Found this pretty awesome punch bag in a skip that looks like it's never been used.
I live in a small badly built house where the roofs beams would probably not support this bag being chained to them, let alone being used.
I'm looking for a secure way to use this punch bag it's about 6ft and maybe 45kg.I have also spent no money on this so far so would be great if I could keep it that way.
So any free secure ways to make this punchbag useable would be really appreciated!!
Could you post any images of areas of your house where you think this may be supported? I'll see if I can put in some insight. Another thing I could suggest is if you got a ladder and then laid some sandbags on the bottom. That's probably the cheapest and shittiest way to do it. Unless you have some heavy timber or logs lying around that you could possible build a stand out of.

Wanted to stick it in that space right of the door, it's that one it can go in my garden buy thought it might get ruined after a while outside.

Zero cost is a nice goal, but I suggest you make a decent stand for it. That can also be zero cost if you find a discarded object you can harvest steel and hardware from or modify to suit.
You only need copy the RESULTS of commercial stands. Your stand need only function like them, not look like them.
Skip diving is cool.
Build a little A frame for it from 2x4's, why bother supporting it from the ceiling? Lay 3-4 teepee style and you're good and it'll be sturdy as fuck.
