1. Select the location for mounting the bench. Keep in mind that Teakworks4u Wall Mount Bench is collapsible so be sure that there is enough clearance for proper operation of the adjustment mechanism.
2. Locate the wall studs. Depending on the type of stud sensor you have, you can also use it to locate any electrical wires or other obstructions on the wall. If you find electrical wires, water pipes or any other obstructions, it is best to choose a different location for your bench.
3. Measure up from the floor to the desired height of the bench. We recommend a minimum of 13" to a maximum of 18" but you can vary this according to your specific requirements. Make a mark on the wall for the height. Using your level, mark a level horizontal line to reference as you continue.
4. For easier mounting, the brackets on your bench are located at 16" on center, the same as most wall studs. Using the template at left, mark the locations of the mounting holes for each bracket. You can also have someone hold the bench in position while you mark the holes directly from the bracket.
5. Using a drill and a 5/32" bit, drill pilot holes in the wall being sure to stay centered on the stud. Be sure to check that all of the pilot holes line up with the bracket before proceeding. Make any necessary adjustments.
6. Again, have someone hold the shelf in place while you set the screws in place. Double-check the level of the bench. This is your last chance to make any minor adjustments. Once you are satisfied with the level, using your power drill, drive the screws firmly against the wall brackets. Do not over-tighten as this can compromise the strength of the bracket. Hand test all of the screws to be sure that they are solidly set in place.
7. Test the locking mechanism of the mounted bench, ensuring that the bench can be raised and lowered easily.
8. Load test the bench to confirm secure mounting.

How to Measure for a Custom Bench?

1. Length x Depth x Height = Bench Size
2. Bench height can vary, but typically 17" to 19" is pretty standard

Warnings:

• You must mount your bench directly into the center of the wooden studs of wall.
• Do not attempt to mount into steel studs or with any type of wall anchor. This will not provide adequate support.
• Be sure to include the thickness of the bench in your measurement calculations.
