Needs details or clarity | |
| Apr 23, 2023 at 13:37 | comment | added | jay613 | @Ecnerwal I stand corrected but am I correct in principle, IE that the chord is designed for certain forces, the splice in particular is designed for tension, and heavy side-to-side swinging could tear it apart? If that's where OP wants to hang it, which we don't know. | |

That also means there isn't a beam except at the sidewall between the columns, where hanging a bag would be impractical as it would be against the side-wall - there are only truss chords and truss webs for structure. | |

If you have a specific place where you REALLY want it, please specify. 2) Are your rafter ties in two pieces, tied in the middle with nails? If so I'd avoid putting heavy jiggly things near there. 3) Can you hang the bag from or near the beam at the end? Maybe run a board near there using two rafter ties and the beam for support and bracing? Would that work for you? 4) What's with the floor above? Was that in the engineering plan? What's kept on it? That PLUS the bag ..... ?? | |
