Question

How do you hang something on sheetrock if you have metal wall studs? The item is a very heavy shelf, so anchors aren't going to cut it.

I think you can use toggle bolts based on my experience with them and on the ratings given here: http://www.powers.com/pdfs/plastic/togglebolt.pdf.

Use heavy duty anchors spaced appropriately. If anchors will not do it, attaching to a stud will not work either and the object must be hung from a joist.
