@scott_diy: Will it fail?! ✅❌ I hung a heavy French cleat wall made from 18mm ply from an insulated plasterboard wall. I want a fully customisable background for my YouTube videos. So I thought I would make a French cleat wall for the first time. Overall it’s turned out well, but the real transformation comes next with the bespoke shelves. Note: not an ad, just something I find useful #DIY #homeimprovement #frenchcleatwall #toolstorage #youtubestudio
Just fix it to the studs. Plasterboard itself has limited strength. Doesn’t matter which fixings you use if there’s nothing behind

Used these a couple of years ago and the TV pulled them straight out of the wall leaving massive holes and smashing up the TV. Never again just find the studs

These things are mint, I have them holding up radiators and curtain rails, you can hang off the curtains and they aren’t budging
