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.
