Step 1
- Location of Shelf Mounting Bracket
Place the shelf on the wall above your fireplace or on the
wall at the desired height. Level the shelf and draw a line on the
wall at the top of the shelf. Remove the shelf and measure the distance
from the top of the shelf to the bottom of the mounting bracket (attached
to back of mantel). This measurement will be referred to as distance “X”.
Measure down distance “X” from the line previously drawn
on wall and draw a second line on the wall parallel to this first line. See
Fig 1.
Step 2 - Install Mounting
Bracket
The shelf mounting bracket is provided in shelf package. See
Fig 2. Line
up the bottom of the mounting bracket with the line and attach the mounting bracket
to the wall in this position. Make sure mounting bracket is level. If you are
mounting the bracket on a standard drywall over stud construction, make sure
you screw the mounting bracket into the wood studs (2x4's) for strength. When
attaching the shelf to a brick surface you must use a masonry lag bolt. Drill
three holes in the mortar joints of the brick in the desired position. Insert
lag and attach mounting bracket with a bolt. Make sure the mounting bracket is
secure to the wall. See Figure 2.
Step 3 - Install shelf on
mounting bracket
Secure horizontal Bracket (A) to the wall studs with three screws and three washers
(not provided). Important: Make sure this piece
is level. Hang shelf on mounting Bracket (A) with the Metal Hangers (B) already
attached to the back of the shelf and the front of the Mounting Bracket. See
Figure 3.
