I would get some 4" lag bolts and lag bolt them into the studs in the wall.

If you're installing it into a dry wall ceiling (not beams) then I suggest you get better anchors. The ones that come with it aren't very good in my opinion.

I have this mount directly to drywall with very good anchors from home depot. DO NOT use the simple compression anchors. Get the WingIts World's Strongest Fastener. You wont regret it. I have a 32 inch tv and a cable box. Sorry, dont not use the second shelf.

It'd be best if you could install it into studs, but if you mount it flush to the floor I'd assume heavy duty drywall anchors would do the job nicely.

I have mine mounted on dry wall using anchors that screw into the wall. No drilling required. You can get them from Home Depot or lowes. Easy to use.

I mounted them in studs to be on the safe side. While anchor screws may hold the unit tight against the wall, I would not want to risk having my two boards come crashing to my concrete garage floor. Good luck!

Hi. I gave this to a friend of mine last Christmas and he went to Lowes and bought wall anchors and stainless screws to mount the unit, as where he wanted it placed did not have wall studs located where needed. He says they worked great.

You can adjust the mount to anywhere you want. All you need to do is go buy drywall anchors and hang it up.

I thought about it, then I moved my TV over so I could line it up with the stud. There is just too much weight on this, even empty, for it to be trusted hanging from just anchor bolts in dry wall. I would avoid it if you can.

The side pair of mine are mounted with the drywall anchors they sell at Home Depot, the metal ones that hold like 40lbs.. the description will have their weight, but I guess it depends on if there was something previously in the drywall, as to if it will hold or not.. sometimes patching isn't strong enough.

any stainless steel would work... the 18/8 listed in the description refers to the gauge of metal, just search for "stainless steel sheet metal" and you should find something. just remember that you'll need at least 2 holes in it.... for mounting

Make sure you use. GOOD drywall anchors (toggles or similar). Mine is mounted with no stud. Holding strong for a year fully loaded (about 10 heavy duty AS pots & pans)

3/8" drywall is the thin stuff. If you can get a nice board that would go with your wall that you can anchor into the drywall with at least 6-8 anchors it would greatly strengthen the rack installation. Might be worth a try. I have done tank-less waterheaters this way but would be best to find what studs you can.

Please look at this website http://www.monoprice.com/ I think its the type of wall mount you need they have a really good selection

You can install in drywall if you use better anchors than provided. get molly bolts or better toggle bolts. You can support 50lbs+ using good toggle bolts - you can get them from your local hardware store.

Go down to your local hardware store and tell them what you are trying to do - they will point you towards the right hardware. Briefly, you're going to want a HSS (high speed steel) or a titanium carbon-coated drill bit and the right screws. Make sure you're not exceeding weight specs (for the mount OR your wall)
