Hello!
I am in the process of making/ installing a cabinet above my fridge - today when removing the cornice I found this bracing ply behind the gyprock. There is a electrical cable which I can see as it runs to the socket. I have also found the studs with a finder but one is very close to where the cable runs. The cabinet will be kinda heavy as its 900mm wide plus the load of cups when full so I'd like to attach it properly.
I was wondering what the best way to attach the cabinet would be?
Thanks.
Hello @sunflowerz
Can you please tell me how big the wall cabinet is. This will give our members a better idea of how heavy it is and if it will need extra support when being hung on your wall. Is there any chance of attaching the cabinet to the side walls over the fridge itself. If there is no choice but to attach the cabinet in that space, I can only suggest double checking the position of your studs and make sure to stay away from the stud with the electrical cable.
If you need further assistance, please let us know
