    How to mount a utility sink (with legs) to the wall.
    I'm trying to figure out how to retro fit my stand-up utility sink so that it is mounted to the wall of my garage. I do not want the front legs of the sink to be in the way (for cleaning purposes) and I couldn't find a wall mounted version in my area. Does anyone have any ideas of how to mount this to the wall?

    Is this the plastic or fiberglass type? If so, I'd use molly's.

    Those front legs are there for a reason. They carry the weight of the utility sink when the tub's full of water. You can try Ricks toggle bolts to secure the sink to the studs but don't be surprised if, after filling the sink with water, they don't pull right through the plastic. Let us know how you make out. Regards, Tom

    I've reconsidered my original plan and I'm thinking of building a cabinet for it. This way I can hide the plumbing and I get storage room under the sink too.

    Great plan! Works for me! You know they make drop in utility sinks that you can mount in a cabinet. Regards, Tom
