into the keyholes at
the lowest shelf level required. Ensure
the beam is 90 degrees to the upright
Tap beam
C
with a
rubber mallet to ensure
the end studs are fully
located in the bottom of the
keyholes on both uprights.
Lean the uprights
A
against
a wall for support if needed
Repeat steps 1 and 2
until you have created a
“ladder style frame”

“ladder style frame”
Locate a centre support beam (D) onto
the metal studs on the centre of each
long beam
(B) . Tap into place and repeat
for all levels

one frame at the same height as
the short beams. Tap into place
with a rubber mallet
Repeat steps 5 and 6 to add the
remaining long beams. Ensure that
