About this deal
Another problem is rust. Most heavy bag stands are made of metal, and if you live in a humid area, you can expect that metal to get rusty over time. This is why I recommend you use an anti-rust spray or paint on your heavy bag stand. Personally, I recommend Hammerite. It’s originally made for ships. I’ve used it before, and it’s never let me down. You can even use it to paint over rust that’s already formed.
Even though it’s made of synthetic leather, it’s very durable. In fact, in this case being made of synthetic leather is preferable. This is because synthetic leather is extremely resistant to water. Add to that the fact that the bag doesn’t have any openings in it (as the straps are stitched onto it), and you’ve got a great, water-resistant punching bag. It even comes pre-filled, so you can start using it right away.Like the 70-Pound MMA Heavy Bag Kit above, this Everlast 40lb Heavy Bag offers a very good value for money. It’s durable, and it comes pre-filled, and you can start using it right away. You just fill the base of the bag, and you’re good to go! No need to make a stand, drill your ceiling, or do annoying DIY.
So while it’s perfectly fine to have your heavy bag sessions outdoors, I strongly recommend dismounting your heavy bag when you’re not training, and storing it someplace indoors.The Everlast 40lb Heavy Bag is built like a tank, which is just what we want in a sparring partner. It can take a beating and still keep swinging. However, here’s the scoop: it’s crafted from synthetic leather. Now, don’t get me wrong; it’s not a deal-breaker, but if you’ve got a hankering for the real deal and crave the durability of genuine leather, you might be slightly disappointed. But hey, for those of you just dipping your toes into the world of martial arts or boxing, this bag is a champ. A major con is that it can break during particularly intense workouts. So, while it may be a good option for beginners, I wouldn’t recommend it for advanced fighters.
Hanging heavy bags also swing when you strike them. This can really enhance your workout, as you need to reposition yourself, and be more dynamic and adaptive in your combinations.

Best Outdoor Punching Bag (Free Standing): Century Original Wavemaster Freestanding Heavy Punching Bag It even comes with a pair of decent boxing gloves! It weighs 205 pounds, and has 12 suction cups to hold it in place. But if you want those solution cups to get a good grip, you’ll need to put them on a concrete slab or some other smooth surface. Things like dust, pebbles, and dirt will be very problematic for those suction cups. But overall, this is a nice, compact free standing punching bag that is great for using outdoors. Especially if you’re a beginner.
