Step 10Hang on a wall
We were hanging on a chipboard wall in a gallery so to attach it we used 4 self-tapping screws (No. 8 x 50mm).
We measured the location of the 'keyholes' on sheet back and then marked out those onto the wall with pencil using, a plumb line and spirit level to make sure they were square.
We then drilled pilot holes for the screws, and screwed the screws into the holes leaving 1cm of the screw protruding. This is the depth of the back nut on the threaded bar.
Two people held the n up to the wall and guided it onto the screws and then slid it down to that it locked into the small part of the keyholes. The n will sag a little at the front under the weight of itself. This could be minimised by having the layers closer to each other than we have suggested, so that the whole piece wasn't so deep, but the movement is minimal.
We drilled a small hole into the chipboard wall and threaded the power cables though this so that they were hidden from view. And plugged it in.
And then it was finished.
