RhysP Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I used long masonry screws, drilled into the brick (old house, no plasterboard), brown rawlplugs.... and the f***ing thing still came away from the wall & smashed my bass into the floor.

icastle Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 [quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1427208559' post='2727183'] I now feel much less like a DIY numpty and know what needs to be done. I am a man empowered! [/quote] Just make sure you don't... never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiltyG565 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 [quote name='gelfin' timestamp='1427207919' post='2727165'] Many good suggestions above. This is my way of being certain that the hanger will be secure with no damage to the plasterboard. [url="http://s970.photobucket.com/user/gelfin5959/media/Wall%20hanger_zpsbcycgtfr.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] Option B is probably the easiest solution, and therefore the best. I hadn't even considered using spacers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
