Instructions

• Step 1: Create the base Create the base of the stand. Screw 4 of the 4-foot pipes into the 5-way pipe junction. Put an end cap on the open end of each of these pipes.
• Step 2: Add the 8-foot pipe Screw the 8-foot pipe into the fifth slot of the 5-way splitter. Then attach the 3-way pipe junction to the other end of the 8-foot pipe.
• Step 3: Attach remaining pipes Attach the remaining 4-foot pipes by screwing them into the 2 open slots of the 3-way splitter. Cap the remaining open ends of the pipes.
• Step 4: Weld the rings Weld the two iron rings about 6 inches from the far ends of the 2 top pipes of the stand.
• Step 5: Hang bag and weights Hang your heavy bag by the chain to one of rings on the upper pipes. Hang the counterweights the same way from the other welded ring.
• TIP: Make sure the counterweights equal the weight of your bag to ensure stability and prevent floor damage.
• Step 6: Tighten it down Tighten all the pipes with a pipe wrench until they are firmly secured to make sure your stand is strong and solid -- just like you'll be after your heavy bag workout.
• FACT: As of 2010, Rocky Marciano was the only heavyweight champion who retired undefeated.
