Would steel studs like the 350S work with this if I wanted to make it stronger?

Don't think it would make it more ridged, but would make it stronger! I used mine as a double and made it a greenhouse. I had some mods to stiffen it up in place of plywood sides.

you could make it a lot stronger, buy inserting a good fitting tube inside the tube, this would require drilling

Well, it depends. You can install it into studs (which is recommended), but it really isn't built for that and I would not recommend it. Structurally it would tolerate maybe 30 pounds for a fair amount of time (an extremely non-educated guess), but it's just NOT intended for this use. If I were doing cast iron, I would use individual, stylish chains with hooks suspended so that each item ended up fairly parallel at the bottom with the others and spaced nice and proportionately. Hope this helps.

Probably if you bolt a couple of strong brackets to a stud, then you'd have something to keep the resistance of the bar tight and inplace.

Should be more than capable I've loaded aprox 350 on mine and it didn't budge

Hi! I believe so.. It would depend on where the studs are in your wall as too how close they will be to each other. Also, you can drill your own wholes in stall (not use the ones given) too if you like. Deb D

Not sure , but I suppose it would determined by the weight factor the metal beams can support. You might check with a contractor for a better answer.

I have those and they look ok strong. But I did not put close to 300 lbs on it...maybe 100-150 max so far, and it handled ok.So, good luck.

I was surprised how strong mine turned out using the provided hardware. Mounting as you say would work well, if there is no stud, it will hold most tools, shovels, etc one could fit on it, mounting just to Sheetrock.

Yes. This could work depending on the weight you put on the edges of the racks. The supports 24" apart would serve to hold a great amount of weight over the center of the racks. You could always go into attic space (if available) and place a support (2x4 or equivalent to joist) between the joists to which you could bolt the metal supports.

Yes , that would work. The holes in each panel are identical, so they would be lined up with the studs properly.

I guess if you mounted it in studs. It is pretty heavy and takes a little muscle.

I intended to anchor it securely enough for incidental grabs with larger screws than provided- into studs. I think it would have been strong enough, but I would not want to routinely put much weight on it. You can set the space between the support brackets wherever you like, which should help with bending of the rod. It is not a solid rod and is maybe 3/8" diam.

James, Yes they are for 3500 lbs axles and the studs are there. The studs are fine thread and metric. You will need nuts for them.

I don't see why not. It will make it easier to mount to the ceiling and give you more options for hitting a stud to bolt the 2x4 into.

Geez, the distance wouldn't be a problem so I guess it would depend on what you'd want to use for anchors and hardware. I'm not overly familiar with metal studs. If you're confident you have a good solid hardware that would fit the bill I'd say it'd be no problem. Is it in an exposed application or covered in drywall?

Yes.However I would suggest the stainless steel version , and make sure it is mounted to the stud in the wall.
