How to Level the First Shelf Bracket When Installing Shelves

Hey, it’s Dominic with expertvillage.com. Okay so we got the first guy up there, we got this thing leveled and I know it’s straight now, so I’m going to go ahead and put a couple of more anchors in this thing. Now you have one, two, three, four, you have five anchors that you could put in here well I know that I’m not putting 150 lbs. on this bracket I know there will probably be less than 50 lbs. total so I don’t technically need to put an anchor in each hole. I could probably get away with putting you know one here and one down at the bottom and that will give me enough support for what I’m doing so with this I’m going to level this out real quick, so it’s leveled which is and I’m going to put a bracket. Actually I’m going to put a bracket at the very bottom, use another screw and I’m going to put an anchor in the center, those are where my holes are. So what I do is I grab two more of my anchors and it works the same way. You just push this into the wall, keep a level, always have your goggles on, something I always forget to do and you don’t push too hard but enough to give it a drive when it stops and it’s snug you’re good to go and I’m going to go ahead and finish up the other one down here and we’re going to move into the next one to the next segment and we’ll take it from there.
