We fix wall shelves

We fix wall shelves

Not everyone will be able to attach the shelf to wall so that not to break interior design and to receive reliably recorded result, but not the lopsided unsteady design. That your wall shelves have been attached ideally, use for this purpose number of cunnings.

Preparation for work

The electric drill, rail template, joiner's glue, fixing set, the coupling and threaded bar will be necessary for you for attachment of the shelf. Also prepare anchor bolt 180 millimeters long and strip of silicone rubber which will prop up the shelf from below.

The rail which will serve you as template for drilling has to have length equal to shelf length.

As wall shelves you can use board piece for windowsill which possesses artificial covering. Width of elbow board has to be up to 200 millimeters, thickness – 25 millimeters. Also the wooden glued board up to 250 millimeters wide and 30 millimeters thick will be suitable for this purpose. For the children's room choose beautiful bright regiments with drawings and special book holders.

We attach the shelf to wall

As support for the shelf attached to wall the anchor bolt will perform with thread for screwing up in metal and tree. One end of such bolt which is fixed in wall can fasten in dowel.

You remember: the wall shelf is thicker, the stronger it is necessary to choose the bearing support for it that it has not collapsed.

Having chosen the shelf, drill openings which have to be located about 5 millimeters below than its upper surfaces in its back part. If this shelf is intended for books or other heavy things, place the bearing support at distance which does not exceed 50 centimeters from each other. Openings in face part of the shelf and dowels in wall have to coincide as much as possible. For this purpose take rail template, apply it to rear side of the shelf and drill drill which diameter is 8 millimeters. Then apply rail to wall – already drilled openings which are ideally corresponding to openings in regiment will specify to you sites of wall where it is necessary to make some more openings drill of the same diameter. If you drill opening under dowel drill with a diameter over 10 millimeters, it is better to drill in two approaches. At first make opening drill half of smaller diameter then take 10-millimeter drill. You will be able easily to screw in anchor bolt by means of electric screwdriver and the coupling with thread on one end - the bolt at screwing in has to enter it half. Having fixed the shelf, grease bolt with glue, record rubber strip under the shelf and your shelf will serve to you belief and the truth for many years. Besides you will be able to dismantle easily it in case of need.
