Hanging a heavy bag

[Bulltahr]

OK, so I'm going to make up a bracket and hang my heavy bag semi-permanently off a tree in the backyard. What height off the ground is ideal? I.E. ground to bottom of the bag??

Mostly for solo use, striking and kicking.

I'm average height. 1.76 m (5' 9")

Thanks for any advice.

How long is the bag? For a 6ft Thai-style bag, I like to have it 4" or less from the ground. That gives me the most striking area, and I can set a tire around the base so I can work stomps as well. For a shorter bag, though, I just make sure that the striking area starts at head level.

The tyre sounds a great idea, will do that, bag is not the skinny long one, it's 900 mm {3 ft) long with a D ring on the bottom for anchoring, I might do a bungy set up there.
