This video shows a variety of drywall and plasterboard fixing methods you can use to ensure a good strong fixing. I also include a diy fixing method you can use that gives a really good strong fixing in dry wall and plasterboard. I put lots of different fixings to the test to find out which drywall fixings and screws are good and hold lots of weight and which ones are bad.

What if you don't have much space behind the plasterboard to push block of wood into, concrete wall 12mm or so after plasterboard?

@tris5458

Great video thanks! What thickness is the wood you would recommend? I've got some strip pinewood lying around which is 11mm thick (and 24mm width), would this be thick enough?

Hi Mike. This was really helpful video and one of the best on KZfaq I've seen regarding hanging and securing to plasterboard. All the fixings you can buy on the market and you just simplified it. Brllient. Great tutorial and test results. Thanks

Excellent video, thank you. Looks like hollow wall anchors are a decent all-rounder. I've used snap toggles a lot but they're a pain to do, especially if there's insulation in the cavity

Great video Mike! Really helped simplify the types of fixings I should consider based on weight. Great tip regarding your own fixing too. Thanks for putting in the effort to create this video

What type grit would you recommend for the sanding of the filler?

Love the video! I'd normally go for the spring toggle as I'd want the most secure fitting possible, but the only flaw is that sometimes there's very little clearance between the plasterboard and a brick wall, which would render the spring toggles useless. The Gripits were a PERFECT solution for that.
