Hi,
I'm looking at fitting some kitchen cupboards in my utility room, but need some advice on hanging them.
The property is a new build with those metal batons instead of wooden and the cupboard is a boiler cupboard, but with shelves. To put it into context I already have a boiler cupboard housing the boiler on the left hand side of the wall and for symmetry want to put a boiler cupboard with shelves on the right hand side with an up and over cupboard between the two.
My question is about suitable fixings for the boiler cupboard as it'll be heavier and larger than a standard cupboard and will be able to store more, so even heavier when full.
How should I affix this to the wall. I was thinking about fixing some sort of baton onto the wall, but then I did see a Youtube video showing spring toggles holding 176Kg of weight! (
).
So, do I really need to fix a baton to the wall, or would the spring toggles suffice? Or should I be going into the breeze block?
Any advice welcomed.
I have some basic DIY knowledge, but haven't really touched carpentry.
