Prep the Installation SurfaceUpdated 7 months ago
Using the shelf as a template, place it against the surface you would like to install.
Place a level on the shelf or on the top edge of the shelf and make sure the shelf is level before marking the positions of the holes.
Tip: If your intended install location is an awkward to reach spot, you can make a template using paper. Place the paper behind the shelf, line up the top edge with the top of the shelf, and mark the four holes. Poke holes at the four marks and use the paper as the template. A level should still be used on the top edge of the paper to ensure level mounting.
Using a 9/64" drill bit, carefully drill pilot holes for the screws in each of the four marked locations.
Tip: Mark the drill bit with a sharpie at a depth that will NOT punch through the thickness of the wood being used.
