Hi, so I am assessing if my exterior garage/outbuilding can support the weight of a wall mounted weight plate storage rack (See picture two for the rack), there would be two racks both weighing at 80KG~ when plates are fully loaded at two spread-out locations as marked in red, photo 1.
The wall is a single layer/skin, with columns in the centre and at each corners as in photo 1, with wooden beams on-top supporting the roofing.
Am I worrying about nothing and the wall can take the weight or is it a bad idea?
Is there any way to reinforce the wall or maybe use stringers to attach the rack to spread the stress? Open to ideas.
Thank your for your time, I am a novice at this so any advice is welcome.
