How To Make Punching Bag - Detailed Instructions 

Just wanted to say thank you for uploading this. It was just the inspiration I was looking for to build a durable outdoor bag, which I've now done, and it's cost next to nothing. I made it using 8 tyres (approx. 5ft), and it weighs 60kg. I ran the straps through the centre's of the pipes so I could add a bigger tyre on top to act as a kind of uppercut doughnut. I highly recommend this to anyone thinking about making their own; it's something your rarely get on a heavy bag and feels great. Just don't run the pipe as close as I have to the outside of the tyres, especially if using soft tyres, or you'll feel the pipe. I thought there may be a chance the pipes may break making it this way, but despite my best efforts over the past few months I haven't been able to get them to.

Okay, yes. This is a fantastic idea for an outdoor bag! Finally, a bag my wife will allow me to have. TY much!

I made one of these using Bugatti Veyron Michelin Pilot sport PAX...cost me around $60,000 ...but what a punching bag....

Cool idea! Maybe you could put a bigger diameter tire on top to work uppercuts?

Looking 4 a cheap & easy way to make a durable punching bag 4 my son, & you sir are a Godsend as well as a genius. Minute 1 saw this I built it 20 bucks, works well for practicing escrima as well. Thank you very much 4 posting this video.

Wow! I've never thought of this. First I've seen. Very good enginuity! So that's why I keep wanting to collect all of the old tires I keep finding. I suppose the tires could even be filled if someone could use a very heavy heavy bag.

that's so awesome and so simple... I'm glad I salvaged my tires and I'm glad I watched this video. Thanks for the upload and how to dude! =D!!!

This is such a clever idea. Truly helpful. Thank you

Perfect. Thanks for the upload. I ruined my heavy bag after letting it be outside for 3 years "whata POS i am", the stuffing got rained down so the top half is empty and the bottom is hard as a rock. This will be way better and it'll last outside:)

Well done! Consider a similar design made of a coil spring (and a seriously solid base) for a free-standing punching bag.

This is cool. I think support strap from bottom would be most perfect to help to keep bag stable.

I like that it's better than a regular punching bag it can stand the weather

I love your creativity. excellent video!

This is a great idea, really appreciate the instructions!

awesome!

Thank you for sharing!

Reedy is shredded

Really good way to make a boxing bag - i have made one too, but you definitely need fist and shin protections to punch/kick it

this is so smart!! you rock man.

You can get old tires free if you look in the right places, I used thick bolts with nuts and washer 4 per tire didn't cost too much

Cool punching bag i wish i had this punching bag!

Best part that I see is that it'll never get moldy, rust, or fall apart due to the elements. And, nobody will be tempted to steal it (hopefully). :) It's not easy to hang bags outdoors in the high desert where the weather changes from insanely hot to freezing at the drop of a hat.

Fantastic outdoor bag. Just wish I had the space to have one of these. Great work man :-)

Nice job, Dima!

Thank you for this vid its a gr8 idea and you explained what you shared excellently

thanks bro, this is the best one, i am going to make one like yours, thanks....

Thanks. One tire weighs around 10kg (20 ponds). The bag has 6 tires, so around 60 kg or 120 pounds. If you need it to be lighter, try 5 tires. If you want a heavier bag, add more tires or use larger tires.

Thanks im going to make this exact design.

Finally People complaining about it been cheaper to buy a real heavy bag have no idea what weathering does to a heavy bag when you have to keep it outside. Especially in shitty bad weather countries.

This is really great and good Idea.. just what I was looking for..

Nice video :) I was make this kind of punching bag but with some different way. However, punching bag making of used tires is good idea :)

Nice one..keep posting

VERY Creative!!!

Great Idea.

well done i am going to try to make my own with your plan

That’s brilliant only struggle is measurements but other than that ima take your idea. The stand gonna be hard but well worth it

This is what I need to do thanks.

Creative idea. Nice.

Hah, never thought to use PVC to hold the tires together instead of bolting them together. Now that's awesome. too bad I'll have to borrow some drill bits to make the hole big enough for something like that, as opposed to just using half inch drill bits that come with any standard drill kit.

Thank you. The drill bit wasn't a problem but the actual drill was. I had a hard time drilling through the tire. I probably need something more powerful.

This seems more secure. I've tried the bolt together style and my tires were too pliable and they stretched considerably at the joints. I'll probably end up reinforcing it with the Tie-down method. Good vid mate.

Excellent Video

Thanks for the clip!! How is the bag holding up?

