BASICS
A few simple tools are required:
- Measuring tape
- Power drill, drill bits
- Hex head and/or Phillips driver bit
- Pencil
Additional fasteners other than those sent with your
shade may be required depending on the mounting
surface. Wallboard and plaster require the use of
anchors such as expansion or toggle bolts. Brick, tile
or stone need special plugs and drill bits. Remember
to always pre-drill holes in wood to avoid splitting.
