Cracked Stud in the Wall

[TedG]

Hi,

I have set up a dip bar on the wall.

The dip bar is mounted on a thick board, which in turn is mounted on the wall and fastened to 3 studs.

It's held up with a total of 9 screws (3 in each stud), and when I tightened the top screw in the middle stud, I did it too tightly, causing a pop inside the stud, and the screw no longer holds.

Grateful for any tips on what can be done...

The wall will be subjected to high stress when training there.

Hello,

I have installed a dip bar on the wall.

The dip bar is mounted on a thick plank, which in turn is mounted on the wall and secured to 3 studs.

It is held up with a total of 9 screws (3 in each stud), and when I tightened the top screw in the middle stud, I did it too hard, it snapped inside the stud, and the screw no longer holds.

The wall will be subjected to high stress when training there.

Is it possible that the screw broke?

You are absolutely right! I never tried unscrewing it.

Thanks for this

Then the dipp bars will come loose before the plank. They're only attached with four regular wood screws 😀

Maybe that's where the biggest risk is 😀

Aha, it was bolted 👍thought it was fastened with wood screws 😃

Looks like it has at least twice as many screws as needed.
