I’m Amanda, and I am the creator and voice behind the food and DIY blog, Domestically Creative. What started as a place to share updates with friends and family after we moved from Illinois to Tennessee and then to Texas, turned into a passion for finding creative and frugal ways to feed us and decorate our homes. Decide where you’ll be installing the ceiling hook for your plant and make a small mark with a pencil. Step 2 When using spring toggles, you will need to remove the spring part from the machine screw and then pass the screw through whatever you are fixing (cabinet, etc) before re-attaching the spring toggle and pushing it into the hole in the plasterboard. These relatively new plasterboard fixings are available in a variety of colours, each capable of holding different maximum weights. These range from blue (113kg) to yellow (71kg). GripIt fixings work by having three separate loading points, dispersing the weight of the object being held better than many traditional fixings. They are only really suitable for use in places where they will be hidden behind the fixture. A large hole needs to be drilled, and the GripIt sits flush at the edge and is clearly visible. You can find out more about GripIt fixings here.

Fixing to Dry-Lined Walls Plasterboard Fixings– When hanging anything heavy from a plasterboard wall, it is always better to use more fixings than you might normally need. Using four plasterboard fixings instead of, say, two fixings, will greatly help to spread the load of the wall unit, shelf, etc, and therefore reduce the chance of the fixings pulling out of the wall. If you don’t want to go through the trouble of finding a joist, or there isn’t a joist where you want to hang your plant, you can use a toggle bolt with the hook. (Just make sure your plant isn’t heavier than the specified weight limit for your ceiling hook.) It sounds intimidating, but it’s actually very easy! These plasterboard screws combine a metal or nylon plug with a screw thread for the fixing screw. They vary in size and length but they all have the deep outer thread in common. The deep thread is designed to give a much better grip on the plasterboard, whilst also spreading the weight of the object they are holding up. Suitable for light loads and plasterboard in good condition. Plasterboard PlugScrew the swag hook onto the bolt, and continue screwing until the hook is flush against the drywall. It’s helpful to pull down gently on the bolt while screwing the hook into place to keep it from just spinning in place. If you have a crawl space or an attic with exposed joists, look to see which direction the joists are laid and also how far apart they're spaced. Cavity fixings work in a similar way to plastic or poly toggles. They are pushed into a pre-drilled hole and then the action of the machine screw turning in the fixing spreads four wings outwards to grip against the inside face of the plasterboard. Most cavity fixings have a toothed flange to grip the outer surface of the plasterboard. This needs to be pressed firmly into the surface of the plasterboard to stop the fixing turning as it is tightened.

Decide where you will install the hook. Grab the stud finder to locate a joist in that area. Don’t have a stud finder, try one of these 5 Ways to Find a Stud without a Stud Finder. Make several passes to ensure you know exactly where the joist begins and ends, and mark the area accordingly. Step 2 A neat and strong, all-in-one plasterboard fixing. These are available in a variety of types, with standard screw heads, as well as hooks and loops. This makes them good for hanging things from a plasterboard ceiling. They are also available in a range of sizes. A hole is drilled that matches the width of the unexpanded plastic sheath. The expanding anchor is pushed all the way into the hole and then tightened by turning the screw, hook, or loop. As the screw tightens, the plastic sheath spreads until it is tightly pulled against the inside face of the plasterboard. Metal spring toggles offer the best support for hanging on a plasterboard wall. The metal toggle is squeezed flat and pushed through the drilled hole in the plasterboard. Once it is behind the plasterboard, the toggle springs open and the two wings pull flat against the inside face. As the supplied machine screw is tightened, the wings are pulled tight against the inside face and spread the weight of the load. Our revolutionary new plasterboard hanging tools offer a number of significant benefits when undertaking the extremely difficult task of fitting plasterboard to joists and existing ceilings. Take particular care to drill accurately sized holes when using poly or nylon toggles. Plastic or nylon poly toggles are suitable for light to medium loads such as lighting fixtures. Poly-toggles or nylon toggles work in a similar way to the plastic expanding anchors above. Metal Spring ToggleAll plasterboard fixings are designed to do basically the same thing: Increase the area of the plasterboard which is put under stress by the object hanging from it. However, not all of them do this in the same way and not all of them are suitable for all applications. As a general rule, use plastic or metal screw in fixings for light loads, plastic anchor or spring toggles for medium loads, and metal spring toggles for heavy loads. Plastic Expanding Anchors Holding the wings on the toggle bolt closed, gently insert the bolt (hinge side first) into the hole in the ceiling drywall.
