They are trusses, so that would be a question for their engineers. And we know what they would say. Boxing the truss with plywood would be the best bet. Lot's of people hang these bags most don't use them long because they shake the whole house.Neal, could you mount a couple-three 2x8 (or whatever size fits) webs between those engineered joists, screwed through the web part of the joist? Then screw a couple more webs between those to mount the heavy bag?
Now that is a plan. :biggrin2:The noise will drive those upstairs crazy.
This is how I did for my son.
The are TGI and trusses. Not joists. :wink2:Floor joists are designed to support a load of more than 250 lbs per square foot, otherwise a singel fat person could create problems. The two joists are capable of supporting 500 lbs between them. It is also a static load with the bag as all the force is straight down.
I would mount a section of 4x4 between the joists and use Simpson Strong-tie connectors. Put an eye-bolt through the 4x4 before attaching it to the joists.
