Tag: making a french cleat

To provide the illusion of no assistances, floating shelves are secured on the wall using cleats. These are strips of timber virtually the size of the shelf that are drilled right into the wall surface studs as if the racks fit flawlessly over them. To make cleats, you'll need to gauge for cleat density exactly. Action the inside length of the door, inside out, in addition to the precise width. Cut a 2- x 4-inch piece of timber at the same size as the cleat. After that adjust the other dimensions for elevation.
