sult local building codes and a structural engineer to
ensure the use of appropriate fasteners.
• Minimum 4 structural fasteners required for wall
bracket, corrosion protected steel, diameter 1/4 in.
• Minimum 4 structural fasteners required for foot

All fasteners must engage 1.5 in (3.8 cm) with a
structural member. If mounting into stud framing
use a stud finder to locate the center of the stud.
• If mounting into stud framing, the bracket must be
fastened to a minimum of two separate structural
members.
• If mounting to a foundation or masonry, make sure
fasteners are clear of any mortar joints.
• If stud is greater than 16 in on center, a cross brace
must be used.
• If mounting on vinyl siding, unistruts must be used.
• Brackets must be level.
• Verify distance between shelf bracket and bottom.
