Some People conneced the partition to the wall, what's the best way to do this? Is Bamboo easy to put a whole in? Also, how can it be attached to the ceiling too? Thanks!

I drilled pilot holes through the side end piece and then screwed it to a stud in the wall. You will split the wood if you skip the drilling step! For attaching it to the ceiling I put a hook in the ceiling right above the open end of the bamboo wall and a hook at the top of that end piece and tethered the two with a piece of ribbon. It just keeps it sturdier on carpet and because it is dividing my boys' room in half.

The Bamboo was very easy to put a hole in it. We attached to a dry wall with dry wall screws (3 of them alongside the frame). I can not answer the "ceiling question". It is too small for a regular celing unless you want to hang it from there. Again, no expereince with the ceiling.

Wall: Sure, just drill some holes carefully in the wooden stick attached to the vertical edge, so as to not crack the stick-wooden part.Ceiling: That's a pretty unusual idea. I think it's too heavy for suspending above or over your living space because it might fll down and hurt you. Try a lighter bamboo windowshade for that job instead.

Drilled a pilot hole through the thick ends- then screwed them in. For the ceiling- there is quite a bit of weight- so it might be difficult- the middle slats would be hard to screw though without breaking them.

The shelf corners hang from a vertical support arm (uprights?) that has a inch or two wiggle room. They connect to a brace that must be anchored into solid wood (ceiling joists) on either end of the vertical support arm. You'll need to install bolts from the outside so the shelf cannot be so close to the wall that you can't install, and tighten the bolt. There was a series of back and forth install steps that I needed to go through before I had the shelf put up properly, but I am happy I went with this product. It looks solid and dependable. Good Luck

Dear friend,I did not secure it to the wall. It stands there stably. You are able to put something such as small piece of thin wood or sth. else underneath its front lower cornerpoints in order to make sure it is stable.

I agree it is easy to assembly if you follow the instructions carefully. Pay attention to the part about making sure it is perfectly square before tightening the front bolts. I have the Gladiator mounting boards that this hangs on. I did not need to mount directly to a wall, which would require drilling holes in the back for screws into wall studs. I would not advise doing that.

I have seen people do that before. I think you just need to be ABSOLUTELY sure about the strength of whatever you're anchoring it to. It doesn't take up a lot of space so other than hanging/safety techniques it's a cinch. I hope that sufficiently answers your question.

thank you for responding! i searched the user product reviews for "wall" and found a few others who ended up mounting it to the wall, so i'm seriously considering it now. it is much cheaper to buy this at the discounted price and mount it to the wall then to buy a bunch of the sky climbers that are made to be mounted to the wall.

I see there are a cou[le of holes on the back to hook it onto. Its seems to be light enpugh to hang on a wall in decent shape. My wall space is taken by closets so I didnt have a place to hang it. Wish I could hang it. Hope this answers your question.

They were really easy to put up. It came in two pieces which you can line up the way you want it and you just peel the back and put it on the wall. The only thing for us was that we decided after we put it in that we wanted to move it and that was hard.

The best way is with both glue and staples. The glue will help hold it more securely. You can use staples to attach to the walls. Thank you.

For mounting to a wall with baseboards it came with 1 Vertical mounting tube and 3 plastic wall spacers . You put screws through all of those and into the wall. I would use wall anchors (good quality molly's) if you don't have a stud behind the sheetrock in the space you are mounting to. I don't think it came with wall anchors. We just cut a long piece of wood and painted it to match before mounting it and then you have equal support behind the mounting bars all the way down. We love the gate and the piece of mind it provides.

I could not find anything in the instructions that mentioned a flush mount or how to mount the unit flush (against the ceiling) so I used the shortest drop rod.My ceiling height in the small bedroom I installed this unit in would not allow me to use the light kit as I would be bumping my head into it as it would hang too low.The ceiling fan works great without the light kit and looks very nice, but I would have preferred a light that I could have used. Also instructions for installing the fan without the light are not in the supplied instructions, you must get them online, which I found irritating. It's very simple, but it should be included on the instruction sheet.

It should have come with a piece of wood that has two drilled holes on it. You screw that piece of wood into the wall and hang your unit on it. If it didn't come with that piece of wood you need to contact them through Amazon and to ask them to send it...along with instructions!

I had a look at this last night. The unit has four vertical posts that connect to the ceiling (make sure they are centered on the rafter studs by test drilling). You can cut these with a hack saw or chop saw. Watch ruining the finish or plan on touching them up (if you care) and file the inside edges. The horizontal pieces each have a vertical leg. This will need to also be cut but since it goes inside the vertical posts you can be less careful with the appearance.

Hi there, My wife and I installed this piece by peice. It can't be rolled on the wall as we originally thought so we used a scissor to cut section out and put it on the wall that way. It takes a long time but looks good when it's done. Hope this helps.

I simply screwed it to the wall with the screws supplied. It's better if you can locate the wall studs or you will need to use plastic sheetrock fasteners after drilling the appropriate sized holes.

I have several on a shelf I mounted on the wall. They are partly open in the back, so you could try putting 2 picture hanger-type hooks in the wall (level and about 7 1/2" apart) and catching the back of the unit on the hooks. I'm not sure how secure this would be, so I'd squeeze the hook as tight as possible to make it hold snuggly. I'd give it a good firm wiggle & tug before putting anything in it. Don't use it if it's not really secure; you don't want it falling off the wall once it's loaded. A shelf might be better.I think if you try to drill holes in the plastic it will crack the plastic.

We did not get hardware to do it, but if you purchas it separately and secure the tops to he wall (hardware for that included) I do not see why it would be a problem. It's a nice idea.
