Oak Beam Mantel Installation

How to Mount Your Oak Beam Mantel

Your guide to mounting your Country and Coast Oak Beam onto brickwork or masonry.

​

Tools needed:

Spirit Level, Pencil, Power drill, hammer, tape measure, 10mm drill bit & a spanner.

01

Using a spirit level, pencil a horizontal line at the height where you would like the middle of your Oak Beam Mantel Installation to be above your fireplace.

02

Now measure and mark with a pencil where the center of the beam is. Do the same on your wall.

03

Put the mounting pins into the pre drilled holes in the back of your beam. The screw ends of the pins will be sticking out

04

Two people should lift the beam up to the horizontal line on the wall. With the screw ends of the pins sticking out of the back of the beam align the center mark on the wall to the centre mark on your beam. The beam should be held close to the wall so that the screw ends now  touch the horizontal line. Where they touch the line make a mark. These marks will be your drill holes

Once all the pins are in place, lift up your beam and push halfway into place.
