Making this cutting board wall is so easy! The first thing I did was measure how high up I wanted the first rail – I took a few pictures of me holding it at different heights so I could gauge what I liked the most. From there, I used a pencil and marked the holes of where the screws needed to be. Note: I put up the top rail first, and hung up some cutting boards so I could decide how much lower I wanted the second rail to be.
I grabbed my Ryobi power drill and drilled the pilot holes, I decided to use drywall anchors too because I wanted the extra strength with the cutting boards. I hammered in the drywall anchors (pilot holes need to be just slightly larger than the drywall anchor), then screwed in the IKEA rail. BAM – already more than halfway done!! 🙂 I hung up the cutting boards using twine and it’s worked amazing! I would recommend a thicker twine that won’t snap overtime. I hung some cutting boards before lining up the second (bottom) rail – to ensure it was the correct height with the hanging boards. Then just repeat the process of install!
Voila, you have a cutting board wall! I decided to decorate mine with a wreath and a hanging net bag 🙂
