How strong is the fit of the mouldings? My walls aren't straight & perfect. Will this make the mouldings flush to wall? Or do I need 16 Gauge?

as long as you have something to nail into,such as a stud or header board behind the sheetrock, 18 gauge will hold just fine.

It's not more forgiving. You should only use 5/16 if you need to match up to a adjoining floor height. The only difference I recall is the 5/16 required more thinset because it's deeper.

The sides of the brackets don't need to be exactly centered. Mine is offset by about 8 inches and it is fine - it just may affect the range of motion of the bracket once installed. I picked this bracket specifically because I had a corner with very little wall on one side and I needed an offset solution.

I think the peg length will work with 16 gauge, but the pegs that hold the barrel(s) are slanted up. I just tried my 12 gauge double barrel shotgun. Pegs long enough but gun wants to roll/rotate bc of the slanted pegs. Not sure if two straight pegged brackets would be better? I understand that the slant directs the gun towards wall preventing possibility of falling though.

You can adjust to any width and I put a 16" deep piece on. No problem. But if you don't square up the slides exactly, they will fight you. Just can't seem to get them to glide smooth.

You would definitely need to anchor both end to the wall and possibly think about something to add rigidity on the straight expanse. We set our up as a "U" shape around the dog door in the garage and had to add aluminum angle iron to strengthen anywhere two panels were straight

16 gauge will work...if you have a problem you may want to go up to 14 gauge

I agree with Rich. They are basically fiberglass triangles, so as long as you use enough adhesive caulk to make them flush against the walls they should work.

I Binged the question and found the answer, I would use the 16 gauge wire, especially if you putting the time into making them. I hope that this answers your question.

I would check with a professional carpenter if you have or will be putting in a wall unit. It's a different project from what I took on as a DIY.

Aloha A C, Mine fit great between the wall studs that were sixteen inches on center. A little sloppy so I used some shims on one side due to it being an older condo and built in Maui. Height is no problem, just make sure you know where the wires are at in the wall. Depth will be a problem installing it in a 2x4 wall with insulation. Your will have to cut the insulation out behind the safe. It took me less than fifteen minutes to install it. I love it. Aloha, Captain

I'll tell you one thing. I had a 14 inch rough in very carefully measured. We ended up using a very thick tile for the walls. Then we ended up not being able to use the 14R because there wasn't enough room anymore. We used the 12 and that works fine with about a 1 inch gap behind the tank.

Unfortunately I don't know what size the wire I used is. It came with the house but is was a tight fit. Other reviews I read said no to 16 gauge wire. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

It depends on how curved the wall is. If I were doing that Id be concerned about the paper (because these are just thin cardboard) creasing. I've had some spares that I didn't use just leaning against the wall and they have naturally curved a little bit.I hope this helpsCraig

The brackets themselves are plenty strong. It's going to depend on your fasteners. If you can drive all your screws into solid wood like a good mirror frame and wall joists, I think these would be plenty strong. If you can't screw directly into joists, or you just want to make absolutely sure nothing is going to move, just use 1-2 additional brackets on your items. Oh, and feel free to use longer screws if you want. (I did all of the above when I hung a heavy picture.)
