If it is just in drywall ( that’s plasterboard right?!) I would be wary of putting any weight on it at all, likely just to pull through, I would be tempted to use some Gripit fixings, they are rated for 93kg per fixing for the largest ones, so could probably get away with smaller than that, I have hung heavy TVs off them with no issues.

Planning to put a scaffold board up the full length of the wall in our living room. Conveniently its just under 13ft so a scaffold board should fit with minimal trimming.
Hung all of the brackets this morning, and plan to put timber laths on the walls it meets at either end for additional support. As I was drilling the holes I noticed that it's mainly just drywall it's going into (drywall/space/something harder and more brittle than drywall, but not sure if it's block).
On a scale of one to certainly, how likely is it to pull my wall down once I put the board up and start loading it with bric-á-brac?
