Am I Fucked?
Sooo...I think I have made a mistake and need some advice from the world of Reddit on how to proceed. I purchased a heavy bag mount for my garage and installed it, not thinking too much about it. It is a heavy-duty mount that was screwed directly into the truss of the garage ceiling in two different places with four screws in total. The mount is made to allow the bag to move to and from the wall. After installing it, I am now reading everywhere that it should never be screwed into one single truss due to vibrations and the whole nine. It is equipped with a heavy-duty spring that does a great job of mitigating shock. It has only been used once or twice, and I have stopped using it until I get some advice on how to proceed. I have attached a picture for reference of the bracket.
Questions are:
- Am I screwed, and will the mount and bag cause damage if continued to be used?
- Should I take it down immediately? If yes, what should I do about the screw holes in the truss?
- What is the best course of action moving forward?
