 Calendar Event: Attaching to wallsPosted: 04 Jun 2017 at 8:29am |

I have a question for all of you that have done modifications. What is the best way to attach things to the walls. Are you using wall anchors?

I think the best way is not to attach anything. The second best way is use velcro and avoid making holes!

Madmojo,
If mounting into a hollow area of wall, most of us use wall anchors, select an appropriate length as to not interfere with outside skin. Take some pre-planning as a hole drilled is hard to cover-up if not needed in future. There are no studs in a Pod, if you can use an aluminum tube do so, you can find them with a stud finder. There are instances where you have to use anchors for any load bearing capability, be prudent and plan ahead. |

I think I'm the only pod owner that has added many cabinets towel bars ets, but nobody beliefs that I have not used a single wall anchor 7th season and everything is still on the wall. |

If you want something done right, do it yourself.

For stuff that's not too heavy and for those plastic hooks 3M makes a double sided mounting tape that seems to work pretty well.

Screws. We've attached lot of things to the walls using screws. Use # 8 or #10 screws just long enough to penetrate the paneling completely
