The Bunnings Workshop community can help with your home improvement projects.
Hi all, love this page with Bunnings and hope you can help. I am creating a space in my living area for my cats (3) to climb, play and rest. This is the only wall I can put the shelves. Installation instructions requires fixing the centre screw of each shelf to a stud in the wall - but no studs in this wall (cavity for sliding door - which I never close).
I used plasterboard anchors (holds up to 24kg) hoping it would be ok. As you can see in the circled area, one shelf came off when one cat (5kg) jumped on it. The other shelves have managed to stay on but 'creaks' and I am anticipating it also will fall off (with cat onboard).
I was looking at options. For example, panelling to go on the wall and then installing cat shelves again ... I have an additonal set to install - but don't want to proceed until I can find a solutions. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Good Evening @JPH
