The mounting hardware seems a bit too wide for a vertical 2x4. Where do you mount it?

I mounted mine in my garage without any problems. I noticed the width of the bracket also, so I just put a slight angle on my screws as mounted the bracket. Both screws hit the "meat" of the stud. I also used a magnetic stud finder to find my stud, drew a small line at the center of the stud, then centered the bracket on that line and screwed it in.

Atach bracket to back of board then put screw in 2x4 and hang your board that's it

There is one centered screw head you mount on. There are three metal braces that are spaced in a triangle patern around the back to keep the spacing even against the wall.

I mounted the dart board into a standard dart board enclosure and the enclosure had appropriately spaced holes. Toggle bolts into the sheetrock will also work just fine.

You don't need to mount it to a stud. Mounting the bracket to standard thickness sheetrock is fine as long as you use mollies. This allows a lot more flexibility in terms of where you can locate the board and I've been mounting my boards this way for 30 years. Mollies with 30-50 lbs capacity are fine (use one for each of the 2 screws). You might want to consider using a back board, though, particularly if you or anyone else likely to use the board is a beginner (protects your wall !!). Good luck.

You can also call the manufacture and they will provide details. I call asking about ceiling vs. Vertical wall mounting

I mounted mine to an octagon box. Anyone at Home Depot could help you out with this.

You have several issues here. First, consider what is holding up the 2x4. I wouldn't put a point load of 400 lbs in the middle of a span of say, 8ft. I have mine supported by a 2x8. The bolt hole spacing on the hoist is about 3 1/2 inches, so the 2x8 is wide enough to cover the holes. I bought some longer bolts (2 1/2 i think), bored the hole pattern of the hoist through the 2x8, and bolted it without using the steel brackets and short bolts that came with the hoist. If you already have a 2x4 in place, you could do the short span of 2x8 like i did and then attach the 2x8 to the 2x4. That would accommodate the bolt pattern and add stiffness.

If you have balusters or a post you will need a mount kit. It would help for a wall too, to give you a flat area to attach to.

Any box w the spacing of the two holes in the base plate. I think I used an octagonal. Cut a hole in vinyl siding and particle board and managed a flush mounting. Seems sturdy enough.

As others have said, it is intended for mounting in a 19" equipment rack. If you really want to mount it on a wall, it can be easily done using a special bracket though. You can search Amazon for "1U 19 inch rack vertical wall mount" to find a bracket that will work.

Vertical clearance 4-1/2"; larger hanging bracket opening is 1"; smaller is 1/2"

I have it mounted horizontal but don't see why it can't be mounted vertical . Great product !

the bracket do not extend above the 2x4, in fact the brackets are designed for the 2x4 to be flush with the bracket. you can easily place a sheet of plywood on top of it, I do it all the time when I need a table outside to do some work. a 4x4 will not work with these bracket, they are designed to accommodate only 2x4 when you assemble them, make sure you stretch the legs a bit, this will improve the stability; and do not overload the bracket, it is only plastic, but sturdy

The sides assist in keeping the entire unit square and sturdy. You might be able to mount it to some 2x4's in an open frame design. It may not be worth your gamble on that information. Hope this helps

It works best for vertical mounting only. Here is a great option (VERY similar, and also on Amazon) for horizontal mounting...Clear Horizontal Surfboard Display Rack

No silly questions here, just honest answers. No, there is no real instructions on how to mount this unit, but most applications have been installed horizontally, not vertically. Mine uses a couple of rather large hose clamps with a cushioned "V" bracket to hold it in place.

Depth is the biggest issue. I agree that using rails would be best, but I successfully mounted mine just using the front mounting tabs. I do have other things below it that give some extra support.

I was able to line up 1 set of vertical mounting holes on a wall stud and used 4" lag bolts. It's also on the side of a closet, so the location might discourage prying efforts.

Normal installation is horizontal. If you mean vertical, it would be a little unwieldy when loading it.

The mounting is a channel that is three sided, screwed onto the post on the closed side. The open side of the channel is enclosed by a face plate. As a result, the 4x4 dimensions are critical.
