Installation Guide

5
1. Remove leg/skirt kit and mantel shelf from boxes being careful not to confuse mounting boards due to different
lengths. Gather materials required to complete the installation. Always practice safety and use appropriate eye
and ear protection when using power tools.
2. Decide whether or not you are going to nish the mantel shelf and leg/skirt kit before or after installation. If
before, paint or stain the mantel shelf to the color of your choosing (follow nishing guidelines provided by
the coating manufacturer). If after, proceed to the next step and nish the mantel shelf and leg/skirt after the
following steps have been completed.
3. Place legs into position and set mantel shelf on legs aligning the center of the mantel shelf with the center of the
re place, ensuring the top of the mantel shelf is level and the legs are plum. Decide if the mantel shelf height is
to your satisfaction (if not, trim bottom of legs to desired length using a chop saw).
4. Draw a faint line down the wall along the outside of each leg.
5. Remove the mantel shelf and legs from the wall. Draw parallel pencil lines 1/2" inside each of the prior lines.
The inside lines mark the outside edges of the mounting boards (gure B). Complete this step for both legs.
6. Vertically align the outside edge of the mounting board to the inside of the line created in step 5. Attach leg
mounting board to wall using construction adhesive and appropriate hardware for mounting onto the surface
(drywall versus masonry materials).
7. Place legs into position against mounting boards, making sure openings are up and towards the inside.
Attach using nish nails or wood screws approximately every 12-18” (be sure to pre-drill any nail holes).
