Hello,
I am going to mount a full-size rib wall against an interior wall. The wall construction is probably 3/4" tongue and groove paneling on a 2 1/2" x 3" framework (standard for this type of house). On the other side of the wall, there are closets, so, in principle, there are no issues with drilling through both panels if needed. But I have no idea what type and size of mounting screws to use. The rib wall will be against the floor and attached with four anchor points to the wall (two at about 20 cm and 170 cm height). It will be used by adults and has a fold-out bar for chin-ups etc. at the top, so it should withstand quite a bit.
Great if anyone has tips and maybe has done the same

French wood screw should work.

Sorry, I must have misread. So you have a 19mm panel as wall cladding?
No, the wall cladding is wallpaper. But the wall construction is 3/4" tongue and groove panel, 2 1/2" x 3" framework, insulation material, building paper, and 3/4" tongue and groove panel again. Standard interior wall for AB Svenska Trähus from 1944.S Småbrukaren said:
I've asked professionals and received good advice, which I thought I'd share in this thread in case others encounter the same problem.
The forces seem to be mostly downward, not outward. This also applies when hanging from the top extended bar.
You can mount the ribbstol on a 28x70 stud (glespanel) against the wall to even out the load. The ribbstol is mounted with 5.5 mm carriage bolts against the stud. To do this, pre-drill the stud and make a countersink for the nut on the backside. The stud is then mounted with 5 mm spax countersunk screws to the wall. It should be long enough to go through the wall. It's sufficient to have two above and two below the ribbstol's upper attachment point, and one above and one below at the floor.
