Need advice hanging a hitch wall mount
I'm hoping to hang this hitch wall mount in my garage but the exact spot I'd like it in is in between 2 studs. The hitch mount would be holding a bike rack that weighs approximately 60 pounds. My plan was to use a scrap piece of 2x10 and first attach that to the 2 adjacent studs (1/2 inch drywall overtop), and then attach the hitch mount to the 2x10. Is this feasible and provide enough holding capacity? If so, what fastener would be recommended to attach the 2x10 and hitch Mount? I'm thinking a whole bunch of 4 inch construction screws for the 2x10 on both sides. The mount comes with long bolts but obviously much longer than the thickness of the 2x10. submitted by /u/anon_omus21 [link] [comments]
