| Two styles of wooden mounting brackets are available for
Log Style Mantels. Brackets are not always necessary to install a mantel so
check with your dealer to see what they recommend. For mantels up to seven
feet long two brackets are usually used, but more might be required
depending on the weight of the mantel you choose. If you need a bracket, or
if you just prefer the look of a wood bracket, here is what we have
available. TRIANGLE BRACKET- These brackets are about 8 x 10 inches and 4 inches thick. They can be installed before the face material, or if the surface of the stone or brick is relatively flat, they may be installed after the face is up. These brackets are available in the full variety of Log Style Mantel species and styles.

| SQUARE BRACKET- These brackets are about 4 inches square and 24 inches long and come in the carved style. They are available in the same species as the mantels. These brackets normally should be installed while the fireplace is under construction since they will be fastened to wall studs or imbedded in masonry. The bracket is carved on three sides and the end. The fourth side is flat and the mantel will rest on it and may be fastened with construction adhesive or long screws |
