Instructions

    • 1

      Set the two 20-inch boards on edge, parallel and spaced 6 inches apart. Position the 1-by-6-by-10-inch boards between them at right angles so the boards are on end and flush with the ends of the 20-inch boards. Screw through the 20-inch boards and into the edges of the 6-by-10-inch boards. Use 12 screws for this task. This is the frame to your game rack.

      Lay your frame flat so it is resting on either set of edges. Place the 18-inch board between the 6-by-10-inch boards at a right angle so it is laying flat. Screw through the 6-by-10-inch boards and into the ends of the 18-inch board. Use two screws for each end.

      Locate studs in the wall where you wish to mount your game rack. Position your game rack against the wall using your level on top of the 20-inch board to ensure that it is horizontal. Screw two screws through the 18-inch board and into each stud to secure the game rack to the wall.
