I'm thinking about getting myself a heavy bag. The only thing stopping me at the moment is the fact that I have plaster calls and ceiling. That means that I don't know if I'm going to be able to hang something that heavy off of it. Does anybody know anything about this kind of thing? I'm also living in an appartment, so I don't want to annoy my neighbours. Any suggestions? I've already thought about getting a stand but at the moment that is not an opption, since they don't seem to sell them europe (well UK but I'm a little further away than that). thanks for the help!

Even if you get the stud in the ceiling you will vibrate the plaster quite a bit. You could try putting a larger plate of thick plywood up on tthe ceiling and then make sure you get your mounting bracket screws into the stud good.

oftentimes in the back of the plaster are studs, or 2 x 4's so in case you utilize the two a stud finder, or purely rap upon the partitions to discover the sound closest to a thud of solidity you should sink the screws into that spot as to attraction to close the bag effectively. Small holes made with an fairly small drill bit can discover the stud to boot, purely which you will possibly then might desire to repair the small holes, re-plaster them....or toothpaste as filler

no, the vibration will crack the plaster! If you HAVE to hang it, you have to screw a 2x4 into the ceiling, THEN hang the bag from the 2x4, but I wouldn't recommend it with a plaster ceiling, can't you get one of those stands that can hang the bag?
