But, we hung the microwave at the height required at code (I think it's something like 18" from the bottom of the microwave to the surface of the range...a quick Google search would give you the right number if I'm off) and so the shelf opening was determined by that. Does that makes sense? We did have enough room and were determined to bolt the microwave from the top too along with the back plate. :)Sheenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18242163910223367532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694300609096906230.post-35594571172900088522017-11-14T19:48:52.215-06:002017-11-14T19:48:52.215-06:00Thank you for sharing this experience.

What measurement is the open space and how did you come to that size? Did you have enough room to secure the appliance to the microwave with bolts from the top of the shelf into the top of the microwave or did you use the back plate only? I know this is an older post so I’m appreciative of any insight you can bring, thanks!rcisokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08127551686942613005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694300609096906230.post-41788686620238123792017-10-05T11:17:41.200-05:002017-10-05T11:17:41.200-05:00It has a built-in vent that pulls from the bottom ...It has a built-in vent that pulls from the bottom and vents out the top front. I don't think a regular, non-venting microwave would be up to code if it were hung above a range. :)Sheenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18242163910223367532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694300609096906230.post-18304863771342426572017-10-05T05:48:04.730-05:002017-10-05T05:48:04.730-05:00Does your microwave have the exhaust or is it just...Does your microwave have the exhaust or is it just microwave?

We did that on both sides of the shelf. So you can see the screw heads inside the cabinet above our top shelf. Does that make sense?

I know this post is a bit old, but I was wondering if you could say more about how you secured the 2x4s to the neighboring cabinets securely without damaging the cabinets. I'm a bit of a novice diyer and I just want to make sure I'm doing things securely. Thanks!
