ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Fig. 1 Fig. 1a
1. Remove 2 of the uprights from the box.
2. Cut away any protective material that may be applied.
3. Pull the 2 uprights(A) apart, placing them parallel to one another about 2ft. (61 cm) apart 2 uprights (A). Pay
close attention that the hole pattern on both upright beams are all facing the same direction.
4. At the top of the upright (A) insert the short horizontal beam into the “U” shaped bracket and align the holes.
After doing so place screw (L) into the hole and apply nut to the opposing side, (do not tighten until the
assembly is complete).
5. At the top of the upright (A) insert the opposing end of the short horizontal beam that was placed into the (J)
upright and the long diagonal beam (I) into the “U” shaped bracket and align the holes. After doing so place
screw (L) into the hole and apply nut to the opposing side, (do not tighten until the assembly is complete).
6. Repeat the steps 4 and 5 for the bottom portion of the upright assembly as shown in Figure 1a.
7. After parts (A), (J), and (I) are fully attached and secured into place, tilt against a wall at a slight angle.
8. Take the supplied hex key tool and tighten the bolts on all 4 corners ensuring that the diagonal and horizontal
beam and uprights are at 90 degrees/square.
9. Be sure not to over-tighten the bolts. There should be no deformation of the U-shaped bracket and/or
horizontal beams.
10. When assembly is complete place and tap into place the caps and feet (D) using a rubber mallet.

NOTE - Check all of the components provided for defects. If any defects are found, do not
proceed with assembly. Use of defective components or improper assembly may result in
damage or injury. Before placing a load on the shelves, make sure all of the tabs are locked
into place securely.

1. After assembling the uprights
2. Remove all of the components from the box and lay them out in an orderly fashion on the floor where
you intend to assemble.
3. Take one of the cross beams (Part B, Fig.2) and bring it over to one of the upright frames (Part A, Fig.
2). The upright frame should be stood up (it is best to work with an assistant who can hold the upright
frame in place). Then attach the cross beam (B) to the upright frame (A) by inserting the tabs into the
two key holes (Part B, Fig.2). This first cross beam should be inserted into the lowest two key holes.
Tap down on the cross beam with the rubber mallet to seat the cross beam.
4. The properly positioned cross beam should slip into place with by moderately tapping with rubber
mallet. If it doesn't, recheck the alignment as too much applied force may damage the interlock
between the upright and beam.
5. Bring the other upright frame (Part A, Fig. 3) over to the opposite end of the first cross beam you
assembled. Make sure you assemble this end into key holes at the same level as the other side. Use
the same process that was used to lock in the first set of tabs to the key holes.
6. Now move over to the other side, opposite the first cross beam you assembled. Repeat steps 3, 4 and
5 to lock this cross beam in place. Make sure this cross beam is at the same level as the first one.
NOTE - Make sure the cross beam is positioned properly. The flange that the wood
deck fits into needs to be facing upwards.

8. The assembly is completed by attaching the last set of cross beams (Part B, Fig. 5) to the top two
key holes on the upright frames (Part A, Fig. 5). This is done in the same manner as all of the other
cross beams.
NOTE - The cross beams are adjustable and can be set at your desired height.
7. To continue assembly, repeat steps 2 through 6 on the second and third sets of cross beams (Part B,
Fig. 4). Make sure each set of cross beams is at the same level (as on the opposite side).

11. Place the first wood deck (Part C, Fig. 7) into the lower flange of both cross beams (Part B, Fig. 7).
Make sure that the wood deck is seated properly on the flanges of the cross beams. Repeat this
step for the remaining wood decks.

10. The shelf strap (Part E, Fig. 6) is to be attached to the pre-drilled holes provided on the bottom of
each side of the cross beams. Use the included hardware (Part L, Fig. 6) to fasten the shelf strap to
the cross beams (Part B). The screw should be fed up through the bottom of the shelf strap and
secured in place with the provided nut.

To install the mounting plate assembly see Figure 9.
1. Remove the bracket assembly (F) from the box and place to the side until the rack assembly
is complete.
2. Take the top “U” portion of the wall mount bracket shown in diagram and apply it the bottom
portion of the top most shelf on your rack assembly that will be placed against a wall.
3. Align the hole in the wall mount bracket (F) with the load strap hole located on the bottom center
of the shelf beam.
4. Use the nut and screw (K,L) that’s used to hold the load strap in place, connect the wall mount
bracket to the shelf beam.
5. The wall mount bracket assembly has 2 nut and screw assemblies located in the adjustable slots
that will allow the user to adjust the wall mount “L” portion of the bracket against the wall.
6. After the “L” portion of the wall mount bracket is adjusted to have contact to the mounting wall
it’s best to screw the “L” bracket into a 2X4 located within the wall rather than wallboard only. If
there’s no option to screw into a 2X4 than wall anchors should be used when mounting into the
wall board. (wall mounting screws and anchors NOT included).
When stacking one or more racks on top of each other it’s recommended that a mounting bracket
should be used for EACH rack being built.
WALL MOUNTING BRACKET (N):
NOTE: It is recommended that any rack be secured to a wall especially in earthquake
prone environments

Assembling racks upward:
1. When stacking racks on top of each other the assembly process is the same, however when assembling
a next tier of uprights the use of the stacking bracket, (M) is needed.
2. Assemble the upright as shown in steps 1 thru 10 on page 3.
3. Take one of the assembled uprights and place it on top of an already fully assembled bottom rack. The
use of the plastic cap, (D) should not be used between the upright beams and needs to be removed.
4. Take the stacking bracket and apply to the upright beam making sure to engage the tabs into the top and
bottom upright beams.
5. Apply stacking brackets, (M) to ALL 4 uprights before assembling any shelf beam on the top rack.
6. After the brackets are in position, insert the locking pin, (G) into the holes provided.
7. Assemble the remaining shelves in the desired position.
8. Again the use of a wall mounting bracket (F) is needed for both racks after assembly is complete.
