Hanging Mounts Florida Style
OK kind of a weird question on hanging your deer mount....
Up North I just find a wooden stud and pound a nail into it and hang my deer mount and I'm done
Down here.... with the metal "studs" I'm kinda at a loss, I think I know what I need to do but want to see what you all do before I go nuts.
Thanks,
Bren

Every house I've ever lived in had wooden studs. That is Florida Style.

Re: Hanging Mounts Florida Style
Unless you live in a newer house, it probably has wooded wall studs. Metal studding has only become popular in the last few years of construction

Re: Hanging Mounts Florida Style
The reason metal studs started being used a lot is because wood became a lot more $$$. Your load bearing walls will most likely wood. structial metal studs do cost a lot more and hangers don't like hanging rock on them. also strapping and clipping changes and heavy ga. #10s & 12s mostly. also stiffner channelsIluv2hunt wrote:Unless you live in a newer house, it probably has wooded wall studs.

Re: Hanging Mounts Florida Style
I don't think i will ever have that problem again takes allot to make the wall and that's not antler albino ? or nice fish. So for hanging if its heavy make sure your hanger is over the weight. I used 4 hangers for my cat and years latter i noticed one was pulling so overkill is acceptable.
Re: Hanging Mounts Florida Style
Thanks again guys I appreciate all you feedback! I'll be sure to let you know how I made out!

Thanks again for your input!
