Trying to knock but find it hard to hear. The mount is secured with 4 screws. It's an automatic hose reel, so there is a lot of resistance when the hose retracts. Planning to secure with smaller hex bolts. Tips are welcome..
Roll Up 35 is in question... ok maybe it will hold... I thought about cutting 8 cm into the black board so that those 2 fit into the studs... then the other 2 into the paneling. What could the measurements of the studs be? The house is from 1970.
Alternatively, place a board next to the corner board with the same thickness and cut it so that it is 5mm larger than the hose reel bracket. Then fasten the "new" board from the side with a long screw. Next, cut a suitably thick piece of sheet with the same dimensions as the hose reel bracket and fasten it to the two boards.
Then it's simply a matter of mounting the hose reel bracket onto the sheet, ensuring the screws are long enough to penetrate well into the boards.
The advantage is that you can dismantle the bracket and boards without it being noticeable that they were there, except for a few screw holes in the corner board.
Yes, that's an option to avoid a few holes in the panel wall. I'll have to think a bit more about it tomorrow, thanks for now.. how do you mean to attach a piece of board of the same thickness and screw them together from the side? The thickness is probably 21mm and the width 120mm. It can't be too much load to screw them together from the side.. drilling through 120mm on a board that's 21mm thick must easily lead to cracking!
Was lazy and took it directly in the Panel.. maybe it will hold for a while then I think there will be looseness between the screws and the wall.. but that's a problem for another day hehe
I would probably have used slightly coarser wood screws with a larger head or a type of farmer screw with a collar. Otherwise, there's a risk that the screw will go through the hole in the plastic.
Maybe put a washer in between.. but it doesn't feel good to unscrew them again to put a washer or something similar, don't you think the threads in the wood might get a bit damaged then? Greater chance for wobbling later?
