| Feb 29, 2016 at 17:50 | comment | added | Markpelly | That is one of the options I was looking at as well. I am having a hard time finding one that is larger than 1/4" though. Edit: I found some...but the ones I found have a pretty small span on the wings. amazon.com/Toggler-Snaptoggle-Toggle-Drywall-Molly/dp/… | |

| Feb 29, 2016 at 17:31 | comment | added | Markpelly | This is exactly what I was thinking. I assume I will have to check out different variations of this type of anchor to see the weights it will hold. Right now there is probably about 7/8in (1/2 cement board + mortar + standard tile width) of material between the open cavity in the wall and tile wall, I am hoping this will be nice and strong. Spreading the weight of the load with a wide anchor sounds acceptable. | |
