What is the maximum spacing of studs required to safely hang this? Is there an alternate method to hang it if studs are not accessible?

we hung ours on 16" center studs. the hanging bar has room for variation but I don't know exact measurements the hanging bar that's attached to the wall is almost as long as the desk itself.

16" apart for studs. I found it necessary to hang on 3 studs total for maximum stability. Not sure of an alternative.

it depends on the weight you intend to hang from the strip. i am hanging some basic tools and screws with plastic anchors seem sufficient. but as the weight increases, studs is what i would be looking for to anchor the strips.

You have options up to about 20 inches , should Span std stud widths but there are many holes

Most definitely studs. However, Since it did not line up with the studs for me. I ran a 1 x 4 across, both the top and bottom and secured into the studs. Then I mounted the rack onto the 1 x 4.Worked just fine.

We hung ours on the wall as pictured, do not think it can be hing any other way and be used. My husband put anchors in the wall to be sure it was secure and he wouldn't need to find the studs in our plastered walls, there are also cement anchors available.

If you're seating this directly into the drywall, I'd say yes. Although, if I recall correctly, the pre-drilled holes are spaced roughly sixteen(16) inches apart, so if you have flexibility in where you place the hanger, you can simply drive a screw into the stud on one end, level it, and the other hole should line up with the other stud.

Not really. I guess it would depend on the spacing. It is made especially for concrete, while it is not impossible to mount it to your wooden studs, just would require a little more effort.

It's been almost a year since I mounted them but I believe they were around 1 1/4". I was able to put one hanger into a stud, the other one I had to use anchors. Where the screws go is an open "U" so you could use other brass screws if you wanted to.

Geez, the distance wouldn't be a problem so I guess it would depend on what you'd want to use for anchors and hardware. I'm not overly familiar with metal studs. If you're confident you have a good solid hardware that would fit the bill I'd say it'd be no problem. Is it in an exposed application or covered in drywall?

The spacing of the screw holes are just a bit two wide for a typical house stud, I was able to sink one screw securely and angle the other screws in such a way that I was able to make it work, but unfortunately after doing this, I had to force the screw cover on. Now that is up it really is outstanding. Notably. If you had a wider stud it would go up no problem. Without a wide stud, the template is useless and it takes a bit of finess. Hope this helps.

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!

The screw holes are a bit over 17 inches apart. You could tilt the rack slightly in order to get both screws into studs. The spot I wanted to hang it did not have studs at the appropriate locations so I used molly bolts. Had it up for several months and it is holding up well with frequent use.

The hanging bracket system is different. It is a separate piece that you line up on the studs, then the until slides down on top of 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.

The bottom screw of each triangle of screws I installed will definitely be in the stud. You must have additional screws on top and bottom "plates" to make the grab bar secure. Just one screw at the top and one screw at the bottom in the stud is a "no-no". Wall anchors are also a "no-no". There may be a way to get more screws into the stud if you know what you're doing. There are "slots" between the oval holes of the "plates". If you angle the long screws just right, you can put a screw through the "slots" so they can go on each side of the stud at the top and bottom of the grab bar. Just be careful so the long screws don't hit each other or you'll have a mess. You may have to get 4 thick shorter screws but it will be worth it to make the grab bar secure. Good luck.

When possible always use a stud....When using drywall as a base, for hanging, it all depends on the weight of what you are hanging.

I was able to mount on 16" studs. There isn't much room after you hang tv so be sure to have all plug ins before attaching.
