I've had the original Rail mounted in my studio and home for about a year now and while it looks and functions wonderfully, I noticed some room for improvement. So here's version 2!

In the first design, printed set screws held the brackets and attachments to the dowel. Now, the design doesn’t need set screws at all, making it faster to print, easier to install, and cleaner looking.

The top and bottom brackets have closed ends that sandwich the dowel in place, and the sliding dovetail attachment is secured with a small wedge inserted from the bottom.

You'll notice there are two sizes of Sliding Dovetail Attachments. The larger size fits all of my large wall mounted planters as well as the small size if it has the new under-mount drip tray (Example).

If you're using a small size of the original design (Example), use the small Dovetail Attachment.

How to mount to your wall

1. Slide dovetail attachments onto dowel
2. Insert wedge into attachments from the bottom. Use a flat head screwdriver to push the wedge all the way in and secure the attachment to the rail
3. Place top and bottom wall mounts on the ends of the rail
4. Insert the keyhole markers into the keyhole slots on the top and bottom wall mounts
5. Firmly press against wall in desired location and the keyhole markers will make an indent where you need to drill
6. Drill holes using a 3/16" drill bit
7. Insert wall anchors and screws (#8 - #10 x 1" screws and anchors)
8. Make sure the screw head is sticking out just far enough to tightly fit in the keyholes. Use the included depth gauge to determine the distance the screw head should be sticking out.
9. Attach rail to the wall
10. Slide planters on to attachments

Supports Supports are needed for the flat overhang on the back of the planters

Scaling This cannot be scaled because the keyhole slots are specifically designed for #8 - #10 x 1" screws and anchors.
