finding supports

[dberg]

Will a stanard stud finder find the aluminum supports in the wall? I picked up some e-track and want to mount them on the side walls in the garage area.
Thanks

It should, as long as it's not the magnetic type. Best bet is to try it and see if where it indicates the studs are makes sense. Like are they evenly spaced.

The stud finder I have won't pick up the metal studs.

And yes, I tried it.

Mine does. it reads the thickness of material, so when it changes, it gives you a signal that grows stronger as you move toward the center of the post.
