Hello,
Sorry for the noob question. But i was wondering what everyones opinion is or experience on how to mount a heavy bag (50lbs) in the ceiling of my basement? I want to hang it in between the joist supports. Would putting a 2x4 in between the support joist and hanging the bag on the 2x4 be good enough? Im just making sure its safe and all, but mostly if its all good for the basement ceiling itself. I may be just paranoid but i thought id ask people who have more experience in that.
This is an image i found on google that looks exactly how my joist supports look like:
