Tips for Installing Wall Mounted Shelving

After shopping around, you finally found the perfect wall mounted shelf but now, you are unsure how to install  it.  Remember, even if you are not overly handy, you can always do the  installation on your own simply by knowing how.  Of course, the other  option would be to spend even more money hiring someone to do the  installation for you but why.  As you will discover, wall mounted  shelving units are made today so they are much easier to install,  perfect for any homeowner.

What you will discover is that installing  wall mounted shelving is not that difficult.  Of course, if you have  chosen a large or heavy shelving unit then you would likely need the  help of a friend.  Once your new shelf is up, the room will look amazing  and you will have a much more functional way to show off your favorite  collectibles.

Start by making sure the wall on which the wall mounted shelves will be installed is cleared of any artwork  and if you plan to do any painting, this should be done first.
Next, get all the needed tools  together.  Depending on the wall mounted shelves purchased, you may be  provided with an instructional sheet that tells you the tools needed but  if not, you will probably need a level, pencil, screws, and screwdriver  (with appropriate bit head).

Typically, people install wall mounted shelves so they are centered on a wall but  the most important thing is to find the wall studs.  This can be done  with an inexpensive stud finder or you can gently tap on the wall with a  hammer or the end of a screwdriver, listening for a solid sound.  Areas  of the wall that sound hollow do not have studs.  The reason this is  important is that you want the screws to go into the wood studs, which  is what gives the shelving stability and security.

Next, determine the appropriate space  between where the mounts will go, making a small mark with the  penci. lWith the level, check the marks just made to be sure they are  level so once the mounts  and brackets are  installed and shelves hung, they will be perfect.  Simply make any  adjustments on your pencil marks for the next step.With the pencil marks in place, mount  the standards to the wall and attach the brackets. Once the brackets are screwed firmly  in place, all you need to do is place the wall mounted shelves on the  brackets and adjust so they are sitting in the right position.

As soon as the wall mounted shelf is on the brackets, you are ready to  start organizing the items you want displayed.  Remember, wall mounted  shelves can be hung as standalone or multiple units that are symmetrical  or staggered, depending on the look you prefer.
