I have plaster walls. Will this rack work?

Depends on whats behind your plaster, but Due to the number of coats and lathing, a plaster wall tends to be thicker than a drywall wall. I have Drywall with a veneer plaster finish.

Yes! We also have plaster walls and my husband had no problem attaching the rack to the wall!! Good luck!!

We have sheet rock. I would go with responses from customers who have plaster for the best advice.

I would recommend using a mason drill bit and mason screws to install this on a cement wall. When you put your rods in and you have to give a little bit of a pull when you take your rods of the rack, so I don't think glue will last long or really work out well IMO.

Should work fine if the ceiling joist is designed to handle the weight. (I've known some joists were decorative only.).

Hello, I think mounting the support arms opposite of the picture would work. You may also have to flip the grid over. The rack is finished on all sides so you wouldn't have to worry about the look either.

as long as you make sure that it's on the studs it will hold otherwise sheetrock is not strong enough to hold heavy load

Absolutely. These are the only kind of hangers I used on both drywall and plaster walls.

Sorry Tyson...I'm not sure if these will work with plastered walls. We have drywalls.

I dout it unless you could fashion some sort of bracket that the rack would fit into. The base is plastic with a bracket that it fits into that goes flush against the wall. You should look for a rack that is designed for an under mount if there is such a critter.

It would depend on the stud spacing. I mounted it to a scrap 2x8 and then screwed the 2x8 to the studs thru my sheetrock wall with 4inch lag screws. It made a nice clean installation. You can drill thru the 2x8 at whatever stud spacing you happen to have.

yes it will fir but just make sure that the walls are nice and strong for it is a very heavy stand. If walls are not strong it may bust them but if there is plenty of studs than there shouldnt be any problems.

The hooks are very study so, yes, I think this would work. However, I would definitely make sure they are attached to a stud, not just drywall.

I honestly don't know what my walls are made out of... Maybe drywall? Is that the same as plaster? I think it is and it seems to work ok, but I don't hang heavy things on it. Jewelry frame, hair tie caddy, small photo frames, and ect...

I would not reccomend installing on drywall unless there is some form timber or other strengthening support behind it. The weight of the installed items if too heavy say 10lb or so may be too much for the plaster board and may pull the attaching point (screws) out. Having said that it depends on what is used to attach the mount as there are some screw in plugs and spring loaded butterfly type nuts etc that could manage the weight. Some amplifiers are fairly heavy, but set top boxes are light and plaster board could hold that with appropriate plugs.

No it will not. This is a very big rack. It is very strong....sit to far from the wall and takes up a good amount of space...but strong.

Yes, but I would not because of the weight and stability issues. In fact, I used three "L" brackets to secure the rack to the wall to ensure it does not move.

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.
