Hi,
I have recently taken a wall in my house back to bare brick.
I was going to attach a timber frame to the wall and then fix the board to it, however given the weight of the board, what size screws should i be using, i was thinking 3", will these be sufficient?
Also, at what intervals should i screw and plug? My wall is approx 20ft x 12ft (stairwell).
Finally, is there an alternative to putting up a frame, i've read about 'dot and dab' but what exactly is this method and how would i go about it?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Leigh
