Quesiton re. using toggles to mount traps in ceiling/wall corners

[ZAZ]

I have hollow ceilings and walls so figured that it will be safest to use metal toggles to mount my bass traps.

However, I am confused as to how you attach a hook to the end of the toggle once it has been screwed into the ceiling?

i thought that you would be able to buy toggles which have screw with a hook on the end - but i can't find any special toggles like this

i need two ceiling hooks for each trap

This is probably a stupid question but would appreciate if someone could shed some light on it!

thanks

thanks glen

only thing is i'm in the UK where you can't get OOKs - any ideas for comparable UK hooks?!!

"zaz" I'm in the uk too, seriously it's not worth messing around, it's alot of weight and you don't want it falling on your head or even worse, your equipment!

I ended up buying something from B&Q which is meant for screwing into a tree to attach a swing (a seriously heavy duty threaded hook). I then used a stud finder to locate the joists in the ceiling and screwed into those.

That's how I did it, hope it helps.

cheers for the advice mate, i reckon ceiling joists are gonna be the way to go, gonna get a stud finder and get on it

They can't ship them from there website to you?? I guess it would cost a arm and leg!

I've used both toggles and molly bolts successfully. Are you trying to hang ceiling corner traps or ceiling clouds?

Glen, I have hooks somewhat like these and want to mount these same type of panels w frames from wall to celing. I'm curious how do you measure where the ceiling and wall holes go? My celing is drywall popcorn ceiling.. Lucky me. Im gonna use those small round hooks and wire on the back of the actual panels' frames... Just don't know the measurements
Thanks
