5. How to Make a Punch Bag Wall Bracket
This DIY Punching bag stand is ideal for outdoor use, you can use it inside your garage, but I think it would look better off inside. This punching bag stand is made of scaffolding and I think the creator did a great job putting this together. If made rightly it can withstand the weight from any punching bag.
For this DIY punching bag stand you will need a Hook Tube Clamp, Fixing Bracket Double Sided Tube Clamps, 50mm M8 Coach Screws, 8mm Wall Plugs, Adjustable Tee Tube Clamp, and a couple of other materials and tools.
Step one in the making process starts off with cutting the metal tube pieces to length, for this you would need saws with more power as regular saws are not able to cut through. After cutting all your pieces, the next thing would be putting them together, while this seems easy, you need to be careful because a silly mistake can ruin the whole stand.
The final and most satisfying step is mounting the bracket to the wall, for this you will need to drill 4 8mm holes, and then add 8mm wall plugs. The process is pretty much basic. Hang the punchbag to the hook and you’re good to go. You can check out the full tutorial for more details on how to make this punching bag stand.

Unfortunately, you don’t get to see the making process from scratch, but you’ll surely get value from it. The video tutorial starts off with the creator giving all the measurements that he used for the base of this DIY punching bag stand. In order for the stand to be firm, he put together a couple of 2x4s.

7. DIY Outdoor Punching Bag Stand
Here’s an outdoor punching bag stand with a difference, this one has a pull-up station installed which is great for people who want to take their fitness game to the next level. Due to the size of this punching bag stand, it is not ideal for indoor use, unless you have a very large space indoors.
The making process is pretty much basic and can be done by any determined person. It starts off with connecting two 4x2 wooden beams at about ⅘ of their length, do this with an eye bolt, next up, you need to drill a hole at the top of each beam and connect the tops of the beams using a rope.
Here’s the tricky part, using the rope you connected to the tops and cross point of the beams, you need to bring the complete structure to a 70 degree upright angle. After this is done, then comes the easy part, tie off the ropes that are holding the structure at an anchor point, your anchor point can be the base of a tree if you are outdoors. The final step is hanging your punching bag from the cross point of both beams.
