Question on installing gladiator track

[garageal]

Hello. Just joined today. I've been installing gladiator track in my garage and so far its going pretty good.
Here is what I did so far. Still cleanup in progress

But i ran into an issue on the other side.

I have this little area which is under the stairs and i want to put 32" track there. I was only able to locate 2 studs, one in the middle and one on the right. Is that enough to hang it? Should i use drywall anchors on the left side?

Red arrows are the location of the studs. (I think)

Thanks

Alex

It depends on what you plan on hanging on it. If it's just rakes, shovels, etc. that should be fine. If you plan on putting a cabinet or something else heavy there it might be an issue.

No cabinets. just rakes, shovel. Garden tools basically

It will be fine. Typically studs are 16" apart so within 32 you would hit 2 studs and not more

The only problem is if you hang something too close to the edge of the track it may pull away from the wall, you can add an drywall anchor before hand if that is what you plan to do.

Thank you. i'll use anchors just in case

They make 240+ lb anchors. I hate the ones that look like large metal screws that screw into drywall. The one that are plastic and open up like a T in the back or the one that have a piece of zip tie looking material that cinches metal winglets behind the drywall are the best imho. 2 studs and a heavy duty anchor will most certainly support a rake and a shovel or two. Chances are, you have 5/8th drywall in the garage so make sure you get the correct anchors.

There should be a stud up against the cinderblock. The drywall has to have something holding it.

Good point. I didn't drill yet. Stud finder didn't pick up anything. I will check it by drilling first

There should also be a stud on the left side along the block column, unless your drywall is just floating. If the drywall doesn't move when you push on the center, there will be a stud.
