Jimtoo is correct. You can use a stud finder or I met a super nice couple that had a very nice setup in their Cyclone 3612 garage. They incorporated spring loaded hooks that they could mount thier ladders, etc. on the wall. The gentlemen goes by robnmo on the forum so contact him for the name of the mounts that he used and hopefully everyone will see the name of the mounting brackets that he used. He told me when I met him, but for the life of me I can't remember what he called them. Take care, Mike
