Attached are 2 pictures showing the board hanging vertically (ignore the paintwork on the wall - it's a WIP ) and one showing a close up view of the mountings. Essentially the one on the right is slightly loose to allow it to twist at a 90 degree angle to allow the board to be mounted/dis-mounted with ease.

You don't get much in the packaging i.e. 2 x plastic L-Shape holders, a couple of screws and links to instructions so on the face of it it doesn't look much for the money, however, they hold the board very well. I had to switch the screws for different ones due to the stud walls in our house but all-in-all very pleased.
