How is this different from Holey Rail? Can these mount side by side if studs are 16in apart?

My studs were 16 in apart. I had hard time with installation. I`m not happy with the product. It`s very lite. I`ll get something more reliable from Home Depot or Lowe`s.

I used bunch of wall plastic anchors and screws. Also: the Stanley 819841 Pegboard Hooks which a bought at the same time are too small for the holes on the plate. They `re coming out all the time. I don`t like the product. Will not recommend it.

Because of the length and the hole placement you cannot mount them on studs at both ends if they are 16 inch on center studs. The Holey rail comes in 2 4 foot sections, and has more width top to bottom, which means more peg holes.

The finish on top and bottom rails are flush. In theory, you can pre-drill holes and use threaded bolts and nuts to connect one on top of the other, but that won't give you the lateral rigidity as a single unit.

The mount lines up with 12 or 16" spaced studs. Mine were 24" apart so I had to improvise a bit.

They don't fit flush-mounted side rails. Believe me. I bought them and had to send them back. Take a close look at the picture.

Placing your studs 16" on center will allow you to much more easily attach the plywood later. It is also the only way to fully support the plywood, which is critical. I learned how to properly frame 16" on center from this guy... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VwXv3x_5k8

Vernon...the mounts extend quite a bit further than the rail itself. So "measure twice" and "install once"/LOL

The unit fits between studs in a wall that are on 16" centers. The unit can be mounted as high or low between these studs as you want as long as now wiring or other objects have been place between the studs you mount it in.

If you are going through drywall use a 2'' drywall screw into the stud. This will give you about an inch through the Holerail and drywall and about an inch into the stud. I would not just go into the drywall, it will not hold. Studs are 16'' from center to center, Overlap the rail a couple of holes and screw into place at every stud.

I just measured mine, and they are 16" apart. however, it looks like they're hand welded so I supposed there could be variance from unit to unit. hope that helps.

Hi David, The holes are 4 7/8" apart all 4 holes & 6 7/8" on the cross/diagonal. The holes are casted as part of the base plate casting. They are not drilled/machined. I state this as there may be a rough edge at the top of the holes. I used a 1/2" drill bit to deburr edge,thus using 1/2" diameter bolts to mount.

I'm not sure how you want to configure. If you are wanting to add the 1281 to the opposite end of this, and you want the same rails to go through both, the answer is no because the distance between the bottom of this plate and the rail holes is different from the 1281. On this plate, the distance from the bottom of the plate to the top of the rail is 5/16". I hope this helps.

They are squared off so you could use some metal straps to mount. I'm not sure if that's there design The only issue with mounting I can see is that you sort of have to bend them to get it apart, they snap together pretty hard.

It can be mounted to studs on 16 inch centers. The mounting flange has a hole in the center with additional holes and radial slots that will permit some variation to the 16 inch center. They will also permit more than one fastener per flange.

I see no problem mounting side by side. I did not because plumbing in the way.

I did. Because it was 24" long and the studs in my wall are 16" apart, I decided to install the rail diagonally so that both ends could have at least one screw go into the middle of a stud.

You would cut the square holes before or after Sheetrock is up. The boxes are not adapted to mount to the studs. They are meant primarily for existing wall between studs.

Not sure I follow the bracket came in two sections. Neither section was 16 inches long, the standard distance between studs. The two pieces to not connect to each other in any way