Awesome idea. I came to watch this as I didn't fancy paying out for what they charge for them these days and I will definitely be making this. about to watch the one about making a stand too. keep up the videos bro

good idea man

Try with some long pants first. The rubber has a slapping effect on flesh, especially on the top of the foot, even though you're kicking with the shin.

Make it with studded tyres and kick without padding for best effect

nice!! i wanna make one of these one day.

You deserve a Nobel peace prize.

That is really good my legs there rock now haha professional kick boxer

came by courtesy of zednoughtalpha, great video btw

nice project and creative, i like it , smart and cheap... but i find the diameter of a the tires a bit to big for a punching bag ... there are any tires with smaller diameter that can be used to build a bit smaller in diameter bag ? i also need to make a longer one for kick combos...

don't forget the spare one as well! lol!!!!

Good idea

what is the weight of the 6 tire punching bag. how do the straps hold up. do they wear out quickly

What size tires did you use? All tires list a size on the side wall. it's idea what to use

i don't have room in the house to hang a heavy bag. so i have to use one strictly outdoors. this thing works perfectly for a bag you can just leave outside. and for the gloves i just duct taped an old pair of cheap Everlasts, not using my Grants on this thing.

great job bro. do you have an idea how much this bag weighs though?

NIce one Bro.

it's a special drill bit for making large diameter holes - ask for it at your hardware store. It normally comes as a set of different large diameters.

Very good idea. wonder if there's a way to avoid using the straps, maybe a long threaded bolt through the tires with nuts on each end to tighten? probably cost a lot more though.

it seems like you could do this without the straps by having a hole in the bottom and top and just having the bottom of the spine have ends to keep them from falling and hanging it through the spines since the are hollow anyway... I'll try that and see how it works

How is the wear and tear on your gloves when hitting tires compared to a heavy bag?

You should drill small holes to the lowest tire, so that rain water can drain. Nice idea

You could also place the rope on the inside too. So it won't show outside. I think it will look more aesthetic.

This is genius

Thanks for the vid.. I maid mine today.

Dope

thx man

Freakn Macguyver over here !

bad ass tutorials

I've seen Buakaw training on one of these before.

You could also cut one tire in half and attach it to a wall.

bolt the tyres together instead?:)

So far no problems, but might have to replace the straps soon.

Great idea, my only worry is that you said about going to the scrap yard and asking for tires if they could donate, problem I see with this is that although it would take a lot of time these tires are already worn or cut into like the clearly visible cut seen on the top tire you put onand a serious trainer is still going to wear off rubber give a good solid kick when that steel belting starts to peak out and see how long it takes to dig out those metal slivers. I'd recommend getting dollar store duck tape and wrap the hell out of it after filling in those slices with pure silicone. Then this thing will last forever.

That would be nice to see how to build if u ever make a video. I'm subscribing and waiting for that if u ever get around to it because I'm not very handy. Good luck with it and very creative and cheap. That bag will never go bad on u that's for sure!

Question: have you tried kicking it with your bare shins? And do you recommend it more then using pads

how heavy is this bag? thinking of making one and using it for weighted carries and presses

Anyways I kinda had an idea what if you wrap it with a long as hardish softish foam around it and taped it on do you think if would be a pretty good diy heavy bag so like you can do a lot of stuff on it without padding in your shins

yo wait you're ripped?! this is insane lol

What type of drill did you use?

nice !!!!good !!!!!

Yes, you're probably best off to use a power drill as opposed to a battery powered one. I have a lithium battery one which has a bit more power - the green one you see in the video. It's called MAC Master.

Tape some plastic over the top tire, and drill a few drainage holes, and you can avoid standing water inside (mosquito farm).

Is this good tot use for a beginner Thai boxer

All the tires should have drain holes cuz if water gets in there bugs and mosquitos will too

Great, cept I live in Canada and can only go outside 2 months of the year. The rest is snow and waiting for snow to melt.

Nice job maybe a couple more tires for more weight.

NICE

Won't the tube break after a while due the the daily punching? Plus I'm in the uk so where could I get the straps and tubes?

Nice

Hahah Michelin sponsored :D

I made one with 4 tires today I used rope to hang it and it all cost me like $6.00

togeda..!!

which is better for shin conditioning? Kicking tires or kicking bags?

*Is punching on Tyre good for gloves?*

Cool

I saw some other guy use nuts/bolts/washers to keep them all together.

when you drill the tire, is it possible to minimize the burnt and the smell? just wondering. thank you.
