Introduction
Hanging a wall shelf, heavy picture or fastening other objects to a wall all require the same thing. That is to be attached directly and firmly, distributing weight to the wall to which they are fastened. The fastener used will vary according to the weight of the object and the type of wall construction.

Wall fasteners basically fall under lightweight and medium-heavy weight categories and hollow or solid wall designs. In this tutorial we'll look at the different types of fasteners to use based on wall type and object weight.
