Safety Instructions
Make sure to use the correct tools recommended.
Wear proper protective gear.
Follow xture, power tools, paint manufacturers’ instructions, and users manuals.
Use common sense and follow good construction practices.
1. If needed, measure inside width of the
beam and cut wood blocking to t in-
side width dimensions. (Diagram A)
2. Simply attach wood blocking into studs
in desired installation location.
(Diagram B)
3. Apply adhesive to the 2 x 4 blocking.
4. Slide mantel over the 2 x 4 and screw
through the top of the mantel to anchor
it into the 2 x 4. (You can apply adhesive
on the edges of the mantel for extra
security.)
(Diagram C)
Note: We recommend using deck
screws as the thread pattern is made to
go through ner grained woods without
splitting and reduces the chance of any
damage.
