Hanging basin on stud wall.
Follow these steps to provide the necessary wall support.
Cut these two boards lengthwise to a 2 3 4 inch width.
In each board cut a notch that s 1 1 2 inches deep and 9 1 4 inches high.

The basin will be too heavy for the board to support it.
Using the basin as a guide hold up the semi pedestal and make sure the trap fits inside without fouling on it measure how far out the basin waste pipe needs to emerge in order to fit into the trap correctly and note down this.

We bought a wall hung vanity because we liked the look the extra visible floor space makes the bathroom appear a little bigger and because you can easily customize the height and store stuff in baskets hidden underneath.
Wall hung sinks can be customized to the user s height.
Can anyone point me in the right direction.
