This may sound like a stupid question, but here goes……. If I am using dry wall anchors to mount a shelf to a wall and the anchors are rated for 50 lbs, do I get 50 lbs of weigh capacity for EACH dry wall anchor (ex. three anchors providing 150 l. weight bearing capacity) or is it only safe to use a TOTAL of 50 lbs for the total weight bearing capacity? Any thoughts on the preferable dry wall anchor?
Thanks as always for taking the time to read this.
