Fixing breakfast bar to wall
Hi
What would be the best way of attaching a breakfast bar to a wall. Obviously the legs will be on opposite edge to the edge which is flush with the wall. I was thinking of screwing a batten to the wall, putting the worktop on this, then attach the worktop to the batten with "L" brackets? Any other suggestions? --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

Redesign batten for tidiness, possibly by sitting it entirely within a rebate in the bottom edge of the top. If there's no leg, then make a welded steel cantilever, which will need some vertical depth on its mounting plate. Screw this to wall, then rest breakfast bar on it. Again, you can rebate it into the top to hide it. You can even hide its cantilevered arms in grooves. |

The simplest solution would be drill the batten on two sides, then screw the to the wall with one set of holes, and screw up into the worktop via the other. You could even counterbore the holes going upwards to reduce the length of screws required. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

slider formulated the question :

I was thinking of screwing a batten to the wall, putting the worktop on this, then attach the worktop to the batten with "L" brackets? That is exactly what I did. I used rawlbolts to fix to the wall, as the fairly big screws eventually pulled out with kids banging into the table end. Also make sure the end of the table corners are rounded/45 angled, or you will live to regret it. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk |

With hinges and removable legs, so it can be stowed (if space is an issue). Phil |

I was thinking of screwing a batten to the wall, putting the worktop on this, then attach the worktop to the batten with "L" brackets? Any other suggestions? I did exactly that some 20 years ago with a 1 x 3 batten and some long screws. It eventually became detached from the wall - kids. I then used 3x countersunk 3/8 rawlbolts through some 2 x 3, plus steel L brackets to join the top to the batt on - which survived fine. Don't underestimate the leverage of kids crashing into the side of the table end. The OP did it 6 years ago. It's another one of those. NT |
