Must this be strapped to a wall? I was going to use this in an unfinished basement with cement walls.

I strapped it in our unfinished basement cause we had wood beams but if you have a flat surface i don't see it being a problem to not strap it.

I would say it does not have to be but is strongly suggested for overall stability.

The cost, time, & aggravation (which is so minimal) of tying the rack to the wall will be returned to you a million fold if something goes awry and your rack dumps your wine. I, too, think it prudent to secure it to a wall. I did.

I did not double stack my rack. As "half" racks they seem very stable. I live in earthquake country and I'm not sure they'd stay upright in a good shake.

Strictly speaking it is not necessary if you do n you don't live in a earthquake prone area and load it carefully from the bottom. But fully loaded it will likely have over 3000 dollars worth of wine on it. Thus I think it is prudent to secure it to a wall.

I never attached mine to the wall as it was stable enough to stand in the position I put it. It is very portable - folds up nicelyno experience with wall attachment.

I don't think so. It's got to be screwed to a wall or something more resistant bc of the weight it will support.

If you mean you will be sitting on the floor and you stick this between you and the wall, it would stay in place until you moved, but you can't attach it to the wall in any way. It would just fall over. Not sure I know what you mean.

I mounted this product to the center beams supporting my basement. If you are going to mount it to the foundation wall I would pre-drill into the concrete and use the concrete anchors to support the chin up bar.

Hey I just attached to my any door frame in ground floor. It does not have any issue. You can try it in your basement.

No, you do not need to attach it to the wall, it's very sturdy with a lot of space. I'm thinking about getting another one.

It's not designed to be wall mounted. I suppose if you were handy you could rig something. However, it's quite heavy, so whatever you did would need to be capable of supporting considerable weight.

It recommends attaching to the wall, and I think it even came with the hardware enclosed. It's a heavy piece and I wouldn't trust it not to topple over.

Depends on the weight of the frame and the surface you are hanging it on. I used some small brackets to attach it to the wall and they hold it securely. The material isn't that heavy and if the frame isn't heavy, it doesn't take much to attach this.

Yes. Mine is in the basement against the wall but not attached. So far, so good.

Only if it was anchored to the wall. It is a little flimsy. It is probably not wide enough either.

yes, use a brace attaching the back to the wall. the top is a recessed well which would hide the brace.

i dont know. if bought for my sons leaky basement walls. He did not mention that it was really heavy so i will assume its not too heavy.

You can snap the retaining collar and straps and push the whole thing inside the wall, but you'll still have the 1/2" hole you'll need to fill/paint. The only way I know to have a zero-impact wall hanging is to use the 3M adhesive hangars. But they can't hold anywhere near the load that these can. (we use these to mount 80" TVs, which obviously would never work with adhesive mounts)

Yes, I imagine that these would work fine when fastened to a concrete/rebar wall, with two caveats: 1) Ensure that the holding strength of the fastener is sufficient for the load you are hanging. 2) Before attaching the Quakehold hook to the wall with the anchor/screw, "set" the concrete anchor by attaching a small block of plywood to the wall; then, remove the screw, and attach the Quakehold hook to the wall. This will help to prevent squeezing (and possibly weakening) the plastic quakehold hook. NOTE: Use block of wood is same thickness as the quakehold hook.

No.I bought it for a small bathroom I had installed in my basement. It's well made and the sink is excellent. Needs to be fastened to the wall. Sink is very heavy. The unit would fall over without wall fastening.
