Has anyone mounted this on a cinder block wall? Tips?

My wall is concrete. I don't know ANYTHING about construction so I assume this is what you mean?

Yes, with proper fasteners, if you actually mean concrete block. The mounting flanges have decorative covers that are removable. I would suggest GRK Caliburn screws for mounting to concrete block, and use the largest that will fit thru the mounting flange slotted holes. In actual cinder block, I'd be afraid of anything holding the weight except perhaps the winged fasteners. If that is your situation, I'd consult with someone who knows more about cinder block from a structural perspective -- that's beyond my reach.

My brother did, But you have to build a framework for it to attach to. It by itself is not designed for a wall.

Yes,I did....go to Home Depot or the like & get some 2 inch wide Industrial Strength Velcro & put a full ength strip top & bottom or even around all 4 sides & do the matching strips on your wall or wherever & you're good to go. Tip; once you apply the strips to the wall & to the Unit let both fully adhere over 24 hours say,before you mount the piece. Technically you don't have to but I find the Velcro sticky side adheres better long term if you don't immediately mount the Unit.Good Luck,CJ

what is behind the stucco ? if you have block mount it with the same as brick-concrete screws, etc, for wood use lag bolts, they hold very well but as with any mount roll it up in high wind or heavy rain unless you lower the pitch to 15% or more

Well there is not any specs for it being mounted on a wall but I actually was going to so this until I decided to go another route. If I was going to do it I would use some liquid nails and depending on what material you are putting it on like brick, or stucco, I would just use a couple pieces of metal and use the liquid nails on the back of the metal to glue it on the wall and then use the liquid nails for the trellis to the metal and it would be fine for many years because it is so light that is really all you need and plus there would be no drilling. Very simple good luck!

I used the DIY product on a cement foundation not a cinder block wall. However I would think it would work. I've had great results. during a heavy rain storm I would fill my 10 gallon shop vac 4 or 5 times, Now no leak!

The grids should be sturdy enough to hold fairly light objects if they are stacked horizontally with cinder blocks between them. That is, I think they would work if I'm understanding what you are saying. (I made some bookshelves with boards and stacked cinder blocks when I was younger.) The cinder blocks will probably damage the finish on the Gridwalls, but that might not matter unless the chance of rust is a concern.If you are wanting to make some well-ventilated shelves to hold wet items or maybe potted plants or (??) then I think they should work well. They will flex slightly, or at least the 24x48 ones that I bought will, but with adequate support they are very sturdy.

The instructions include for mounting on Sheetrock walls, and includes hardware for this. Also included is hardware for mounting on cement and cinder block walls. I mounted on Sheetrock and used 2 butterfly wall anchors that I purchased separately which I believe hold best on hollow walls where I can't screw into a stud.

May work; I'd recommend a stud mount, though to avoid any risk of pulling out your drywall. Also, depends on how thick your drywall is (1/2" vs 3/4"). With my bike (about 28lbs), I have the rear wheel resting on a cinder block so that there's no pull on the wall at all. Hope this helps.

We hung it on an outside brick wall using ibolts and masonry anchors. Florafelt also has some basic instructions on their website at... www.florafelt.com/guide.html

I mounted some brackets for a shelf in cinder blocks (not stone but should work unless it's granite or something) and you will need a masonry drill bit for your pilot holes and specific type of screw (can't remember exactly), perhaps 'masonry' screw. Mine were blue (anodized?) and they have and will never come loose. It is..ahem.. rock hard.

I would recommend using a mason drill bit and mason screws to install this on a cement wall. When you put your rods in and you have to give a little bit of a pull when you take your rods of the rack, so I don't think glue will last long or really work out well IMO.

You might need a longer screw but it should mount on any surface. The block is about 1/2 inch thick.

Yes. I mounted it with the included 'double sided tape' to a painted brick wall in my laundry room above the utility sink and it has held up for almost 6 months now. I did no prep work (i.e. clean wall with alcohol). I use it several times a week. The area where its mounted is very humid and I live in Florida. It doesn't feel like its going to fall off any time soon.It did come with screws and dry wall anchors but I didn't use it.

For that you'd want a lead anchor with a screw, and washers to secure it. You'd measure where the screws go. Then drill holes in the cement or brick. Place the wall mount up on the wall. Then screw in the lead anchors with the washers and it should hold up fine. I would think you'd want 2" lead anchors just because that'd hold the weight a little better. And if you talk to someone at Lowe's, home depot, or Ace, etc. They should know what you're looking for and be able to help you out. And get a friend to help you mount it. So one person can hold the wall mount while the other screws in the lead anchors.
