Wall mounting a large basin

Posts: 541 Forumite
need some advise on best way to fix a large (800mm) wash basin to a stud wall.
The stud work comes out about 150mm from the sold wall.
I have been told i can use a fisher bolt but am not sure the max length of the bolts.
Any help or ideas on an alternate way to fix this would be helpful

Been out workingWhere are all the builders/plumbers?
Anyway, I wouldn't try this without having a noggin in the right place in the stud wall. No way would I hang a basin on just plasterboard. Neither would I try to use a very long bolt/rawlplug arrangement over what is not much better than a 150mm gap from the description given.A house isn't a home without a cat.
Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.

Thanks Bob,
If i attach some lengths of 2x2 timber to the solid wall to essentially fill the void, can i screw/bolt into the timber?0 -
as long as you get a good fixing, if you are using fischer bolts you should have few probs0

I would agree with bob property, not a good thing to put a basin on plasterboard wall put a dwang in the wall first and then fix in to this.
experinced plasterer.
