Question 2

HANGING HARDWARE = D-rings steps

Mark Positions:

–> 1) Lay the cork board face down on a flat surface.
Measure approximately 4-6 inches down from the top corners of the board.
Mark the spots where each D-ring will be attached, ensuring they are at the same level horizontally via level/ruler/measuring tape

Answer 2

2) Position the D-rings over the marks.
Secure each D-ring with small screws using a screwdriver. Pre-drilling small pilot holes can make this easier and prevent wood splitting.

3) Measure the distance between the centers of the D-rings on the board.

Question 3

4) Decide the height and position where the board will hang.
Use a pencil and a level to mark the horizontal line where the D-rings will sit (level line).
Measure and mark the distance on the wall corresponding to the distance between the D-rings

Answer 3

5) Drill Holes:

Select a drill bit size that matches your wall anchors.
Drill holes at the marked positions on the wall.
Insert Wall Anchors:

Push or gently tap wall anchors into the drilled holes until they are flush with the wall

Question 4
