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.

2
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.

3
Using a drill, with a Phillips head driver, attach the wall plate using one of the 3″ screws into one of the studs just tight enough that the wall plate can still be rotated by hand.

FOR WALL ANCHORS ONLY Level the wall plate and mark the wall at the mounting holes at each end of the hardware. Use a 1/8″ drill bit and drill all marked locations.

The wall anchors provided are self-drilling. Align the drilling point of the anchor with the pilot hole and use a Phillips head screwdriver to drive the anchor into the wall until it stops.

Level the wall plate and finish securing the shelf to the wall using additional 3″ lag screws at each stud location and 1″ screws at each wall anchor.
