I have a fiberglass surround. Do i fasten this to the fiberglass? How much space do i need between the fiberglass and the drywall to use this?

Yes. It's like a great big drywall anchor. You drill a big hole into the shower fiberglass and into the drywall. I had no space between the fiberglass and drywsll to deal with. be sure your measurements are right for your holes before you attach your bar. They really need to be exact.

Yes. You should be okay provided the drywall is that thick. I would recommend hilti toggle bolts instead of regular anchors though.

I was able to attach to dry wall ceiling using long screws with sheet rock anchors. It ends up about 2 inches from ceiling because space is needed for transformer.

yea thats what i had to do was screw it into the drywall... not the best way to fasten plate but it worked. i was going to go back and find a different way to fasten it to the wall .but so far its held so i just left it alone.

It can be installed in a fiberglass show. Just locate the wall stud, and drill,carefully, to place the screws. It comes with all hardware you need

Mine are mounted in a tiled shower, but my assumption would be that it would work just fine on fiberglass, too. I'm basing that on the method used to "attach" it to the wall. There is no adhesive or even suction involved. Instead, you place it where you want it (there are thin foam strips on the back so nothing will be scratched), make sure it is level and then just press on the "bar" at the front which keeps the pressure on and holds it in place. It's almost unbelievably clever; mine have both been in place for a number of months and seem as secure as the day I put them in. Removal is equally simple. You'll love these things -- fabulous!

There is a flange around the grid, which slides under the frame that hold the glass. If you want both inter. and ext., you need to order double the amount, otherwise, exterior should be used.

There was def some room to give when I used this on standard drywall, but I couldn't give you an exact depth the screws allowed

Yes, I'm sure you can put this in a fiberglass shower. Just mount it on the brackets and you're good to go. Also, I would bet you could find an arm extension somewhere, I've just never wanted or looked for one. Best of luck.

I installed this in a wall with 2.5" studs, rather than standard 3.5" studs, and it worked fine. You should have at least 2.5" behind the drywall.

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.

If mounting to the ceiling, I would install a 3/4inch piece of plywood 12 x 12 inches and I would anchor the mounting bracket to the 3/4inch plywood and the ceiling using 3 1/2 inch bolts or wood screws.I hope this helps? Good Luck!

Definitely need to frame it out in studs, including one in the middle. Not hard to do at all. Use long drywall screws, seems to work well...

No problem. Use drywall anchors such as the ones in the picture of this link. Use four anchors and you will have plenty of support.http://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/06845747?src=pla&cid;=PLA-Google-PLA+-+Test&CS;_003=7867724&CS;_010=06845747

I have this mount directly to drywall with very good anchors from home depot. DO NOT use the simple compression anchors. Get the WingIts World's Strongest Fastener. You wont regret it. I have a 32 inch tv and a cable box. Sorry, dont not use the second shelf.

Maximum screw placement is 17". If your studs are 18" OC, you can make it work. Pre-drill pilot holes at outward angle of about 20 degrees. If your space is 18" inside the studs, you'll need to use an anchor on one side. My preference is the Hilti Toggler Bolt. Use a lag screw in one stud and space the other anchor as far apart as possible. This minimizes the distance to the stud. Then install an extra drywall screw in the stud as close as possible to the anchor. The smaller the drywall area between those two points, the stronger it will be. I'd even add a second anchor on that side, 2" closer to the center. If your equipment is heavy though, you might want to purchase something different. Maximum screw placement is 17".

use lead anchors for concrete or lock walls. Try different sizes fr your hardware store to find the right size
