Drill holes in the horizontal bar of the H Fit right-angles of steel rod into the wall. /| /| /| /|______| /| /| /| Drop the holes in the H onto the upstanding ends of the steel rod. Owain Hey, I like it. Would have to use hefty L shape hooks rather than rod, they'd rust, and the ali rail would decay due to the dissimilar metals. Hmm. I worked out I could do it with plastic blocks, but wouldnt look very good. NT |

Drill and bolt through the ends into the wall. NT |
