2. 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.

3. Step 2: Select Fixings
• Select heavy duty wall plugs
and screws, as hanging
baskets can get heavy
especially when wet.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Step 6: Screw in Bracket
• Firmly screw the bracket into
place.

8. Step 7: Hang Basket
• Hang the basket by its chain
onto the bracket
