How To Make a Punching Bag Using Old Tires

DIY Tire Punching Bag

If you like training outdoors and want a punching bag that you could leave out and it’s not going to deteriorate in the weather, then make yourself one of these. I made this one from old tires that I got for free from a tire shop. Most tire shops will be happy to donate some old tires if you tell them they will be used to make a punching bag. The steps below give you a basic overview of how to make one yourself. For more detailed instructions check out my Fighter DIY eBook.

5-Step Instructions on How To Make an Outdoor Punching Bag Using Old Tires:

  1. Get 6 old tires by visiting your local tire shop and asking them to donate 6 old tires. Tell them it’s for a punching bag and they will be happy to let you have them for free.
  2. Buy two PVC pipes the length of your stack of tires.
  3. Drill holes on either side of each tire, making sure all the holes line up, so you can thread your PVC pipes through the holes, thus bracing the tires together.
  4. Use rope or straps to strap the tires together and stop them from coming apart.
  5. Attach a carabina to the top of each strap or rope for hanging your tire punching bag.
Good luck making it and hope you enjoy! If you have any questions feel free to ask them in the comments below.

10-Step Instructions: Get 13 pool noodles (for a 6 foot tall punching bag), a roll of cheap packing tape and a roll of cheap cling wrap (or two).

Alternatively if you don't want to make the base, you can simply use an umbrella base such as this one from Amazon:  https://amzn.to/3nY3J19 . For mounting your pole, get a one inch galvanised steel pipe roughly one foot long and a flange to mount it. You'll also need 4 thick, short screws to fix the flange onto your board - these are ideal: https://amzn.to/3gCO82H .
