Welcome to the forums! I am moving this to the Equipment forum, and also changing the thread title so people will know what you're asking about.

Hello, I have the exact same bag, the body outline one....I had mine filled with sand and had it hanging from 4 "s" hooks in a concrete wall....the wall was fine but the grommets ripped where they met the canvas...so it had to be retired..blood stains and all!!!

This is a nice forum

 

It ripped the concrete wall wow i was trying to find a way to hang it in my room i think it will break my wall so i have to find a way to make it less weight on the floor

You could only fill the middle OR top section and secure it that way..I never struck the lower partor the top for that matter, I could then raise or lower it and have a new striking surface....OR you could place a foam pad in the front and fill the back with raw beans..

As far as mounting on a wall....if you can find a stud in the wall, your local hardware store should have the necessary materials to hang heavy objects on walls. You may need to use a few depending on how much the thing weighs, though.

how do you find a stud in the wall is there a method on finding it

 

I know theres the knocking method

You can also use a stud finder. I think it works on the same theory as the knocking method, basically. Some walls are too thick for knocking though, and that's where the finders come in. My house has pretty thin walls, so the knocking method works very well. I would try that first just so you don't have to buy a stud finder (if you don't already own one). They're pretty cheap I think, but if you don't need one, then hey.

How much weight can a stud support though
