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 |

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). -- Ian |

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. -- Peter.

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. |
