The description mentions 16" studs, but I saw one review that mentioned that it would work all the way up to 24". Can anyone confirm this, please?

Yes you could put the screws in the last holes and that would be 24 inches. I have mine at 16 because that is where my studs were! Most houses the studs are 16 on center, I've not heard of any being 24 on center, what I would do is use two 2x6s and run them across the 24 in gap and go from there! The only thing with that is your TV would be 1 5/8 inches farther out than just the plain mount!

Yes I can confirm this. Although the wall studs in my house are 16" there was a stud slightly right of center so to mount my 47" tv and have it centered on the wall over the fireplace required a plate that was wider than the standard size. This worked as the wall plate is over 24" wide with the last set of holes on 24" centers. Have had the TV mounted for over 2 years and no problems

As answered before, they are 16" centers. However, since you have 24" center wall studs, I would just find a nice piece of wood and mount it to the studs as a ledger board and mount the rack to that. It will be super strong without straining any drywall. Could finish nicely or just make it narrow and almost totally hide it

Studs are normally spaced 16" apart on center.The unit fits in between very tight.There's approx. 1" of lip or flange area around the opening.Nice unit.

Hey Paul, the holes are approximately 16" apart from center. That is the standard stud width inside your home, but that's not always the case. My stud width inside my was about 17", so I got a couple of 2x4s and bridged the studs. The I installed the unit. I hoped this helped.

They have a lay-out guide in the box, but mine is new construction. Between studs 13"-15" and length 16"-18", also they have on line their install book. My numbers are from off the top of my head

A standard wall stud will do. I believe i have mounted it onto a 12" stud. Try to mount it on you larges stud if you have varied studs. Not sure if they come this small but i believe it would work on a 6" too

Hello Joan, my experience with this mount is that you have to mount it on the studs, the dimensions are on the box or in the description before you purchase it

What I did was to mount a 1" X 6" X 32" first to the wall to pick up two studs, then mounted my clothes line to the 1 by 6. That worked just fine. If your studs are 24" on center, then you would have to mount a 1" X 6" X 48" board to the studs, then attach the clothes line. BTW, I'm well satisfied with this clothes line. It's worth the price. I bought a cheaper one first, but returned it. It was junk, not made by Hills.

The thing is 4 feet wide so 24 inch studs should work fine. I have standard studs and it fit fine.

I can tell you its definitely too large to attach all 4 holes to one stud. I have a 20 inch TV mounted only using two holes.

Because of the length and the hole placement you cannot mount them on studs at both ends if they are 16 inch on center studs. The Holey rail comes in 2 4 foot sections, and has more width top to bottom, which means more peg holes.

The rod itself is 24" long. However, once you slide it into each end that supports the rod, it will measure about 23 1/4". They are never exactly 24" when mounted.

you need one long enough to hit the studs,,the one I bought reaches the stud which are 36 inches apart to center it on the wall.It's possible that you may only go 24 inches on a smaller wall.

Yes and no. Upon delivery the shortest width is 32" and that is because this product was designed to be mounted to wall studs, which are usually spaced 16" apart. However, if you're handy, you can probably shorten the tubes to the length that works best for you. Keep in mind, though, that 24" will probably not allow you to mount at least one side, if not both, to wall studs, basically rendering what you're trying to do useless, it'll pull out from the wall.

The bottom of the support brackets (or the top as shown in the picture) have slotted holes where you could screw it directly to a wall without the track. But there are no holes right at the shelf so you will have to drill holes there, especially if the shelf is mounted with the brackets providing support from the bottom and not the top as shown. The shelf is 45 inches long, so that's not going to work with the typical 16" stud spacing. I'd buy the track...

Short answer if I remember correctly - no. If I remember correctly, when I got it, the instructions say something along the lines of "must attached to at least 2 studs 16 inches apart, but has 3 sets of holes. If I remember correctly the whole backplate was not much wider than 16" so one set of the screws would have gone straight into the drywall. I wasn't about to do that, so there was a third (smaller) hole on the other sets so I just put 3 screws into 2 studs that were 16" apart. Hopefully that makes sense and answers your question. Sorry for the long answer.

The horizontal distance between the two sets of holes is exactly 16 inches. Perfect for most studded walls. I have installed two of them and have had no issues to date. Does that answer your inquiry?
