I would really like to see how you found the location of the joist and determined what kind of screw to use
@tehblue Жыл бұрын
I have vent covered sections in my ceiling to access shut-off valves so I was able to see where some are. Typically they are run 16 or 24 inches apart. I think 16 is more common, so you could guesstimate the measure from one end of the wall. Lightly tap in a picture hanging nail, they are black with a brass top, very thin and make a barely noticeable hole, to see if you hit a joist.

Where did you buy the wall mount clips? I have been trying to install these rods since December and Ikea has not been able to help. Their installation video on their website does not even include the mount but it is definitely needed.
@tehblue Жыл бұрын
At the time I installed this system, more than a year ago, all pieces were sold separately. Six months later, they were sold in kits for either ceiling or wall mounted, different brackets. The wall brackets appear to be available in the kits. I have not seen or heard of the ceiling brackets for some time.

I had some extra decking screws but your average 2" screw is enough as long as you attach to your rafter ties/joists. For concrete, 2" concrete bolts or concrete fasteners should do, depending on weight. I should note I diy and not a contractor so you may want profeasional advice depending on your application.
