    Shower Basket Support Options
    Hello,
    Got a shower basket - https://www.amazon.com/KOKOSIRI-16-I.../dp/B08GKVKM7H
    to attach to drywall over shower tile. Tile does NOT go to ceiling, There is about 18" drywall between where tile ends and ceiling.

    Can fix one screw on the stud. the other would be on drywall (with anchor).

    Concerned that just two screws might not be able to support the Basket and was thinking of attaching some clamps spaced every few wires in the diagram.
    What are some other options that is also NOT ugly that would get S.O's approval also?

    You could use a 3/4 board securely attached to stud with 2 1/2 - 3" screws. Put some liquid nail or caulking on back for additional stability.

    Then mount the basket to that board.

    This gives you some finishing options too. You can router the edges, paint or stain. Carve some details. Whatever you want.

    In commercial applications, we affix plywood between the studs prior to wall board installation. If there is access, you can screw some wood to the studs right behind the wall board, to act as blocking for the bracket. Then you don't need any anchors or clamps.
