Appendix A – Anchor Management
♦ It can be argued that the wall anchor is the most critical component of the wall mounted
system. All of the weight of the unit, as well as the load introduced through play and use of the
equipment, ultimately must be supported by the wall anchors. Preparation of the wall, drilling
of the holes in the proper location and depth, and most importantly correct selection of the type
of anchor are all critical steps in the installation process.
♦ Due to the fact that there are so many different types of walls Jaypro is not able to supply the
wall anchors with the wall mounting kit at the time of shipment. We do, however, stock most
common types and you can purchase the anchors from us directly.
♦ All wall anchor hardware should be a minimum of ½” diameter.
♦ Below are diagrams showing preferred anchor pattern for various anchor locations for the wood
planks. These are intended only as a general guide. Field conditions and obstructions, mortar
joints and CMU web/cavity locations, sound proof blocking, all these present situations which
must be handled in the best way possible to insure a proper wall mounted installation.
♦ Use a minimum of 4 anchors for each attachment point.

♦ The following two pages lists three of the most common wall anchors. Before drilling a single
hole you must verify the type of wall you will be installing against and then procure the
necessary type and quantity of anchor to guarantee a successful installation. Immediately below
is a table listing acceptable anchor types for given wall compositions.
