The question that often begins to bother us at the end of the repair: how to hang on the wall, a glass or bookshelf , today has become very relevant. After all, the wall on which it is necessary to arrange any structure is not always made of brick or concrete, and the principle of fastening any objects depends on this.
In our master class, we show you how to properly hang a shelf on drywall yourself. It is very important to remember that it is necessary to install the shelf on the GCR using a special set of fasteners. Conventional dowels and screws can not withstand the load and destroy the surface of the drywall, so we will use the dowel - the umbrella. Its feature is that when screwing the screw or screw, the dowel cap starts to open, so it takes up most of the load and will provide a good emphasis, with a thin and fragile wall.
For the installation of our shelves we will need:
- polkaso concealed fastening, 30x80 cm, weight 3 kg;
- dowel - umbrella - 2 pcs;
- self-tapping screws 60x30 - 2 pcs;
- screwdriver;
- drill;
- level;
- pencil.
How to hang a shelf on drywall?
- To begin with, we are determined with the location of our design.
- Since the shelf needs to be hung exactly, take the level, and mark with pencil the exact places for the holes for the dowels.
- Selecting a drill of the desired diameter, using a drill, make 2 holes in the places of our marks.
- In the openings we insert dowels - butterflies.
- Now take the screws, and with a screwdriver, screw them into each dowel. The self-cuts we selected are 1cm larger than the dowels, we screw them not to the stop, but leaving 3-4 mm so that we can hang a shelf on them.
- Now, when we have prepared the fastening, we put our self-tapping screws on our shelf. Everything is ready, we can safely lay out on it all the necessary items.
