Supplies
Make sure that you have the right tools like a drill and a ladder at hand. If your pot rack did not come with any installation pieces then be sure to have strong hooks, some support chain and wire that you can use to hang your pot rack from the ceiling. -

Drill holes
Find the wooden beams behind your ceiling and drill holes that correspond to your pot rack size and shape. Make sure to use the marking chalk to ensure that the holes you are drilling are accurate. Also, drill some holes that you will use to attach the support chain on. Remember to be careful as you stand on the ladder while you drill the holes. -

Cut the support wire to the height that you want your pot rack to hang from. Also, make sure that the support chain matches that same height. -
