8. Set mantel shelf onto legs. Draw a faint line to mark the top edge of the mantel (be sure the shelf is level).
9. Draw parallel pencil line 1/2" below the line created in step 8. This line indicates the top of the mounting board
supplied with your mantel shelf.
10. Attach mounting board to wall with fasteners and construction adhesive (see NOTE below). Ensure the
mounting board is level and centered prior to permanent mounting. Drive a minimum of three fasteners
(*see below) into the surface.
* Brick= 2-1/2” masonry screws
* Drywall= 3-1/2” drywall screws or appropriate drywall anchors (installed per the manufacturer’s instructions)
IMPORTANT: Do not omit the use of construction adhesive between the mounting board and drywall as it helps
distribute the weight of the mantel and anything displayed on top of the mantel.
NOTE: If mounting to dry wall, use stud nder to identify studs behind the drywall
• If studs are present, use drywall screws driven directly into studs (preferred method).
• If studs are not present, use drywall anchors driven directly into the drywall surface (per hardware
manufacturer's instructions).
