How do I install shelf supports correctly?

For the correct installation of shelf brackets, you should follow these steps:

• First, you need to decide on and mark the positions of the shelves. Use a measuring tape and a pencil to mark the exact position of each bracket on the wall. Also consider how deep the shelves should be.
• After marking the positions, drill holes in the wall. Make sure to use the correct drill bit size and not to drill too deeply.
• You can now insert the wall plugs into the holes. Push them in until they are flush with the wall.
• Next, attach the shelf brackets to the wall. Insert the screws through the pre-drilled holes in the brackets and into the wall plugs. Tighten the screws firmly, but not too tightly.
• Finally, place the shelf board onto the brackets. Make sure the board sits securely and is aligned. If necessary, you can also screw the board to the brackets.

Remember to always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and, for heavy shelves, consult a professional to ensure the wall can bear the weight.
