Ceiling Joists

Post by Osusannah » Wed Feb 07, 2024 8:51 pm

I own a 1996 Redmond 3bdrm/2bath and would like to hang something that needs to support 200lbs. How do I find out where I can hang it?

To safely hang something that supports 200lbs in your 1996 Redmond 3bdrm/2bath, you'll want to locate a stud in the wall. Typically, studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, so you can use a stud finder to locate one. Once you've found a stud, you can securely attach your hanging item using appropriate hardware like screws or anchors designed for heavy loads. Remember to distribute the weight evenly and avoid hanging heavy items on drywall alone. Safety first!
