Was wondering if anyone knew of a heavy bag that you could leave outside without having to worry about bringing it down because of rain or snow? Tried ebay, but nothing listed there.

Snow and frost will probably make the bag very weak. When you punch it for the first time after a cold winter it will probably break. Can't you put it in a garden shed or someting like that?

No, only have a very small shed which is full of shit already. Only other option is to stick it in the house, but thats just going to be in the way. With school starting this semester im going to have to stop taking muay thai for 3 months, so i at least wanted to keep a heavy bag to hit during that time.

False.

I had a white canvas 70lbs bag from Everlast that stayed outside (only slightly under an overhang) in the snow and frost for over 5 years without any problems.

Moisture can cause mould to grow and then next time you punch it you'll breath that shit in and it won't be good for you at all.
