Default Fixing wire wall-shelf unit

Hello,

My wife has bought a wire wall-shelf unit that I need to put up. I
don't have a photo of the same unit but it's fairly similar to this
one : http://www.homestansted.co.uk/images...shelf-unit.jpg

It's going onto a dry-lined wall and it's come without any fixings at
all. Unlike the one in the photo, ours has a single wire loop at the
top which looks like it could just be hooked over a nail or screw, but
I doubt that alone is likely to take the weight of what she's planning
on putting on it. Also it won't stop it from swinging from side to
side if someone bangs into it.

I think what I really want is some kind of fixing that wraps around
the wire shelf and screws back into the wall, but I can't find any
such fixings. The best I can think of at the moment is to use
plasterboard plugs with roundhead screws. Perhaps a couple of screws
under each of the shelfs to take the weight, with another just above
the shelf to stop it from lifting.

Anyone got any better ideas/suggestions.

Thanks

Steel P clips might do?, e.g.

Or book Travelodge or Brewer's Inn and hide.

I was thinking along similar lines, car brake pipe "P" clips come to mind.

My ESET NOD32 antivirus blocks access to that page. Why?

The whole website is blocked.
I can't say I've ever seen ESET display a message in quite that form.

Avast! lets it through and Avast is quite keen on blocking sites.

Very occasionally, ESET does come up with a false positive. But as I
said, I don't recall a website being blocked with a warning message in
this form. It almost looks like a spoof, but I can't see how.

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately!), ESET doesn't give you an obvious
option of letting it in (although there probably IS a way to do this).

When Avast blocks a site it offers only disconnection. I close the tab,
close Avast's box and then Delete Private Data (Opera 12) to clear the
cache.

So does AVG.

Looks like its just Norton's having a brain fart.

and Avast is quite keen on blocking sites.

Thanks for the responses. P-clips seem to be an ideal solution
providing I can find some of the correct size.

Screw a piece of thickish ply on to the face of the wall picking up on
the battens & secure your shelf to that.

And then hang a pair of knickers over it as it looks a ****.
