Hang White Board from Cubicle Wall

Posted by Jama Sandoval, on
I have been trying to hang a large white board from an office cubicle wall without success. The wall is 3" wide and we found partition hangers that would fit, but the white board is too heavy for them. Do you have any suggestions regarding a way to make this work? Thanks!

Hi there what you might consider trying is to: 1 locate the metal joists behind the wall by knocking along the wall - higher pitch noise when knocking suggests a metal stud is there. 2 fixing a timber batten across the identified stud locations using a battery drill and self taping screws 3 fix the whiteboard to the timber batten(s) That's how I would go about it. Good luck!
