Can this only be used on finished walls or can you just attach it to the studs on unfinished walls as well? My garage isn't finished on the inside.

It would be fine either way. You can mount it on drywall or on exposed, unfinished walls. If you don't have finished walls, you might want to consider a large pegboard instead. It would fill up some wall space and may be nicer in the long run.

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)

It's best of you put it into a stud. Putting anything into drywall only can be pulled out easy. Like when you hang a picture and its not in a stud, you can move the nail in and out with your hand. I put mine on a porch so it was mounted on a wooden beam.

It is not necessary to mount this into studs on your concrete wall. However, you will need to make sure you purchase the correct mounting hardware for your application.

It is designed to be installed post construction. So you would not mount it to a stud. It gets mounted to dry wall. There is an anchor in each corner that holds it in place to the drywall. There is actually no holes on the recess box to mount it to a stud.

I have mine on concrete, I'm sure it would make a mark on drywall. I would recommend having it pushing on a board or plate of some kind to increase tension without pushing through the ceiling.

Yes, I hung the cabinet in my unfinished basement on open studs. We use them to store canned jams, and sauces from our garden. I needed a back to keep stuff from falling out the back especially after adding an extra shelf. I had some 3/8 ply that I attached to the back. The whole job took less than an hour. The cabinet does come with an upper and lower back nailing strip that I didn't use,

I'm sure you would have to trim the Great Stuff after it dried. That's a good idea, I think I'll try that around my garage walls. Thanks!!

Yes use studs for dry wall. The matal bars are to heavy. But when done right it looks perfect

I simply screwed it to the wall with the screws supplied. It's better if you can locate the wall studs or you will need to use plastic sheetrock fasteners after drilling the appropriate sized holes.

No, I think that's one of the great things about this product. You can hang it at any height you want, as long as you make sure you find studs to secure it to the wall. In fact, we took the two rails and put them on opposite sides of the garage for two different reasons and they are at different heights. We added peg board under the Holey rails that we mounted on 1x2's that not only protect the wall underneath but also provide additional hanging space. We really like this product and the garage has never looked better.

No it attaches to the wall in the front. You just find the stud and use the screws to attach it to the wall. They also give you a screw that holds it to the drywall also because it will fit just on one stud. It won't go to the other stud. So you use one stud on one side and the drywall screw on the other.

It only works on wall material that has been nailed or screwed in place. The stud finders are magnetic, so they work be being attracted to metal.

When possible always use a stud....When using drywall as a base, for hanging, it all depends on the weight of what you are hanging.

I think you could but would imagine it will cause holes in the drywall eventually from movement with use. Maybe if you finished a piece of wood and mounted that first and then mounted the wheels onto the wood.

You don't need to mount it to a stud. Mounting the bracket to standard thickness sheetrock is fine as long as you use mollies. This allows a lot more flexibility in terms of where you can locate the board and I've been mounting my boards this way for 30 years. Mollies with 30-50 lbs capacity are fine (use one for each of the 2 screws). You might want to consider using a back board, though, particularly if you or anyone else likely to use the board is a beginner (protects your wall !!). Good luck.

Oh course you can bolt it to studs! Just use the big lag bolts that came with it.
