Shelving above TV

[mjtefc9]

Hi

Can anyone help?

I have the attached shelves to go above the TV.. there will be 2 butt up together.

The thing is it is these rubbish fixings on the back, and it will be a stud wall.. I have marked where the studs are..

Any advice in fixing securely??

Thanks

Mark

Could I use kitchen cabinet brackets? And gripits ?

Gripits are ok but expensive.

Have a look at interset fittings (plus the setting tool).

You could cut 1 by 1 to fix to the wall and the screw down from the top if the baton will be obscured by the items on the shelves.

others may come up with better options though

I'd cut a strip of planed wood to the length of the inside of the cabinet, and screw this into the studs, then screw down from top of unit into the wood. Paint colour of wall.

what are you planning to load the shelves up with
i agree with jp suggestion providing load is not extreme

 

[mjtefc9]

Only pictures and ornaments...so where would you put the wood exactly?

The wood should be on the inside top of the shelf. Big enough to allow a long screw into the studs, and then a few screws from top into it to stop it sliding off.

6 right angle brackets fix at the three studs top and bottom of shelf unit .
Fix to wall first then unit, will be virtually invisible as most of the bracket will be hidden behind frame .
