How To Mount Teakworks4u Bench?

• Select the location for mounting the bench. Keep in mind that this bench is collapsible so be sure that there is enough clearance for proper operation of the adjustment mechanism
• Locate the wall studs. Depending on the type of stud sensor you have, you can also use it to locate any electrical wires or other obstructions on the wall. If you find electrical wires, water pipes or any other obstructions, it is best to choose a different location for your bench
• Measure up from the floor to the desired height of the bench. We recommend a minimum of 13" to a maximum of 18" but you can vary this according to your specific requirements. Make a mark on the wall for the height. Using your level, mark a level horizontal line to reference as you continue
• For easier mounting, the brackets on your bench are located at 16" on center, the same as most wall studs. Using the template at left, mark the locations of the mounting holes for each bracket. You can also have someone hold the bench in position while you mark the holes directly from the bracket
• Using a drill and a 5/32" bit, drill pilot holes in the wall being sure to stay centered on the stud. Be sure to check that all of the pilot holes line up with the bracket before proceeding. Make any necessary adjustments
• Again, have someone hold the shelf in place while you set the screws in place. Double-check the level of the bench. This is your last chance to make any minor adjustments. Once youre satisfied with the level, using your power drill, drive the screws firmly against the wall brackets. Do not over-tighten as this can compromise the strength of the bracket. Hand test all of the screws to be sure that they are solidly set in place
• Test the locking mechanism of the mounted bench, ensuring that the bench can be raised and lowered easily
• Load test the bench to confirm secure mounting

How to Measure for a Custom Bench?

• Length x Depth x Height= Bench Size Bench height can vary, but typically 17inches - 19 inches is pretty standard

Warning

• You must mount your bench directly into the center of the wooden studs of wall. 
• Do not attempt to mount into steel studs or with any type of wall anchor. This will not provide adequate support. 
• Be sure to include the thickness of the bench in your measurement calculations.

What is Burmese Teak?

• Made of pure heartwood from mature Teak trees grown in the Indonesia/South East Asia region
• Heartwood Teak provides an elegant piece with unique grain patterns and a beautiful rich color giving any area an immediate wow factor
• The high silica content in teak makes it an ideal wood to use when a slip resistant surface is needed and the natural oil makes the wood resistant to mold and mildew

How To Clean Wall Mounted Fold Down Bench?

• Cleaning can be done in your shower or outdoors if you want to move everything out there for more room 
• Do not use a powder washer 
• For quick cleaning simply apply water with a soft bristle brush in the shower area and lightly scrub the teak surface with a soft bristle brush. Then rinse the teak surface with clean water and wipe dry. 
• For deep cleaning we recommend a commercial teak cleaner to remove any mildew or discolorations that have accumulated. These cleaners would not strip the wood of its natural oils and non-slip characteristics.
