Drywall anchors can support a lot of weight. also they should be spaced every 16 on Center or every two feet.

Shadow20201 11/25/21 12:30:56 AM #15:	If you can't procure a stud finder, you can use a small finishing nail hammered into the wall where you believe a stud is. You'll tell by the resistance it encounters. Useful if it's going to be covered by a painting or large object. Just make sure you can pull it out after. And avoid doing this near electrical or plumbing. --- czzzzzzzzzz[]:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::/ 'Sir we are surrounded!'

bnui_ransder 11/25/21 12:43:58 AM #16:	The problem with finding a stud from the corner is many times a carpenter DOES put every stud 16 inches on the center of each 2x4 BUT is that the corner they started on? So your best bet is usually finding an outlet, determining which side the stud is on, find the middle of that stud and then measure in 16's from there --- http://bnuiransder.tumblr.com/ So much A R T <cite>bnui_ransder posted [p:960328648] in How tf do ...

Ok if I understand this, every corner is a stud and every electrical outlet is mounted to a stud Well I have measured corner to outlet in 4 places and got 4 different numbers from 14 to 24 not every electrical box is mounted to studs.
