Hi
I have a fairly heavy picture that I want to hang on the wall. The picture is approx 4'x2.5' and weighs about 12KG.
We have been looking around, and are not sure on the best way to go about fitting this to the plasterboard walls.
I've read some suggestions like using redidrive screws, and Hollow Wall Anchors to affix this to the plasterboard, but also read some details about screwing straight into the stud. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best method?
If the best method is to go into the stud, is there any recomendations on relatively cheap tools that could be bought to check for where the studs are in the walls, and maybe about roughly how far apart the studs might generally be?
Thanks in advance.
Steve
