Hanging upper cabinets on a wall with no top fixing point
As the title says im looking to hang some upper cabinets on a wall that has no upper fixing point, as in it doesnt fix to any trusses or any form of structure. To make things worse the wall studs are light guage steel and there are also not going to be any lower cabs for any added support. I have no worries about fixing the cabinet to the wall itself my concern lies in the wall strength. How much weight can a wall like this handle without deflecting or worst case coming down? submitted by /u/AnimalNo5616 [link] [comments]
