Must I mount this? I want to put it in the basement but all the walls are concrete. Thanks!

No, it does not need to be mounted as long as you lean it up against a wall. That is the way I have it in my basement.

No you don't have to mount it. I would just recommend putting the heaviest bins on the bottom to anchor it down.

We have did anchor ours. Whether you need to depends on what you are going to be storing. Heavy boxes obviously go on the bottom and lighter on top but there will be some play in the unit. If you have children who may try to use it as a jungle gym or pull on it, I would suggest anchoring. You can get screws designed for concrete use at any hardware store. We have 3 of these units, two large and the smaller for banker boxes. Love them.

I have three of the in my basement and none are mounted. We have them full so they are not moving at all. These have allowed the basement to be so much more organized!

I have not mounted mine; HOWEVER, I have two units and I have used the mounting rods to connect the two units back to back, which provides support. *IF* all your heavy pieces are on the bottom and you use the top only for light pieces, you'll probably be okay. *BUT* if you plan to put heavy bins on the top rack, you'll want to anchor the unit.

mount it to the wall. It will be very secure. It comes with a very good bracket. It is very heavy.

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!

Yes. Mine is in the basement against the wall but not attached. So far, so good.

Yes you can use this in a basement. Will stay still on concrete surface.. My daughters hit into ours in the garage.

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.

Dear German, This mount needs to be attached to wood studs, brick, or concrete. It is not meant for a mounting application directly into drywall. Thank you, Value Max

You should be able to install this to a concrete wall for sure. You will need concrete anchors to make this happen though. From what I have looked up, you should be good to go.

It's not meant to mount on a wall. It is meant to go in a rack. I plug it in and lay it on the floor.

I use mine in the finished basement. I have had no issues with it.Sorry I can't help you with your concern.

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.

We used ours in the basement. If you put the back edge up against the wall and then just place a couple of heavy objects over the corners it works fine.

HI Sorry to say this cannot be mounted to the ceiling. The bar locks into the end bracket when mounted in the door frame.Having said I installed mine on the main support beam in the basement. Used a 4x4 and lag bolts. Cut and mount 4x4 below the beam but not to low that you walk into it. I did this rather than a door frame.

There is no "mounting" hardware with this item. You could throw it over a beam in the garage or over a solid-closing door, but it is not designed to mount to a side wall although I suppose you could rig something up. It would have to be a pretty sturdy anchor and the wall stud, I believe, would require additional anchoring as well since the pressure applied to that anchor would be quite great. IMO, I wouldn't try to install it on a wall stud.

We have it free standing in the garage on a concrete floor, unattached to the wall, and it works greatIf you wanted to attach to wall for safety, that would probably work fin as well.Hope that helps

I personally drilled holes in the bottom and bolted mine to the concrete floor. There were 2 holes there already but I wanted to put in 4. I also put two through the back so it could not be rocked. It is not going anywhere!!

This item produces a lot of pressure when you are winding, I think it would be better to mount it on lets say a 2x12 then attach it to the wall using the proper bolts. I have 120 ft of hose on it and it holds it very well. I did mount it on a 2x12 then painted it and used lag bolts, then on to wood using the same, it holds well. I think putting it in to concrete it will pull out with all the pressure. Good luck.
