damage to the beam.
3. Always ensure that the rivets sit at the bottom of the keyhole slots.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED
Rubber mallet or hammer
Protective cloth/wood block
The tabs of the beams will often enter
the slots fully using just firm hand
pressure but if they are too tight, you
may require a rubber mallet to assist.
If so, always use a cloth to protect
the product paint finish.
Tap gently with the mallet to drive the
tabs of the beams fully into the slots in
the corner post. Always strike the
edge close to the post.
1. Use the short beams (D) to
connect the front and rear posts
together.
NOTE: The short and long beams
should be installed with the
recessed edge uppermost to
retain the shelf.
• Repeat this again to create the
other end assembly, making sure
that the corresponding beams
are at the same height.

2. Ensure the tabs lie flat against the
surface of the post.
3. Join the two end assemblies
together with the long beams (C) .
4. Connect the support beams (E) to
the long beams (C). First bend the
tabs 90 degrees to pass them
through the slots in the long
beams.
• The tab initially lays flat against the
long beam (C).
5. Next, bend the tab back through
180 degrees to grip the long
beam.
• Use a screwdriver or similar tool to
bend the tabs.
6. Finally bend the tab again through
90 degrees the opposite way, to
seat tightly against the support
beam (E).
7. Ensure there is no movement
between the beams.

8. Fit post joining inserts (F) into the
posts (A), ensuring that the inserts
are fitted with their tabs to match
the slots of the posts.
9. Construct the upper end
assemblies onto the post inserts (F)
before adding more long beams
and support beams as previously
to complete the framework.
10. Lay the shelf panels (B) into
position.
• Always assemble the top shelf at
the highest possible position.
11. Fit the plastic end caps (G) into the
end of each post (A).
12. We recommend that the shelvng
be secured to an adjacent wall
using typical wall insert plugs and
screws (not supplied) aligned with
the assembly slots in the posts.
