Can I nail this onto my plaster wall?

I nailed mine onto wood cabinet doors. It doesn't look the greatest but it works.

Honestly it has been a while since I ordered this that I don't remember if there was hardware included or not. I do know that I used some heavy duty drywall anchors on my plaster walls. Have you tried contacting the seller and asking them the same question?

You can also stick it up with liquid nails, in addition to anchoring in the brick mortar. I have not tried the liquid nails, but it should work because I mounted mine in the hall way using the screws.

I would say no. I had a terrible time getting this on my balcony I finally used bungie cords to hold it in place! I can't see it on a wall maybe a carpenter could figure something out. These are very heavy.

I wouldn't recommend that. A picture stays in place without much resistance. You'll be bumping and pulling on this. Pick up a small set of tile drill bits and screw it into the wall with plastic anchors.

For best results you need to mount onto studs. My unit was mounted on a new doubled stud wall so all 6 screws were solid. No fear of the hand bar pulling out that way. For an existing wall where you don't know if you'll hit a stud I would use the largest expanding anchor I could find. Good luck.

That's a tricky question to answer. First off, the product is flimsy, so it will need a good wall surface behind it to support it. It CANNOT go over bare studs. Second, I'm assuming you will want this in a shower, so unless you want rusty nail or screws within few weeks, I wouldn't allow any nail or screw to show. Nevertheless, if this is just going up in a shower that you have in the barn for where you wash the dogs and animals, nailing it would probably work.

Yes however I would recommend sheeting with something like OSB and then sheetrock to stiffen up the wall a bit.

No, I think this is meant to be for the long haul, and I would ask the home owner before putting up wallpaper because if the walls are older or not in great shape anything coming off may damage the drywall or plaster.

Yes, bolt it to the studs and it should be great...........anchors in the wallboard itself will NOT work!

From what I've read on other sites, you can use it on plaster walls, but you can't use the anchors that come with it.

I would not just hang it with nails, I would use some clips, securely fastened, it is not light weight.

I guess it depends on your wall material, but I used two small nails. It's tricky to get it straight to hang straight though.

I used it with plaster and lathe walls. It is able to find nails quite deep in the wall so it is fit for this purpose.

I'm pretty sure that older lath-and-plaster starts with a steel mesh that covers the entire wall, on top of which the plaster is [skillfully] applied. The mesh is itself nailed to the studs, but I doubt that the gadget can distinguish between steel nails and steel mesh. OTOH it's unlikely that any studfinder will work in that situation.

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