F. Mantel, Adding Extra Support

If extra support for the mantel is needed across the front of the fireplace:

Obtain a piece of top/bottom track used in metal framing.

Cut the track to 57 7/8 in. (1470 mm) long.

Notch each end of the track 2 in. (51 mm). See Figure 12.12.

Place the track into the notches (shown in Figure 12.13) on the front standoffs and secure to the framing on both sides of the fireplace (Figure 12.14).

Use drywall screws to fasten the mantel to the metal framing.
