Instructions r vague and came with a ton of screws/bolts. There is concrete behind my plaster wall with a 1 inch gap. What is the best way to install?

There must be some framing between the Plaster (plaster board) and the concrete to which the plaster is attached. If you can find the framing with a stud finder and the spacing of the framing will work with your mount you can drill through the framing into the concrete and use Topcon screws with washers to attach the mount. If the framing is inadequate you can use supplied spacers and drill into the concrete and use Topcon screws with washers to secure the mount. Research Topcon screws to determine if you have access to the hammer drill and masonry bits necessary. screws are available at local hardware stores or big box home stores.

If the gap is between the plaster and the concrete, my suggestion would be to cut a section of plaster out, and put 2x4s or a solid surface, anchored with "red heads" concrete anchors. Then install the kit to the 2x4s. Use lag bolts. Pre drill the holes to avoid splitting the wood. The mount should cover the 2x4s, so you won't see them.

It sounds similar to my case...I have been told that you have to use the drill into the concrete and use the anchors included. I decided to have someone do it for me

The answer using topcon screws is right on..If you cheat and use toggle bolts thru plaster only??? MAYBE only MAYBE.. The topcon,s into the concrete are 100%.Again if you can find the strips the wall board is hanging on ?? That would work if your screws don't push the strips off the concrete..IE screw length is critical..

You can use the screw/hooks into a stud, these come with the rack. If installing to dry wall you will need toggle bolts not supplied.

Mine came with screws. My husband mounted it to the wall. Maybe you should return it to get proper hardware. Once mounted, you are going to love it!

You better have at least 1 screw to the stud, the other 1 you can use heavy duty socket for your drywall.

Hi Larry, to be absolutely honest we hung them unto concrete walls and we had to use special pugs and screws for that. Unfortunately I'm not into those details as I hired a contractor this. What I can say however that I was very happy to see the quality of the product. My kids really enjoy them one is pre teen and the other much younger. There is a lot of info about installation on the net. I'm so sorry that I could not have been of greater assistance. But its not hard to get the info.

you must use anchors designed for plaster - like tapcon or others. product comes with Self Drilling Drywall Anchors and Screws

Definitely need to frame it out in studs, including one in the middle. Not hard to do at all. Use long drywall screws, seems to work well...

I am sorry. I dont really know. I just know how to install in drywall or in a stud.

I have not installed mine yet but according to the instructions there are appropriately space holes already on the back of the unit for mounting to wall studs. You need to supply your own lag screws for that though.

Contact the manufacturer, I'm sure they will send you what you need. I wouldn't try putting it together without the instructions and correct screws

I installed it to a stud in the wall,. The screws that came with it are really long. It works just fine for me. Hopefully that helps!

Take it to your local hardware store they will give you the screws to mount it to the wall

The box I received didn't have the right bolts for a concrete wall. The part you workout is great but I would strongly advise to get a stronger bolt for masonry from you local home improvement store. Also ensure how much weight the bolt is made to endure orit might break under a workout load. I hoe that helps you.

Thats a tough one,i would locate the position of the bracket on wall and use small drill bit to locate studs,if that doesn't work use large enough toggle bolts to secure bracket to wall.good luck

Just put some teflon tape on the threaded end from the wall and screw it on. Very simple installation.

I would contact the seller and ask for one. I rec'd the installation manual both for this and for the wall unit. You need it to place all the parts in their appropriate place since it comes in dissassembled.
