Hi
I want to install a punchbag in the garage, I think the weight of the bag is around 50kg.
Im just a bit concerned about whether the wall can take the weight( as the bag will be swaying quite a lot). the wall isnt plastered or covered in anyway, its just the bare bricks.
Now If I install the bracket http://www.gymworld.co.uk/prodpage.asp?ProdID=693
what sort of screws should I use (wallplugs) and where should I screw into the wall i.e brick, mortar. One thing i must mention is that the mortar is quite weak and crumbles easily when just rubbing it lightly. House is 1930s build. The wall is an external load bearing wall and is supporting the floor above(if this makes any difference lol)
Thank you very much
