how to install a breakfast bar

Post by periklis_sale »

Hi guys

i am looking for your help....

i had installed a breakfast bar in the kitchen, attached one side on the wall (plaster boards with dry wall plugs for screws) and the other end with supporting legs. Unfortunately someone pushed the bar so one of the plugs came out of the wall so i will have to re-install it. What is the best way of doing it?

i was thinking to install a piece of wood with long screws (left over from kitchen wall cabinets) and screw the brackets (3 now not as before only 2) on the wood

What do you think? Any advice?

Thanks

You need to try and find the wooden studs in the wall and you could attach your timber to that , You should have at least one there or 2 if your lucky.Also you need to fix the leg.

Is the wall studwork or plasterboard over block?
