Hot Bath Tub Water Garden
Comments (30)I have finished major part of the project, still need to fix small things like paint work on the wooden boarder, arbor over waterfall, rails, aquatic plants and fish. here are some pics; Mia, thanks again for the pump and filters, it is working great, lift lot of water. Thank you all for all those tips to make it happen. Here is a link that might be useful: Hot Bath Tub Water Garden...See MoreBath tub hand grip
Comments (3)Thanks, I have found some good information on the web, including some anchors for the drywall...but I think the stud is the answer. In my case I has access to the other side of the wall as it is in the space over my 2 car garage. This is unfinished space and the wall has insulation but no dry wall on the over-garage side. It seems it is also possible to reach the recommended 360 pound strength by simply backing the wallboard up where the screws come through. Lag bolts and "wing nuts" were suggested, but as I have access to the other side I can put in a wood backing. Now with bad luck I could find the best placement puts the holes right on the edge of a stud. Drilling through tile is also a new one for me, not sure a masonry bit will cut through the glaze - may need a special bit. What size screws did you drive into the studs? I'll see what is recommended/provided by the bar suppliers....See MoreIn ground poured bath tub, need info.
