Hi All - Does anyone know the best way or what type of bracker/hanger
to hang a heavy duty extension ladder (12ft closed, weighs around 50lbs
+) on a garage wall which is sheet rock. The only thing I came across
are these types of hangers (see link), but they don't seem to give
much support. These would presumably just go in the sheet rock because
I could not manually screw these into a stud and I would be afraid
they would tear out over time and come crashing down on my auto. Any
other recommendations would be most appreciated.

Thanks for all your help.

Read the whole thread - lots of good info. One thing missing - the
sensible way.

Of course this works only if you are not worried about thieves.

I borrowed a 24' from a buddy. He had it hanging in his garage and,
as is normal for all places with hooks, there was the ladder and all
sorts of other junk hung on top of it.

It now resides at my place until he needs it. Where? Hung on the
outside back of the garage under the eaves. Out of the way, out of
the weather and nothing is ever likely to be hung on top of it. Also
easy to get to as opposed to wrestling it out of a garage.
