Enhance Your Decor with a Stylish Mantel and Electric FireplaceThese instructions will give you detailed steps to build out your new fireplace pop out wall with ship-lap finish. The main pop out design is 6’ wide and 12” deep. The base extension comes out an extra foot in each direction, making it 8’ wide and 24” deep.If you don't want to purchase a mantel and would like to build it yourself, you will save a lot of money and these instructions will show you how!The fireplace for this design is 60” wide and 18” high. The TV is a 65” flat panel and the Mantel is 67-1/2” wide with the top of it sitting at 46” high. There should be enough room beneath the TV and the top of the mantel to put a Sound Bar either on top of the mantel or hanging from the TV Mount under the TV. I like to have everything I need before I start so if you need to adjust any measurements, it can be done early and save a lot of stress later.All dimensions are ultimately up to you and since there is always variability (like ceiling height), this is accounted for in the manual so that you can make modifications before you ever start.Some example pages from the 29 page instruction manual are shown in the images with a picture of a final product.The manual includes step-by-step instructions, a list of tools needed, a shopping list, and cut diagrams. Support is also available from the author via email and there are in progress pictures available for reference. Read more
