Do I have need of a nail cleat for my 6" crown molding?

I have pretty well brought-up studs but do I need to join cleat to keep it firm over time? What would I use for the cleat and what angle do you rip it?


Answers:    The problem is usually where on earth the molding needs to be nail to the ceiling. On some walls there are ceiling joint that you can nail into but on other walls the joist run parallel to the wall and there might not be a nail surface behind the drywall. That is where on earth a cleat might come in handy. On unsullied construction they add blocking trailing the ceiling drywall to accommodate the crown molding

As a side note: the angle for some crown molding is not 45 degs but closer to 40 degs. You inevitability to check this on the actual molding you are going to use.
It's best to install a nailing cleat. This will insure a apt install and the best results. Rip the cleat on a 45 degree angle as this is impossible to tell apart angle the crown moulding gets installed at. Good luck next to everything.
