How to hang crates on wall.

You can always cut brown paper cut outs and stick them to the wall to help you decide. The two studs should line up with the back of the milk crate. Then thread some washers onto a screw so they will catch the crate hold it up and screw into the anchors pulling the crate to the wall. So i reached for two 50 lb.

Choose a straight board that s not twisted or cupped. Hang your crates once everything was dry and ready to go i hung my crates up on top of the brackets. Board but you can match the length to the number of crates or baskets you want to hang. In my case my crate weighs about 12 lbs.

Drill into the wall with an 1 8 1 4 pilot bit through any of the open spaces in the bottom of the crate in two places preferably at a diagonal to one another. We used a 6 ft. Set your object down. Since i used only two wooden crates i settle with the typical layout of two hanging shelves being adjacent with one another horizontally.

Of pressure on anything in my home start by holding your object up against the wall where you want to hang it. Line your first crate up with the lines. Stain your crates by brushing on the stain and quickly wiping off the excess with a rag brush with the grain of the wood let dry. Make a pencil mark at the top of your object.

When you find a stud mark it with a pencil. If you do simply screw them to the wall make sure not to put too many heavy things inside them. Some stud finders beep when finding a stud while others flash a light. Be careful to direct your screws into the thicker corners of the crate so that they don t come through and poke you from inside.

When you are satisfied with the smoothness of your wooden crate s surface you can now start placing your crates on your wall to think of a good layout for your hanging shelves. Rub the wax in very well with the dry brush. Find another stud across from the first one. Plan your crate arrangement for your wall area and hang them using the appropriate hardware for the type of wall you re drilling into etc.

We purchased crates at a home center.
