Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Wall: Identify the desired mounting location. Ensure it is a structurally sound surface and consider the safety clearances from your fireplace. Use a stud finder to locate wall studs if possible for optimal support.
2. Attach Wood Cleat to Wall: Position the wood cleat at the desired height. Mark the drilling points through the pre-drilled holes on the cleat. Drill pilot holes into the wall. Insert wall anchors if drilling into drywall. Securely attach the wood cleat to the wall using the appropriate screws (round head screws for the cleat).
