GARY C :

Hi my name is XXXX, X will do my best to solve your problem

GARY C :

You do not even need the wood, if you are just using a flat screen mounting kit, you just need to find the metal studs and use the expandable anchors that come with it

GARY C :

we use metal backing on metal studs all of the time for sinks and drinking fountains

GARY C :

your metal studs have should have drywall over them which will disperse the load and the expandable anchors will hold in the metal stud. You could get away with just using sheet metal screws as well

GARY C :
