Hi everyone.
I'm going to attach a climbers hangboard to an internal brick wall at home, it's a load bearing wall, and the hangboard will be above a doorway. The house is over 120 years old, I'm not sure what's behind the plaster, but assuming it's not timber. The board needs to take at least 90kg of weight
I was thinking that I should use a fisher bolt/sleeve anchor type thing (can you tell this isn't my specialist topic?) I'm thinking that I'll over-engineer the number of bolts (the board is to be screwed to 18mm ply, the ply is bolted to the wall). More bolts = less load per bolt. At the moment I'm looking at a 10mm diameter bolt/sleeve, going in around 8-12 cm. I'll also go quite wide with the ply to spread the load as well.
any opinions on this, or more important, experience of installing a hangboard?
thanks all!
