Anyone on the board who knows PHPBB3? We could do with a volunteer.

I had a similar thing when i relocated mine in the house. so i ended up cutting out the plasterboard to the size of the cabinet. recessing the cabinet flush against the brick. then trimmed the surround. worked out better as i have most of the cupboard for storing the peli boxes etc.Daryll wrote:Ovenpaa wrote:Take a look at new build houses, the vast majority are stud and board construction internally and I am sure some of them must have firearms.
Yep, my son had this problem when he went to install his cabinet. I'd advised him to fit it on an outside wall and that he'd probably have an inch or so of plaster/plasterboard, then he would be into the internal block wall, so to make sure he had long enough anchor bolts.
When he went to fit it he found he had a 1/2 inch of plasterboard then a 4-6 inch cavity before hitting brick...!!
On further research it turns out his new estate are all timber framed houses with a brick skin.
He managed to get multiple fixings into a wall stud and floor, so its rigid enough...
We considered that, but decided that as it would be fixed to the outer skin of brick, we'd have to be very careful how far we drilled into it, and there would be a problem of cold and damp transfer directly into the cabinet.Gh0st wrote:I had a similar thing when i relocated mine in the house. so i ended up cutting out the plasterboard to the size of the cabinet. recessing the cabinet flush against the brick. then trimmed the surround. worked out better as i have most of the cupboard for storing the peli boxes etc.Daryll wrote:Ovenpaa wrote:Take a look at new build houses, the vast majority are stud and board construction internally and I am sure some of them must have firearms.

If he's a builder, he should know the difference between an internal wall, and a party wall.CraigH wrote:Hi All,
I have just bought a 7 Gun cabinet so that I can apply for FAC, I was planning on fitting this weekend - I had planned on installing in a cupboard on the landing, I thought it would be an ideal place, no Windows, tucked into a cupboard and it's a brick (as I thought) external wall. I was happy that I had everything I needed until last night a Builder friend who has Shotguns told me I couldn't put it there as it's really an Internal Wall, it's a Terraced house so it's internal to my neighbours.
