Heavy Bag Stand questions

I need help.

I have a tight spot for training at my house and not much room for a heavy bag. My training area is in the corner of my garage. The ceiling is about 15 foot tall so hanging a heavy bag is out of the question.

I don't have the room for a big free standing bag stand....so I've been looking at trying to get a wall mount but I feel these are not very heavy duty. I have about a 70lb bag and I hit fairly hard.

I originally made a homemade wallmount from some 4 x 4's that I had laying around to see if that would work but I feel they're going to rip my wall apart.

Does anyone know of a good heavy bag stand on the market that doesn't take much space or a wall mount that is durable enough to take a lot of abuse?

Thanks

Why is hanging a heavy bag out of the question? There are lots of mounts you can use. Length isn't an issue - just add/remove more chain.

My ceiling is like 15 feet high. I don't want the bag swinging around like crazy with a long chain.

I have the Everlast stand and the TKO stand.
Everlast: http://www.everlast.com/heavy-duty-t...hreat-gym.html
TKO: http://store.titleboxing.com/title-p...-speedbag.html

I like my Everlast better since it is a 3 station setup, but the TKO takes less room.

The Everlast hangs my new 100 lb, 6 ft Title MMA bag (it's the black version of their red MT heavy bag) better because it's taller and the hanging arm (neck that holds the bag) is longer and keeps the bag a little further from the vertical support bar, but the TKO stand is a little shorter and I needed to shorten the links to accommodate the longer bag.

The TKO weight stumps are also kind of long comparatively and I've paid attention not to kick it when landing low kicks.
