Support Frame

-Manufactured using 3/4″ thick unselected hardwoods.

-It is imperative that Floating Shelves be mounted to the recommended number of wall studs using two or more coarse thread screws at least 2-1/2″ in length per stud. The 6” and 12” Floating Shelfs should be mounted to one or more wall stud, the 24” to 48” Floating Shelfs should be mounted to two or more studs, the 60″ Floating Shelf should be mounted to three or more studs, the 72″ and 84″ Floating Shelf should be mounted to four or more studs.

-Maximum load capacity for the shelf and support frame is 10 lbs. per linear foot. While Floating

-Shelves are built from strong, sturdy materials, the load capacity of these shelves is dependent upon the quality of the installation screws and whether the shelves are secured into the wall studs. If not secured into the recommended number of studs using two or more high quality installation screws per stud, the shelf may not support the desired weight. Conestoga will not be responsible for shelf failure due to inadequate installation techniques or materials.
