Layout issue: I want to start header and cart several inches down the page

Hi Everyone....I am trying to use a pic as my backgroud and logo. I added it to my stylesheet. However, my heading and cart covers it up. How do I position my header and cart several inches down the page so that my background pic can show....I hope this makes sense

Could we see a link please?

If you added it as a background to the body declaration in your stylesheet, you can add an appropriate margin-top to #mainWrapper. If you added it to #mainWrapper, you can add padding-top to #mainWrapper.
Otherwise, we need to see it live to answer correctly.
