5 Strongest Ways To Hang ANYTHING From The Ceiling! (Easily Hang 100+ lbs. From Ceiling!)

When it comes to ceiling mounting, I don't like to take chances. This short video from The Honest Carpenter will show you the 5 STRONGEST ways to hang things from the ceiling!

Typical plastic expansion anchors, even selfdrilling plastic anchors, aren’t strong enough to hang things from the ceiling!

They rely on compression within the drywall or plaster itself, and the TENSIONAL FORCE of gravity is too strong for this type of connection.

Instead, I like to at least use TOGGLE BOLTS...and the newer TOGGLERstyle bolts are even more convenient.

If I need to hang something over 10 lbs. from the ceiling, I’ll often FIND A JOIST to hang from instead. Joists are the framing lumber in our ceilings and floors, and it’s extremely strong. You can easily hang over 100 lbs. from a joist with the right hardware!

If I can’t find a ceiling joist where I need one, I may install BLOCKING from above in the attic. Or, I may cut open the drywall and install it from below.

If you don’t want to install blocking pieces, you can also add a surface cleat to the underside of the drywall, and mount screw hooks or eye hooks into the cleat.

And, in some rare cases, you can hang threaded rod from a framing member above the room, and mount things to the underside of the threaded rod with washers and bolts.

Thanks for watching!
