Determine where you want to place your shelf. Make sure the wall is suitable
for hanging the shelf. The wall should have either 2×4 or 2×6 construction.
You will need to secure the hardware to at least 1 wood stud, more are
preferred. Determine the height you want the top of your shelf, and measure
down 3/8″. This will mark the top of the wall plate for the mounting hardware.

Using a stud finder locate and mark the studs. *If you are mounting to a
single stud or the ends of the wall plate are more than 2″ (2 mounting holes)
away from the nearest stud, the ends of the wall plate will need to be secured
with wall anchors.

the 3″ screws into one of the studs just tight enough that the wall plate can
