to get an unfilled 18" by 5 ft. bag . Go to Ebay and search Hammer Head punching bag. He can probably make you one for less than $100. Then you will have to gather polyester/rayon cloth and fill that bag yourself . Use sledgehammer to compact the filler .
You're gonna need a lot of cloth. You might have to hit a lot of tailors in your local area to ask for their cutoffs. Best would be those who make women's dress b/c they use a lot of rayon . Cotton/denim are too hard and are not springy.
