Ive just been watching this handyman guy on youtube who seems like an absoloute expert on plasterboard and test vary wall plugs for plasterboard and he responds to the comments so i guess im going to just screw into the plasterboard. The togglet bolts sound very but its just that drilling a huge...

Well before it was orignally 119cm and now it is 102cm or like 101.5cm. Since I know I am going to take the shelve off the wall tomorrow i have taken the hifi off it and the other stuff, this is going to sound stupid but i just started testing the shelf like trying pull back on it and move it...

Ok thank you, damn wish i had the blueprints for my room.

not gonna lie the stud thing sounds like it will be really annoying as i want my shelf to directly above my drawer which is also 40 inches long, that is why i cut the shelf down to 40inches long aswell as the fact that my hifi will be able to fit on it

wait quick question should in my room there is a small corner not like full corner but a small one for where the chimney used to be, hsould i measure 16 inches out from that? would the be a chance of finding a wooden stud since it is a corner ? or where the wall outlet is?>

Well I was looking into the storage bit of my room where on the inside the walls are revealed and looks like the studs are exactly 16 inches wide.

dont have any neo magnets plus not too sure on using them, first time hearing them. Well im going to the DIY/Improvement store tomorrowe and just ask them and double check if still screwing into the plasterboard is ok. Im still a teenager so im not a DIY know it all or construction person, but...

Well my shelf is 40inches long and the brackets are on each end so trying to screw the brackets into wooden studs would be difficult. What is the average width of a wooden stud?

Well Im not too sure about using the wooden stud but for sure tomorrow I will be going to the shops to go purchase some proper plasterboard wall plugs for the shelves. But as I said not too sure about using the wooden studs unless I go and get some advice from the guys at the shop and see what...

Yeah true unless I can find a place where I am able to hire one as I will never be putting anything else on the wall in my room

But im not gonna lie it feels very sturdy plus my dad has another shelf in the house which is an a plasterboard and its quite a large shelve and has been there for more then 3 years and has still been holding up with atleast couple of KG's on it?
