Will this work on a brick wall? I live in a pre-war apartment building.

I wouldn't think so. I think it is only meant for use with sheetrock and doubt it would stick, or even find a stud, through brick.

You can feel a steel stud in a 5/8" sheetrock wall but it will not stick to it. Limited to about 1/4-1/2" of depth.

I think it would work, but, Im not positive about that. For me, it would depend on what is covering the wall..paint or wallpaper.

I've used them on brick (!), though it was only for one day. But the picture being hung was pretty heavy, and it seemed very secure.

I think it would not adhere well to bricks. Using double faced foam tape might be a solution.

I think it would be difficult. As a casual homeowner, I've never had much success at mounting anything to a brick wall. And if you're talking about putting substantial weight on it, I don't see how it could hold. Perhaps some commercial type fastener would do it, but nothing that I'm aware of.

I suppose it can be as long as the brick wall can support the brackets and your body weight. Remember your weight is now distributed perpendicular to the pull up bar but it still should work if the brick wall doesn't buckle not only at the screw insert site but also along the length of the brackets, if that makes sense. The screws are fairly large so a good drill will be needed along with some elbow grease to finish the job. Good luck

Not really. You might make it work if the wall has a very large radius, but you might have problems getting them to stick

You will have to use the appropriate brick wall type anchor which may be plastic or metal-based. I would recommend a screw/anchor combination about 1.5 inches in length to get the proper grip. here is a link to an article that may help: http://www.ehow.com/how_5817520_drill-anchors-brick-wall.html

Yes, command strips stick well to a textured wall. They don't stick to something as rough as brick though.

As long as you mount it to something secure, it works great. They just don't want someone to be able to smash the unit off the wall, so brick, concrete block, metal studs are all great. Wood, siding - not so good. The unit will probably survive but your wall wouldn't.

I don't see why not; but, the only thing I'd be certain of is that the brick wall is strong enough to support the weight and that you use wall anchors specifically suited for concrete/brickwork. There is a great amount of 'pull' against the wall, and you may run the risk of pulling out a wall anchor that is not securely in place. I'd check with a knowledgeable contractor or hardware store representative first to make sure you select the best wall anchor for this type of application in addition to knowing about the integrity of the wall you are working with. That's why, with sheetrock-covered walls, one is advised to firmly anchor the bracket into a wall stud for maximum strength. Hope this helps.

It does not appear the hardware provided would be appropriate for a brick wall. I am sure it can be done. The description for what it can be attached to does not mention brick.

I would say yes. BUT .... you need to "properly" fix it to the wall. Consider the following as one possible solution: Hopefully your bricks are of good quality. Buy some masonary anchors ... the type that have a nut on the end and expand in the hole as you tighten them up. They should be at least two inches deep into the brick, so at least 2 1/2 inches long overall. You would need 4 or 6 of them depending on the size of your TV. Also get some 3/4" outside diameter washers and the same quantity of spring washers ... one for each anchor. (If you don't want to use spring washers, then use a NYLOC nut on each anchor.) Mark the hole positions, then use a mortor or concrete drill bit to drill the holes. (The size of the masonary drill bit required should be shown on the packaging for the anchors). Once the holes are drilled, lightly tap the anchors into the holes to the correct depth and remove the nuts from each. Do not damage the thread while tapping them into the holes. Leaving ther nut on tapping into place will ensure that the threads remain undamaghed. Put the mount plate over the bolts, then add washers and then the nut to each. Tighten the nuts ... but do not over tighten them. There may even be some other similar innovative anchoring products available at your hardware store. Someone there should be able to advise you of the best anchor for your project. The idea is to get a strong anchor without damaging the bricks.

Yes. It will work. Actually have mine leaving against the wall at the moment.

I'm not sure it would stick to brick I have it on the wall in my dining room. The material doesn't look like it would stick to brick

Yes, it will work on drywall, though mounting on the studs is best. On one of my drywall mounts I had to replace the plastic anchor with a molybolt.

No, But It Will Work Fine On Brick, You Will Need To Pre Drill Holes With A Masonry Bit.
