Plate for mounting shelf system

[Nancy Biäng]

I have a hallway that needs fixing and I just stumbled upon a shelving system on brackets for a great price. I'm thinking of mounting it on the wall and installing sliding doors. But the thing is, it's a drywall, so how do I do that? I have the idea that it might be easiest to put up some sort of board directly on the drywall and secure it with proper screws into the studs behind the drywall, right? What type of board is best for this if so?

 

[Nancy Biäng]

No answers? Since you're using OSB+gypsum, it should work with gypsum+OSB as well, right? Plenty of screws into the studs and then gypsum screws on the rest? Could it cause any problems if I do it this way?

If you have double plasterboards, molly bolts work.
If you have OSB/etc behind the plasterboard, regular wood screws work.

What are you planning to have on the shelves?
How deep are the shelves?

 

[Nancy Biäng]

The shelves are about 40 cm out from the wall, there will be quite a heavy load on them since it's a hallway closet with many outer garments, and my tool stock will also end up there.

I have simple plasterboard and no OSB, that's why I thought of putting OSB on the outside instead.

I would probably have preferred a 15mm plywood board instead

 

[Nancy Biäng]

Oki... Yes, it should last better!

 

[Nancy Biäng]

Soon time to buy the tiles, anyone want to join the discussion before then?

 

[kulle]

Make sure to fasten the board with at least 50mm chipboard/decking screws into the studs

 

[Nancy Biäng]

But Kulle, would it work with 15 mm OSB instead? Much cheaper indeed.

 

[kulle]

Yes, it will probably be fine with osb as well, there's probably a difference of 100:- for a board.

 

[Nancy Biäng]

I might have checked poorly, because I perceived that the plywood sheets were both more expensive and smaller. I'm tied to Byggmax to avoid several miles of transport. I'll check again.

 

[kulle]

Yes, byggmax seems to only have 900 width on the plywood
If you use osb, with 15mm it becomes very durable
