Mount wall brackets
Lower wall bracket
1. Beginning with the right stud, measure 1.75” up from the mark of each of the bottom cross
members, and drill a pilot hole into the stud
2. Fasten a wall bracket to this stud with a 1/2” Lag Screw (15) and 1/2” Washer (16), but do not
fully tighten
3. Using the same measurement on the leftmost stud, drill a pilot hole and fasten the left side of
the wall bracket in the same fashion. Use a level to ensure the bracket is level horizontally
4. Finally, drill pilot holes through the remaining hole(s) and fasten lag screw(s) as needed, but
do not fully tighten
Upper wall bracket
1. Using the same procedure as with the lower bracket, attach the upper bracket 1.75” above
the mark from the upper cross members, starting with the rightmost stud
2. Repeat on the leftmost stud
3. Drill pilot holes through the remaining hole(s) and fasten lag screw(s) as needed, but do not
fully tighten
Aligning wall brackets
1. Once both wall brackets are loosely secured to the wall, level the upper bracket and fully
tighten the lag screws (being careful not to over tighten)
2. Hang a plumb line from the left side and align the bottom bracket to be aligned with the upper
bracket
3. Once the lower bracket is aligned and level, tighten the remaining screws
