Mark brackets positions on wall. Use a pencil to mark the bracket fixing hole positions on the wall.
Create pilot holes(0.32 cm) by tapping a screw with a hammer or using a drill bit.
Screw the brackets into the pilot holes with a screwdriver(or use a carbide drill to drill pilot holes in concrete, stone, brick, or tile. Hold the drill so the bit is at a 90° angle to the wall, and drill the pilot holes each 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep).
