There's a great trick I use for hanging pictures with 2 hanging points.
Tape a strip of masking tape across the 2 hanging points, mark the tape at the two points then apply the tape to a spirit level. Put the level on the wall where you want the picture to hang and voila

I actually just finished hanging all of our pictures and art, less than half hour ago.
Before you begin, go buy yourself

See what you drew on paper? Do the exact same thing, but on the wall and with masking tape.
You hang a lot of stuff with those?
I think we have used a few, haven't fallen out yet.


You ever have em fall out?

stop asking questions and consider making a viewpoint.

I know you are good people.
I am no hanging master...not gonna mislead the guy...he is very tired

I deferred on the request and waited for the active pro carpenter and builder guys

I pretty much only hang things that are anchored in solid wood myself

BJTT_Kiwi @BJTT_Kiwi - your dimensions only leave 60mm of total vertical gap...that means your frames will only be 15mm apart on the vertical.
is that what you're going for, the "two stacked columns" look?

Make sure to counter-sink those EZ anchors.
Gypsum termites could twist those right out.

check my math.
Thank you, that’s the layout.

Top left is a sensible starting point.
If it’s cool I’ll mark it up, take a pic, and wait for you to tell me I fucked it all up?

Sorry, the wall has lots of height.
Can go higher which will give more gap.
There’s another 200mm easy to play with (overall).
If you could stretch it to 30mm gap between the rows, that would be amazing.
Thank you

I'd help but (A) Filthy @Filthy is killing it and (B) I only use metric after I've crawled under my truck with standard and after trying a couple wrenches on my American truck's bolt I mutter "fuckin metric bullshit. What's this world comin to" as I crawl back from under the truck to get my other set of tools.
