If I wanted to screw this into my garage ceiling will it fit into a 2 by 6. I will run a 2 by 6 across the studs. It will only hold 125 pounds

No, it won't fit on a 2x6. The unit has 4 bolts in the back of it. The bolt pattern is wider than a 2x6 and the bolts are short. I think a 2x10 would be wide enough but you would need some longer bolts. I mounted mine to a metal plate and then attached that to the ceiling.

I hung mine on a steel pipe and secured the pipe to the 2x6 beams. It would be hard to attach it directly.

Yes it would but you would have to use longer bolts. I think they ar 7/16 or 1/2 bolts.

An easier way to do it would be to just lay a 2" steel pipe across top. The brackets would fit right over that. That's the way I did mine.

Not sure if that would work or not. I screwed mine into sheetrock, and it works great holding 100lbs. You may want to check with the manufacturer to see if it is recommended. As long as you are not hanging something very heavy, it should work fine.

I think that depends on how well it is fastened to the studs. I purchased extra hooks and have 11 pieces (maxed out on space) on it with no problem.

It is fairly heavy, should have an exact number in the the shipping information. There is no way I would mount this without going into a stud, NO. It is mirrored in the back, so no screws through the back

My husband said a 2x6 would be fine. The mounting screws centered at 28 and 31 1/2 from the floor.

It will not hold if screwed into sheetrock only....I am sure that our ceiling beams and a purchased bracket for mounting were used to mount the vent. We had to use it as a recirculating unit, rather than vented to the outside. It was a big job to install and our electrician did most of the job. He special ordered the bracket but I couldnt give you more info. We have had the unit for 2 yrs and I amvery happy with it.

Hopefully your cross support in the ceiling is at least a 2x6. If you are lucky it is in a position that will work. Use lag bolts sufficiently big enough to support the swing and the person sitting in it or what ever you are hanging. You might need to put in a brace between the joists Which may not be aesthetically appealing.

Should be able to as you are not putting more than 50 lbs on the pulley system and the two brackets are spaced enough apart that it should not be a problem ... assuming you get the anchor screw in the centre of the ceiling stud/joist. Also, you are not likely to swing the bike once up, thus likely will not torque the studs. Cross members will strenghten the set up and not really a lot more work for the peace of mind if it really bugs you ... hope that helps

you must screw the hangar board to the studs in the wall.By doing so you can hang your mantle on it and put what ever you want on it.It will support a lot of weight.

You will have to mount it to a 2x4 or similar then mount it to ceiling. I would use 2x4 pices to extend Joist then mount strait o. Extentions. Hope this helps ya!

I don't think you would have any problem. I use these in my garage to hold my kayaks. My largest one is 14 ft and two hooks work perfectly. You have to screw them in on your studs of course. They are very sturdy.

Hello Baron I believe it the weight is around 60-70lbs. What I have done just to be sure it will not fal down I have added some support in the ceiling(couple pieces of 2X4 added between joist) so there is a place to drive screws into(there are two steel( crossed) bars that you will have to mount it to the ceiling). I guess it depends on the structure/layout of the ceiling where you will be installing it. Hope that helps. M

Folks, I know instinct tells you to install this on studs, but the huge drywall anchor system really can and does hold 500lbs as advertised as long as you install it right and the drywall is not later damaged. Its good engineering (I am a professional engineer) and a good solution where you don't have two studs at the perfect places. I weigh over 200 lbs and it holds me up just fine.

I used drywall screws (instead of the screws that come with it), and it seems pretty secure in the drywall. The mounting holes are about 28" apart, so you will not be able to get both sides in a stud. It's not that heavy though, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Screw it into the ceiling that is what I did and it works perfectly! If you stick it with adhesive it can fall & break I think :)

My studs did not line up well either since I mounted mine in corner of garage. I did not use drywall anchors though; I build a frame using 1x6's which I think worked very well. It is super sturdy, and I wasn't worried about seeing the wood mounted on the wall since it was the garage. I have pictures of how I did it, so if you want to see them, just let me know. My email is jshook12@yahoo.com Good luck!

Presuming you have a big enough garage roof, yes. The backboard was too big for the garage roof for me so be sure to take your measurements beforehand.
