Step 1: Paint the 2rod hairpin shelf brackets
The 2rod hairpin shelf brackets are unfinished and will need to be painted to prevent rusting.
Step 2: Hang your 2rod hairpin shelf brackets
Determine where you want to hang your shelf and use a stud finder to locate wall studs. If the spacing works out, you will be able to just simply screw the brackets into the wall. If not, you will want to mount wall anchors before screwing your shelf brackets to the wall.
Hold up the bracket where you will be installing and use the mounting hole to mark the spot with a pencil. Install one screw using your drill /driver in the shelf bracket and use your level to plumb the bracket before installing the 2nd screw. Repeat this process with the other bracket, using the level to make sure the brackets are even.
Once both brackets are secure, slide the shelf in between the two shelf brackets.
