Thinking of putting a strip-shelving system (Ikea Algot, for example) up in our utility room. Throughout the rest of the newly-refurbed flat, the landlord has clearly laid new plasterboard directly over old.
I bought this Studfinder and got to work mapping the wall.
In 'Stud' mode (scanning depth 19mm) it detected barely anything.
In DeepScan mode (38mm), it revealed a rough layout that could proved a good framework for the shelving strips.
How long a fixing should I use, and what type?
Should I consider any particular types of plasterboard anchors?
