i am wanting to install it on one wall of my "tuff shed". The studs are exposed and are on 16" centers. Will i have to put a 2x4 on the studs to install?

Yes, I would recommend it. Its a great table. I've had it for over a year - very sturdy and easy to use.

Short answer if I remember correctly - no. If I remember correctly, when I got it, the instructions say something along the lines of "must attached to at least 2 studs 16 inches apart, but has 3 sets of holes. If I remember correctly the whole backplate was not much wider than 16" so one set of the screws would have gone straight into the drywall. I wasn't about to do that, so there was a third (smaller) hole on the other sets so I just put 3 screws into 2 studs that were 16" apart. Hopefully that makes sense and answers your question. Sorry for the long answer.

Hi our fireplace guy attached a 2x4 to the vertical framing studs in the wall behind the sheetrock--he then attached the mantel to the 2x4 with the brackets that came with the mantel.--- it has not given us any issues and is very sturdy

I don't see a way to make that work with the way the mount is designed. You'll need to mount to two studs.

I mounted mine in my garage without any problems. I noticed the width of the bracket also, so I just put a slight angle on my screws as mounted the bracket. Both screws hit the "meat" of the stud. I also used a magnetic stud finder to find my stud, drew a small line at the center of the stud, then centered the bracket on that line and screwed it in.

The 2x4 category should not be considered light framing. I would not even use this tool for 2x2. This is a trim installation tool, where 1/2" should be considered the max. I found the 16 gauge nails to be more akin to wire than a hardened nail, and tend to follow the easiest path. Best for nailing trim into a stud, which tend to be softer than joists.

Careful, you need thicker studs for that track because its only a 1 ply track, stud height should be 1.325

As answered before, they are 16" centers. However, since you have 24" center wall studs, I would just find a nice piece of wood and mount it to the studs as a ledger board and mount the rack to that. It will be super strong without straining any drywall. Could finish nicely or just make it narrow and almost totally hide it

It is not necessary to mount this into studs on your concrete wall. However, you will need to make sure you purchase the correct mounting hardware for your application.

Hey Paul, the holes are approximately 16" apart from center. That is the standard stud width inside your home, but that's not always the case. My stud width inside my was about 17", so I got a couple of 2x4s and bridged the studs. The I installed the unit. I hoped this helped.

I was able to mount on 16" studs. There isn't much room after you hang tv so be sure to have all plug ins before attaching.

In my installation, I have pan head screws spaced on 2" centers, and that was sufficient. I used a 1x2 board as the backing of the board, and screwed that board into the 2x4 studs. I have a wall that is almost 7' tall, and MLV hangs from the top and is just barely shy of the floor. Hanging the MLV from the top and letting it hang loose all the way to the floor will yield the best results.

It is designed to fit between the studs in the wall so has to be real close. Studs are 16" on center normally which would be 14 1/2"" width. Mine fit no problem cutting the Sheetrock to the edge of the studs. Plus it overlaps the Sheetrock

My experience is with the 18" bar, horizontally mounted, which can be installed on studs 16" on center. The details are in my review at http://www.amazon.com/review/R3O4JPSFZVDHT3/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm. The 36" would fit in a similar fashion on stud pair at 32".

What matter is you screw directly to the wall stud. Typical stud spacing is 16″ on center and even on older houses is rarely greater than 24″ on center.

I would definitely hit two studs.. One is easier but if you hit two you know your tv mount should never fall and you'll be able to use the swivel more confidently.. Standard stud spacing is 16" on center.

Definitely need to frame it out in studs, including one in the middle. Not hard to do at all. Use long drywall screws, seems to work well...
