How to Assemble Wire Shelving Racks
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Before you get started, make sure you have all of your parts. Standard units come with 4 posts, 4 leveling feet, shelves, and 4 plastic clips per shelf. Got all of that? Perfect, let's get to it!
To assemble:
1. Screw the leveling feet into the bottom of your posts (If you're going to install wheels, switch them out at the end).
2. Snap clips onto the posts where you want your bottom shelf to be. Count the notches in the post to make sure the clips are level.
3. Turn your bottom shelf on its side. Insert the posts through the corners of the shelf from the bottom. The clips will be wedged into place, creating a solid base.
4. Flip the shelf upright and give it a quick tap in the corners to make sure it's snug.
5. Add clips where you want your next shelf, then lower it into place. (If you have a large shelf or tall posts, it's easier to construct with a friend).
6. Repeat step 5 until all of your shelves are where you want them.
7. If you want to add casters, lay your shelving kit on it's side and unscrew the leveling feet. Insert your wheels, then stand the unit back up.

Such a simple, straight-ahead explanation. Just what I needed. Thanks!
Note that even when properly positioned, the two halves of the shelf-pole collar('sleeve') do have a 1/8" gap, but the ends are snug against the pole (no crescent space). If there is a crescent gap, slide it up or down until it snaps snugly in place. This is done so that even after years of heavy loads, when the plastic sleeves have been squished a bit, the inside ridge will still grip the ring notch.
I rarely comment on these but I felt I had to on this one. First I must thank you for two things, for showing me how to put together a shelf that I thought was going to be a no-brainer and for making me look like an idiot in front of my wife, she loves that. I purchased a shelf that is a different brand but has the same concept. I did not get around to unboxing it for six weeks which meant, no returns. The directions in the box were terrible. I assumed you simply put the clips on and the shelf sat on the clips, all done. The shelves kept sliding down the poles along with the clips and I kept getting madder and madder. Finally, I took the whole thing and started putting it in the dumpster but then I decided to try KZread and found this video. Wow, the holes in the corner of the shelves go over the top of the clips which compresses them and holds them in place. I felt stupid but I dragged everything back out and 20 minutes later I had a 72" 5-shelf unit and a big smile. Thanks for the assist.
I want to thank you for this video. I was about to quit putting up my shelf today. This video helped me slow down and try again and now my shelf is up and ready for use. Thank you and God Bless you!!!
Thank you. Amazing how even a decade in the future this is still such a help to people.
Thanks so much for this, dude. This made putting my shelves together way easier. Also I sobered up while watching, so that may have made a difference....

This was very helpful in helping me and my mom assemble our wire rack. We had the shelves facing the wrong the direction. Thanks so much for the video!
He forgot to show all the times that the plastic clips were easily dislodged forcing him to start all over again.

No the design is great. I have put together this type a lot of times and it's not that common to slip. Brand can make a difference, careful of weight limits too. When i had problems it was because I didnt catch the grooves well. Today had to hold one while pressing down on the shelf. If you use all your weight too fast, it can slip ( if you are heavy ). Can try using the spare set they give you if you think the ridge on the plastic piece may be messed up.

I was about to return the shelf unit but I'm so grateful for this video.
my mom almost made my grandfather put together her shelf since I was procrastinating. The day I say yes I can’t click any of the things in the place because I didn’t know it’s a slide and click maneuver thank you for this video still relevant almost a decade later got a love it on the first search too
Thanks so much! Could not figure out how to assemble until I’ve watched this video
Thank you,Thank you,Thank you,this came very handy for me to setup the shelves
Very helpful! Had no clue what I was doing at first, searched on KZread and found your video. Assembled my shelves in less than 10 minutes. :)
I love you sir...was feeling so negative about all this...looking at the pieces...confused...not my thing... went for walk...stuffed about..bought other stuff I don't really need....looked at the childrens book on what do you do when you have a problem...came to library and found you...thank you so much...all makes sense...can do sir can do...many many thanks...and the speaker function isn't working on this public computer but you have made it look very easy...very logical...looking forward to putting it together...been in this place for a year finishing off degree and no time for clutter...YIPPPPEE
Thanks for sharing this! Much appreciated.
Thank you for making this video it really helps me because when I got mine from Sam's it only came with Italian instructions so your video help me assemble my shelving unit
This video was a lifesaver. I was feeling really dumb today and not in the mood to tackle this task... Till I realized how easy it was! 😂
Thanks for the insight now I can save time because I hate reading instructions and didn't know the black plastic had top written on it.
thank you so much! Very clear informative directions :-)
Thank you for this helpful video 👍🏻
Oh, you saved my sanity!! I should have checked first to see if there was an easy way to assemble the unit! Thank you so much for making it so easy, that is, after I spent like 1 1/2 hours throwing a temper tantrum. Heheh...
Awesome video! We were able to let our intern watch it and assemble 10 of these shelves in an hour.
Should have also show how to re-adjust the shelf if you need to later on

