How to hang a dartboard in a metal frame house?

I recently received a dartboard in a frame. 
I have a metal frame house

 

dumb question. How do I mount it? I’ve only ever mounted to a wood framed house in past.

Re: hanging a dartboard metal frame house

Hello @BusterGonad 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about your installing your dart board.

 

If the dart board is quite heavy, it would be best if it was anchored to the steel stud of the house. This is on the condition that that it can spread between two studs. This would make it very secure, and I propose using an Tox M8 or Tox M6 Flip Toggle Bolt.

 

Another option is to place a timber panel across the two steel studs and anchor the cabinet to the timber panel. I suggest having a quick look at this discussion - How to mount TV on steel studs? by @ritawuau. The techniques suggested are applicable to your project.

 

If you need further assistance, please let me know.

 

Eric
