Is this still done in all, most construction done by professionals?

Have you been to a construction site lately?

I had BIG problems here dogs would play on bed against window, rip
down rods and bend rods.

finally hhad a buddy make up steel plates with 6 holes for each holder
and flat steel bar acting as rod.

its been no problem ever since but the thing is so heavy if it did
fall it would hurt or seriously injure me.

so i confoirm its secure occasionally.

the large plates give lots of space for toggles and a wood screw in
what remains of the wood inside the wall
