Thank you for your purchase!
These are the basic instructions on how to mount your mantel.
Please use CAUTION when handling the mantel as with any
distressed wood item splinters can occur.
*** Please check with your local building and safety
regarding how close the mantel can be installed to the
fireplace opening***
Tools/Parts Needed:
-Drill, Drill bits, level, tape measure, screwdriver
- 2X4 or 2x6 (7” height mantels) to be used as ledger (not included)
- (3) 3” wood screws use to mount ledger to wood studs or Red
anchors (brick installation)
- (3) 1 ¼” wood screws for top of the mantel and into the ledger
- (2) 1 5/8” screws for the bottom of the mantel (do not over tighten
these screws)
- (3) Red Head Polyset anchors For Brick installation (see diagram
below)
Step 1
Place the mantel along the wall where you want it mounted. Place a mark
at the top of the mantel. Place the mantel aside for now. Measure 3/4”
down from that first mark and place second mark. The Second mark is
where the ledger will go. If you haven’t done so cut the 2x4 or 2x6
(mantel with 7” height) down 2-3 inches shorter than mantel length size.
This will give you wiggle room to adjust side to side. Make sure the ledger
is level when mounting. Use the proper screws and or anchors depending
on what type of wall you’re mounting to. It is very important that the
ledger is mounted securely to the wall since the mantel will be supported
by it.
Step 2
Place the top lip of the mantel over the top of the ledger. Drill a starter
hole. Screw the mantel into the top of the ledger. Use at least 2-3 screws at
the top and or bottom. Use longer screws for the bottom but be careful to
not over tighten the bottom screws! Enjoy your new Mantel!!
