Hardware Installation Guide
Clark
Wood Preparation
A. Choose your preferred wood species and
dimensions. We recommend:
1"- 5" thick x 8½"-10½" D x up to 48" L for 4½" kit
1"- 5" thick x 10"-12" D x up to 48" L for 7½" kit
1"- 5" thick x 12½"-14½" D x up to 48" L for 10½" kit
B. For shelves longer than 48" add additional
turnbuckles.
Wood Drilling
A. Layout all holes.
B. Drill the 1" diameter holes (if thicker than 1").
C. Drill the ⁄" Diameter holes.
D. Drill pocket holes or cut dado for cleat.
E. Install hardware per installation guide.
Note: A ½" x ½" piece of c-channel aluminum, or
equivalent, may be used as a cleat.
1Twist the turnbuckle eyebolts until
exposed threads are symmetrical. Loop
turnbuckle through the J-bolt and push
threaded portion of J-bolt through the
shelf, yo.
5Using marks made in step 4, draw
vertical lines using square.
4Mark top edge equal to distance A
inward from edges of shelf.
2Fix washers and nut onto J-bolt and
tighten with socket wrench until just
barely snug. Overtightening the nut will
damage the wood!
3With help, hold shelf up to wall in
desired position and level with bullet
level. Lightly draw lines on top edge of
level shelf and ends of shelf, mark
pocket screw holes. Hold cleat and mark
holes if using cleat. Tip: Use blue
painters tape to draw on wall.
