If anchoring to plywood wall material, the plywood must be minimum 1/2-inch thick.
Use at least four (one in each corner) 1/4-inch wood screws with washers, of sufficient
length to penetrate at least 1/4 inch beyond the backside of the plywood.
Metal Studs (spaced at 12, 16, 20 or 24 inches)

If anchoring directly to metal studs, studs must be minimum 18 gauge. Use at least four
(one in each corner) #14 sheet metal screws with washers, of sufficient length to
penetrate at least 3 threads beyond the stud.
