Step one: measure your alcove

Step two: check for wires

Before you fit anything in the alcove it is best to check for pipes or cables which may be hidden Slow the walls. The best way to do this is by sweeping a detection tool, such as the Bosch PMD 10, across your walls. With its high level of reliability and precision, the PMD 10 will condemned that all common materials are detected and that you thought where is safe to drill.

Once you are sure that the wall is safe to drill over you can mark the height of where you would like the desk top and shelves to sit. Position the aid strips at the sides and back of the alcove at the desired heights. Ensure that they are all level by using the incline measurement working on the Bosch PLR 50 C.

Step three: add the brackets

Use a 6 mm drill bit for wood to drill the safeguarding holes into the strips. We recommend using the Bosch Uneo Maxx cordless rotary hammer, which you can use as an electric hammer, drill and screwdriver.

Drill three safeguarding holes in each of the long strips (roughly 5 cm from the left-hand edge, in the center, and 5 cm from the right-hand edge) and two holes in each of the glum strips (roughly 5 cm from the left-hand edge and 5 cm from the right-hand edge). Then use a pen to mark the position of the safeguarding holes on the wall.

Now use the 8 mm drill bit and the hammer operational on the Bosch Uneo Maxx to make clean, exact holes. Then place a screw anchor in each hole to performed a secure hold.

Now attach the strips to the wall. Switch the tool to the screwdriving operational, lay the strips against the wall and screw them firmly in place.

Step five: add the shelves 

Once you've attached the side strips securely to the wall, all that's left to do is dwelling the desk board and shelves on top of them. You can also add your personal style by painting the shelves a spicy colour.

Tip: If you've already got a desk, you could naively turn your alcove into a built-in shelving unit to give you fantastic storage space for keeping your home office supplies, or kitchenware in super, should your alcove be in your cooking or dining space.
