Wanting to mount something into this header but not sure how it is framed out behind the drywall. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Semi complicated question incoming. Not sure if this is the right place for this and apologies if it's misplaced. If this is not the appropriate subreddit and someone could kindly direct me to which subreddit might better assist that would be cool. I am wanting to mount a wall mounted squat rack (Picture #1: advertised as able to withstand loads up to 1100lb loads IF installed correctly, however installation instructions are sparse). Here is one of the locations I am wondering if I could anchor it: above and below this window (picture #2). I'm considering attaching two 2x8 stringers 5 or 6' in length to this wall, one near the ground and one above the windows on the header in question, then mounting the rack to these hangers. But I'm not sure what the exact layout of the header is behind the drywall up top For context, this is a 1972 ranch style house in Arizona with a low sloped roof. I've attached photos of the header from below as it appears spanning an open area in front of my front door (Pictures # 3 and #4). It appears to be some kind of box header. It looks like two vertical 2x10 planks with a 2x4 between them, which is odd because it seems like typical box headers have the vertical planks sitting on TOP of the 2x4, and not to the side of it as it appears here. Is there another 2x4 completing the box at the top of this, and if so can I use 3-4" lag bolts into the very top and very bottom of the header to be in solid wood throughout? Aside from previous questions, my other question is: is it a terrible idea to install something like this over a window opening, which if the answer is yes then disregard all the blathering above. My concern is that large amounts of weight are sometimes dropped onto these racks, generating a significant weight load on the wall (I'm guessing). Thank you guys for any help you can provide! https://preview.redd.it/fjgdubjb9kqe1.jpg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7457907ba6cf84ab50750cc4cc830628cde873cf https://preview.redd.it/ox5cep6c9kqe1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=40fe4fdf4a892508ac06357b71f181871ae049a7 https://preview.redd.it/nvw2za1d9kqe1.jpg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6a462892e51c0f5888e996206488215e76a76326 https://preview.redd.it/7o9td2sd9kqe1.jpg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d93a98103b99aac9ecd8d79542a838ef3e5f173 submitted by /u/GoPr0wn [link] [comments]
