Can it be mounted onto a sheet rock wall?

It certainly can be mounted on to a sheet rock wall, but in my opinion you do have to be careful about its installation. While mine is mounted into a sheet rock wall, it is mounted directly on to a wood stud behind the sheet rock which, or course, supports the sheet rock. YOU CAN'T MOUNT THIS UNIT DIRECTLY ON SHEET ROCK AS IT CAN'T SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF ITSELF PLUS THE TELEVISION MOUNTED THAT WAY. If it's going directly into a wood stud, you have the hardware in the kit to do that. If you're installing into a metal stud you need the Peerless Metal Stud Accessory Kit. Your choices with a sheet rock wall are to mount it directly into a stud, or use the proper IB40 model in-wall box which fits in between your studs for which you cut a hole in the wall to insert the box which then is anchored to the studs on either side of the box. The wall mount is then connected to the box. Mounted any other way with a sheet rock wall will cause the mount and more important, the television, to fall off the wall destroying the television.

I have this mount holding a 50" Sony that weights about 35lbs. the mount is bolted to the studs in my wall...two bolts. It handles the weight just fine moves very easily in all directions. Great mount the way i am using it. However, i would not mount any tv or anything else heavier than 5lbs to just the sheetrock. Don't risk it.

Yes it indeed works well, if you want to just hang it flat on the wall, which we have done. Make sure that there is good wall support behind your sheet rock wall - we did install a piece of 2 x 4 between two vertical studs in the wall and then patched up with sheet rock, but then final product looks the best.

I don't think so. It's got to be screwed to a wall or something more resistant bc of the weight it will support.

Just need a drill to make holes in the wall for the anchor mounts (I suppose you could twist / push a large phillips head screwdriver through a sheet rock wall if you were careful, but make sure it's not larger than the anchors), and a screwdriver to screw the screws in. Might want to put a level up too so it's not mounted crooked when you're done.FYI mine did not align with studs, so I used those special expanding sheet rock wall anchors

I will try and help. I do not have any of the paperwork any longer so what I will say is from how mine is mounted. The wall the unit is mounted in is a typical 2 x 4 wall with sheet rock on both sides. The sheet rock is 3/4", the 2 x 4's are only 3 5/8". Hope this helps.

The instructions include for mounting on Sheetrock walls, and includes hardware for this. Also included is hardware for mounting on cement and cinder block walls. I mounted on Sheetrock and used 2 butterfly wall anchors that I purchased separately which I believe hold best on hollow walls where I can't screw into a stud.

I was surprised how strong mine turned out using the provided hardware. Mounting as you say would work well, if there is no stud, it will hold most tools, shovels, etc one could fit on it, mounting just to Sheetrock.

Probably not, it mounts onto sheet rock, soft cubicle walls would be tough, very tough

Our local vet mounted it to the wall - you will need to attach it to a vertical stud. I would not trust it via sheetrock anchors or such.

There are no mounts for it to be put on a wall. I would think something could be rigged up so it could be. The cooling vents are on the back and I bet it would over heat if you decided to do that.

I tried mounting it on a joist but the alignment was off... I ended up just buying sheet rock anchors and mouting it between joists and it worked just amazingly awesome!

No this is not made to mount on a wall and it does not have any holes for mounting, you might be able to adapt it somehow but I would think the plastic would break.

I'm sure you could mount it somehow, but as far as I remember, it didn't come with anything saying how or if it could be mounted to a wall. You could probably call the company and ask them directly.

I would guess no. It's very heavy and I don't recall that there's any way to mount it to a wall.

I don't see why not as long as you have wood to attach it to. Or sheet rock plug and screws.

I don't see why it could not be mounted to a cinder block wall. I would think you could drill the mounting holes and insert those little plastic screw anchors and the screws should hold just fine.

Yes, it can mounted to a wall providing there are studs to adhere it to, otherwise, you will need "mollies". :)
