My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Pre-planning required for pipe-shelves?

8 years ago
For this project, was the wall opened to add support for these shelves? I'm looking to do something similar in my kitchen and I'm wondering if simply using studs are enough or if the wall needs to be opened to support these shelves. The flanges against the wall are wider than a stud.

    Hello and thank you for your question. The answer to this can vary depending on how much weight you intend for the shelving to withstand.

    Any rough guidance on what tips the answer from no to yes? Let's say the span is 32 inches with three studs available for use
