To find the best arrangement measure the height and width of your wall. For denser shelving or heavier display or storage items you can use a stud finder to see if there s stud in the area you want to hang the shelf.

Wall studs offer additional support but if there are none available you can also use drywall anchors. Next hold up one of your mounting brackets at the desired height and mark the bracket s screw holes on the wall making sure that the holes are in line with the studs. To put up shelves pick out an open spot along the wall use a stud finder to locate 2 wall studs and lightly mark the 2 spots with a pencil. Draw a thin light line on the wall to show you where to hang the shelf.

This will make it easier when you go to drill in the top halves of the fasteners. Decide where you d like to hang the shelf and use a level to draw a horizontal even line where the shelf will go. Creating a series of rows is usually the easiest way to hang shelves so they fill up your wall.
