How to anchor battle ropes at home?

Before anchor battle ropes you need to find a spot that offer you plenty of room. The best place to install battle ropes at home is any sturdy and tough fixture that is anchored to a heavy stable mass. Things like garage walls and basement walls.

You’ll need anywhere from 6 to 25 feet from the wall, depending on the length of your rope. The height of the installation depends on what kind of exercise you are going to do with the battle rope. It is recommended that you install 3 feet from the ground. Or you can even mount two or more anchors, one above another, at different heights to accommodate different workouts.

To anchor to the wall, you’ll need:

1. A battle rope anchor strap kit
2. A power drill
3. The proper drill bit: a masonry bit for cinder block or brick walls or a wood bit for wall studs – Get the right type of bitfor what you’re mounting your anchor to
4. Pencil
5. Level (optional)
6. Correct screwdriver or bit for your screws

2. Mark your holes. Position the anchor at around 3 feet off the ground and bolt it to the wall. Hold the anchor against the wall. A level will ensure the anchor is completely vertical. When your happy with your placement, use your pencil to mark the wall right through the mounting holes.
3. Make sure that your ropes are out of the way of any items. 
4. Drill the holes.Use a bit of the correct size for the screws that came with your anchor kit. Be sure to use the correct bit for the wall you’re drilling into as well. Drill all of the holes deep enough to fully accept the screw.
5. Screw the anchor to the wall. Make sure the screws go all the way in and the anchor is firmly secured to the wall. Loop your rope through the strap and give it some tests waves.

Battle ropes don't have to have a fixed anchor for you to be able to use them, and you can use some of the heavy equipment that you already have in your gym.

2. You don't have to anchor your battle rope permanently. Instead, you can just find a temporary weight or machine that you can thread your battle rope through. Make sure it's something heavy and durable that isn't going to move as you whip the rope. Remember, you may need a separate anchor for each rope.  
3. Wrap Your Battle Rope.
4. Wrap your battle rope around the temporary anchor and tie it in place.  
5. Test if It’s Secure.

Lay your rope out from the temporary anchor and perform a few light waves or slams to test it. Make sure your temporary anchor isn’t moving and that the rope is secure. Once you’re content with it, you can start your workout.

Can I Anchor My Battle Rope To My Ceiling For Climbing Exercises?

Yes, you can. It is possible to climb a rope. In fact, that’s a fantastic way to build upper body strength.

There are some assumptions. You’ve got to have a really high ceiling. So you can use a regular battle rope anchor strap kit for a ceiling mount. The process is similar to mounting to a wall, but you have to decide on lateral placement rather than height. And you absolutely must screw the anchor into a joist. Use screws with the deepest threads you can find. Don’t go with the cheapest anchor strap kit you can find. Check the specs and get the toughest one you can find. If you can find reviews on the kit, check them and look for red flags like breaking or fraying.

For safety reasons, you may actually be better off hiring a pro for this.
