About this deal

Holding the wings on the toggle bolt closed, gently insert the bolt (hinge side first) into the hole in the ceiling drywall. If you don’t want to go through the trouble of finding a joist, or there isn’t a joist where you want to hang your plant, you can use a toggle bolt with the hook. (Just make sure your plant isn’t heavier than the specified weight limit for your ceiling hook.) It sounds intimidating, but it’s actually very easy! If you have a crawl space or an attic with exposed joists, look to see which direction the joists are laid and also how far apart they're spaced. These relatively new plasterboard fixings are available in a variety of colours, each capable of holding different maximum weights. These range from blue (113kg) to yellow (71kg). GripIt fixings work by having three separate loading points, dispersing the weight of the object being held better than many traditional fixings. They are only really suitable for use in places where they will be hidden behind the fixture. A large hole needs to be drilled, and the GripIt sits flush at the edge and is clearly visible. You can find out more about GripIt fixings here.

Hanging a plant hook using a ceiling joist is the most secure way and the safest, especially if you plan to hang a heavy planter. Materials: When fixing into plasterboard, using the correct Plasterboard Fixings is essential if you want to reduce the risk of your shelves, pictures, and other wall-hanging objects pulling out of the wall. A plasterboard is essentially a layer of compressed plaster dust between two sheets of paper. If the structure is intact, it is reasonably strong and resilient. However, as soon as this structure is broken by a screw or nail, the plaster inside can be liable to crumble, and getting a good fixing is difficult.Cavity fixings work in a similar way to plastic or poly toggles. They are pushed into a pre-drilled hole and then the action of the machine screw turning in the fixing spreads four wings outwards to grip against the inside face of the plasterboard. Most cavity fixings have a toothed flange to grip the outer surface of the plasterboard. This needs to be pressed firmly into the surface of the plasterboard to stop the fixing turning as it is tightened. These plastic or Nylon fixings are squeezed flat and slotted into a pre-drilled hole. Once inside, the flattened end opens out to act as the anchor. The screw then pulls the two flaps or wings flat against the inner face of the plasterboard to fix it in place. Drill a small pilot hole into the drywall and joist with a drill bit slightly smaller than the size of the screw being used.

drywall ceiling? How much weight can I hang from a drywall ceiling?

Locate the nearest ceiling joist where you want to hang your hook. A joist is one of the beams that supports a ceiling, and it's the securest place to fasten a hook. The easiest way to locate your ceiling joists is by using a stud finder [2] X Expert Source Gino ColucciThese plasterboard screws combine a metal or nylon plug with a screw thread for the fixing screw. They vary in size and length but they all have the deep outer thread in common. The deep thread is designed to give a much better grip on the plasterboard, whilst also spreading the weight of the object they are holding up. Suitable for light loads and plasterboard in good condition. Plasterboard Plug

Unfortunately, I have no idea about what specific kind of drywall plate it is or how it was attached; at any rate there is only a fixed place that I can hang the plant from so that it doesn't prevent me from opening window. Decide where you will install the hook. Grab the stud finder to locate a joist in that area. Don’t have a stud finder, try one of these 5 Ways to Find a Stud without a Stud Finder. Make several passes to ensure you know exactly where the joist begins and ends, and mark the area accordingly. Step 2 There are a few different methods to install a ceiling hook to hang a plant from, but this post is going to cover two of them. The first method involves finding a joist, and the second method uses a toggle bolt. Don’t let the words “joist” or “toggle bolt” worry you though, both of these methods are very easy, and require few tools. Read on for instructions for two ways to install a ceiling hook. If you have trouble twisting it through the last few rotations, grasp the hook gently with pliers and use the pliers to gain added torque. Assess the weight of the suspended item. Estimating the weight of the item you want to hang from the ceiling will determine what size fastener you need. Hanging a paper lantern will require a different fastener than hanging a large, heavy pendant lamp.DIY Extra is an ever-growing collection of Do It Yourself guides, projects, tutorials and articles covering many aspects of DIY and Home Improvements.
