Hi all,
I'd welcome some pointers/advice. I need to fit some plywood kitchen base cabinets, and secure to a solid wall. The cabinets themselves are flat backed and it has been designed that there is a 67mm void behind to accommodate services etc. I've attached a photo if that helps showing the back of one of the cabinets, with roughly the sort of void that I'm looking at.
I was thinking of securing a timber batten 'rail' to the solid wall at the same height as I want the cabinets more or less: something like this:
https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Studwork-CLS-Timber---38-x-63-x-2400mm/p/107177
Then using angle brackets such as these, attached to the rail and then in turn secured to the top of the cabinet:
https://www.screwfix.com/p/essentia...ckets-silver-60mm-x-60mm-x-20mm-10-pack/930ta
The worktop is wood so I can recess a bit out of the reverse side where these brackets are, so it still sits flush on the top of the cabinets.
Is this the best approach? I appreciate I can do without the batten on the wall and get longer angle brackets but I thought this might be easier this way once I have this up (so I can just use timber screws to secure them all) and perhaps a bit more secure.
