[QUOTE="PaganMcLoud, post: 863461, member: 17169"] There are of course exceptions or special cases where a wall is SO soft, it starts crumbling the moment you start drilling. Im not even joking when I say the Fischer plug I mentioned has worked even in these rare instances, but that was curtain pole, and probably no more than 18kg once curtains were later suspended. Goes without saying that you should TEST 1st, but not just 1 hole. Put the whole bracket up rather (the strength comes from the screws collectively) then suspend a weight (if u have this) using ski rope, and test for maybe 24 hrs. Once removed, if there's any "play" whatsoever, then rather you just fill those holes and go with a stand instead. *These Fischer plugs I mentioned, are available at Builders Warehouse. You want the 8mm. They're nylon and more expensive than metal Rawl bolts, but then they're more effective for the task at hand. Also remember, you get plenty generic expansion bolts, sleeve anchors, etc. but they're nowhere near as effective as the Fischer/Rawl products. Price is much higher but its worth it. [/QUOTE]