Rubber mallet from the bottom corners of each shelf, push up, take plastic pieces off, re position where you meed them. If you have other shelves in the way goodluxk its a huge PITA.
Geeeesh!! All these comments got me having second thoughts about my uline purchase 🥴

Thank you!!! I've been sitting here for hours trying to force the sleeve through but the hole was too small only to watch this and find out i was inserting it through the wrong side of the hole 😭😭😭
What a great video thank you!
All I can say is THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Great tutorial, thanks
Thank u so much, i was going crazy for no reason.
very valuable. thank you.
Great help thank you sooooo much! ❤
Thank you so much very helpful
I don't have the double spacing, single only and having a tough time snapping the space sleeve together.
Plot twist he's a character in the movie sudden death this man almost fell when he put the second rack 😋 thanks for the video
I wanted to know whether I could keep building upward as I have high ceilings and want to occupy all vertical space available, and I think I have the answer which is... I can. I think. The best shelving options so I'm gonna just go for it.
Can you do a quick video of installing the hook bars that go on the sides?
Thank you so much your amazing!
When I first opened this hypertough box & seen all these brackets with these TRASH introductions I was so lost. I watch half of this short video & see I didn't even have to finish it, SO easy!! They need to get it together with the instructions lol
Thaank you so match 👍🏻
Thank you!
You are the best!
Wire shelving is a versatile storage solution that can be used in any room.
Excellent

excellent video!! loved it!!!! >:D
Very nice
Thank you so much.
Everything about his voice is pleasant asf .. I’m sitting here like hmm .. I wonder if he explains how to build other stuff .. while having nothing else that needs building lol

Aleluia! I had a real hard time with those (des)instructions that came with the kit
I want those shelves
I assembled these in the past with no problems, but recently I got a different brand of wire shelf, the plastic shelf clips don't stay tight on the posts, does this mean the plastic clips are bad or the posts...???
Any tips on disassembly? I've received one that has the shelf clips set to less-than-ideal heights, and want to change where they're set. No amount of tugging, pushing, or pulling in any which direction seems to be helping loosen things up!

Greg Spevak They're just a friction fit, as more force is applied downward, the tighter it gets. Just tap upward with a rubber mallet going from side to side until it breaks free.

It's much easier if you turn the whole unit upside-down. Use a rubber mallet to tap the bottom shelf (which is now on top) downward at each corner until it is dislodged from the clip. Let the shelf slide downward, remove its clips. Then lift the shelf up over the poles. Repeat for the remaining shelves. When you get to the last one, give each pole a twist, and it will come free.
I've also had problems with the shelf clips. They do not stay put. I thought they might have expanded because of the heatwave and have put them in the freezer! But they are not satisfactory. I'm going to have to use some sort of glue. It's frustrating.
can they work halved in two short shelfs?
Where can I purchase additional shelves for these Units? Thanks, Larry.
Wait.. Is that Ed Sheehan? Has his music career went belly up? Kidding.
I got a six shelf one how do I space them evenly
Thanks just got one from Home Depot..
Lifesaver
There were no instructions to explain that it seems like the clips don't lock, (one side clips the other doesn't) but when you slide them down to where you want them, they do lock in place.
How do you set up wire shelving at a right angle? I have seen pictures of wire shelves set up in in a corner, with one of the post of one shelving unit missing. Any insights?
I wonder if this system could be used to assemble a 7 story tall paint scalping? I mean he did say as many shelves as I needed right?
Awesome

This is a good video and all, but I'm curious if anyone knows how to REMOVE one of the shelves on it
What do I do if the clips won't fit together? I've tried everything and there is always a gap opening. I put on the bottom shelf hoping it would squeeze them together, but there is a still a gap!
Can we make two smaller shelves out of this?
Is it normal for the clips not to fit tightly closed?

+Sylvie Roy Yes, although the clips are secure they do have a bit of space between them.
I had face the problem when slot in the shelves .. which side to face up and which side to face down?? After some time it's slanting down give a way from post clips 😢. I seriously in disaster m.mmm
I fucking love you
When I try to clip the bracket together one side fits to the other side off the legs; but when I try to clamp the two plastic pieces together they DON"T snap together. How do I fix this?

I was getting just as fed up but, at least with my shelving, I discovered that the secret is to press the clips together underneath a ring groove on the legs, slide up and it clicks into place! He might have mentioned that on the video but it is far from clear. The other thing that helped me was to use pipe grips to incrementally squeeze the clip and the shelf together finishing with a really big squeeze.
How do those clips pop loose so that I can disassemble the shelf because I need to move them to my new home?
Damn clips dont stay clipped
Ashton Catcher??
I have a 5 tier i bought and am about to trash because i can't get the plastic sleeves to work properly

My metal fram will not slide over plastic clips and yes they are marked top so i know its right
Just to point out, the clips work fine if you buy the poles and shelves from the same supplier. A tip: if you think your clips don't work properly you may well have them the wrong way up!
I want to flip the shelves upside down...anyone have an idea how to do it. can it be done??
One corner of my shelf is stuck .how do I get it off ?i got the other three off its stuck.i am taking it apart please help the rod is stuck.
