Hanging freedom mounts

Recommended Posts

Anyone ever hang a skull mount in drywall w/out issues?  There is no 2x4 framing in the exact spot my wife wants these to go.  They aren’t big bulls….was thinking about a drywall anchor.

Yes.  I have a should mounted mule deer and antelope that I’ve hung in drywall with toggle bolts.  No issues for 5+ years.

1st choice:  Thinking of Zip-It s with a #8 screw should do it see tech data on the link below. Claim to have 70# sheer strength in 1/2 drywall. These are my go-to for towel bars that kids are hard on when no backing is present.

If above fails: You could look at other hollow wall anchor systems like toggle bolts.

They will look great. 

Best of luck

A lot of those drywall anchors are rated for 50 pounds in just the sheetrock. Itll be fine
