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.
This video is meant to serve as an instructional guide on how to assemble wire shelving and racks from The Shelving Store. Our products are packaged using corner guards as an added safeguard against damage during shipping. With a storage capacity of up to 800 lbs per tier, these heavy duty racks really make it easy to get organized in any room.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.
