Step 1: Determine Basket Location

• Select a suitable location to hang your basket. It should hang well above head height to avoid people bumping into it. Ensure there is no wiring behind the wall location you choose.

• Hold the bracket up against the wall in the desired location. Using your pencil, mark the locations where screws will be required to secure the supporting bracket.

Step 2: Select Fixings

• Select heavy duty wall plugs and screws, as hanging baskets can get heavy especially when wet.

Step 3: Prepare Drill Bit

• Select a masonry drill bit and mark with tape a point longer than the screw on the drill bit. This will let you know if you have drilled a long enough hole for the screw.

Step 4: Drill Required Holes

• Drill into each of the marked spots to create holes just large enough to insert the wall plugs that will support the screws.

Step 5: Insert Wall Plugs

• Insert the wall plugs into the drilled holes and use a hammer to lightly tap them in, flush to the wall.

Step 6: Screw in Bracket

• Firmly screw the bracket into place.

Step 7: Hang Basket

• Hang the basket by its chain onto the bracket
