Is this okay to mount on a non-load bearing wall?My studs r 24'' apart too. I was going to hang a piece of plywood.

Yes I think so. I would put a 2x6x55" or so. You woul want to catch three studs so it does not rock the wall. Let it hang over each stud a little so when you screw a 3" screw through the 2x4 in to the stud it does not split the end of the board. I have a 100lb bag hanging and the wall does not even creek. You would need three 2x6's going across. All the lag bolts would go through the bracket, 2x6 Sheetrock and then stud. 4"lag screw works perfect

I'm not sure about non-load vs a stud, but he main part of mine (the middle) is the only part that's on a stud and it holds a 150-lb bag without a problem.

Should be fine, however plywood will not work. Run some 2x4s between the studs for the supports to mount on. It will pull out of plywood.

You can mount it on a non-load bearing wall, but instead of plywood, I used two 2x4's. I cut them to fit the length and height of the mount in an upside down 'T' shape, mounted the 2x4's in the studs, and then attached the mount to that. It was sturdy enough for me to hang on it with no issues.

If your walls have studs at every 16" its good. But, if its a newer building or in a commercial space, there is a good chance its 24" spacing and it would not be the safest thing to do. You'll have to anchor part of the bracket just to the dry wall with anchors. I wouldn't use one of those plastic ones most people use with wall decor, but an actual toggle. Maybe a professional would have a different opinion.

I mounted mine to drywall using a 100lb wall anchor. Bit of overkill but never have to worry about something going wrong. A stud would work perfect as well. The rubber feet work great to make a nice secure and sturdy base against the wall.

Considering the weight of the unit I would say that at least 2 of the mounting screws should be screwed into a stud. Since our home is 250 years old I ran all 4 screws in to the 1" thick chestnut planks under the plaster.

Well, I would say that I chose this model because of the 3 screw point mounting. I just figured it would hold better than the 2 screw wooden mount. But if you like the cosmetics of the wood over the steel, then I would say as long as you hit a stud, you should be fine.

The mount lines up with 12 or 16" spaced studs. Mine were 24" apart so I had to improvise a bit.

I was able to mount on 16" studs. There isn't much room after you hang tv so be sure to have all plug ins before attaching.

The instructions say not to, but The shelf is really sturdy once hung up, so I think it would be okay. We wanted it wall mounted, so didn't try.

Hi Jean, I dont quite understand your question. Are you trying to mount this on a wall? I am not mounting mine. I just leave it free standing on the ground.

There is a bracket to hang unit on the wall. You can use that with some anchors if going into wall board. You may also want to use a 1 X 4 X 16" board and install that between the studs and then hang unit on the board for stability.

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!

You can do that but it wil be more forward from the wall. Since I used mine on a smaller TV in the bedroom I found the studs to be farther apart then what the support holes on the bracket allowed. I placed two 1"x2" wood studs across longer than TV bracket. I secured them to the studs and was able to move the bracket more to the left or right. Support for weight was still there since the wood was secured to the studs. You can't really see the wood since its 1" and the TV covers it. Hope this helps

Don't know how that is possible because the mount points are 16" apart. There are 3 of them, one in the middle and one on each side. If you have 24' center studs and you put the center mount point there, the side mounts will not hit your studs.

Not if the picture is less than the max strength of the hanger. I use this type for all my artwork, light and heavy, because they do not leave a large nail hole in the wall when removed. If you're uncertain as to whether it will hold a picture of 10-12 lbs, for example, use a 20 lb hanger. I have none of my hangers into wall studs. All my studs are stainless steel. I hope this helps.

I wouldn't. It weighs a lot and it will be under a lot of stress. If I were you, I would mount a 4-2"x6"'s horizontally across your wall, attaching them to your studs, and then mount the pull-up bar through the studs on one side and into just the 2"x6"'s on the other side.

MT is right; you need to mark the studs first. I would not use sheetrock mounting options for this, as you want it to be able to support the weight. Use a stud finder to mark the studs. they are generally 24" apart.

NO! The screws supporting the rack have to be mounted well above the center of gravity or the excess load will be placed on the rack instead of transferring that load to the stud in your wall.
