Best Plasterbord Fixings?

[TimNorwich]

Hi BCF,

Calling on your wisdom again, I've just had a new porch put onto my house and intend on putting a coat rail in there. The width is around 1.2m which will mean a decent amount of coat space but this means the rail will need to be strong enough to hold them (and hopefully not rip out of the wall!).

I've had a look online but there is frankly too many variants around, i'm hoping somebody will point me in the right direction

Thanks!

You really want a wooden batten behind the plasterboard so you can screw through.

Are the boards dotted and dabbed onto block or fixed to stud?
It makes a difference.

They are fixed to a stud, the depth of the cupboard is only 70cm so no studs in the middle just either end sadly!

Use the above a lot in work as everything is plasterboard. Put coat hangers up with these that are strong enough to do pull ups from.

Uno plugs. Available in B and q. For a coat hook I'd probably use the grey ones. which require a 10mm drill bit.

These are the best things I've used in plasterboard, currently holding a a very heavy mirror in the front room with three of these though in reality two would have been fine.

I've used both the plastic and screw-in types which serve a purpose but these are much more sturdy.

Thanks for your help guys. I installed the rail this evening with a plank spanning from one stud to the other - so far so good!
