Installation Instructions

2 “L” brackets are included to fasten the header to the wall. These brackets attach the top of the
header to the wall. Find a stud on each side of the wall to attach the header to the wall. The bracket
should be screwed to the wall rst and then the top of the header.
Shelf installation:
Set the shelf in place on top of the header. Be careful not to drop the shelf on the header or force the
t. Ease it in place and hold it there. Have someone mark with a pencil where the top of the shelf is
on the wall. Do this where the two studs on either side are located. Remove the shelf –Carefully!--
Measure the thickness of the top of the shelf, on the back side. This will tell you where to mount the
2” X 2” mounting strip (included) will be screwed to the wall. If you do this correctly your shelf will sit
square on top of the header. Screw the mounting strip to the wall, into the studs with some adhesive
behind the strip to hold it better to the wall. Dry t your shelf to make sure it lines up right. Don’t let it
go; hold on! If it works, take it down.
Now put construction adhesive on top of the mounting strip to help hold the shelf in place.
When you set the shelf for the last time you will need to pre-drill and countersink 3 holes in the top of
the shelf (left, right and center) that you will put 3” screws through into the mounting strip.
When screwing the shelf in place make sure you don’t over tighten or the shelf may crack!
If you damage the surround there are materials to repair the nish and any chips you have created.
