INSTALLATION AND USE CONSIDERATIONS
1) Do not locate wall storage rack in or adjacent to heavy traffic areas. The stored
volleyball uprights and/or the rack may pose a hazard to those in the vicinity.
2) The straps provided with this unit when properly used, will safely hold an upright
which weighs 85 pounds or less. Do not exceed this working limit.
Installation Instructions:
1) Installation requirements vary with the type of wall onto which the rack is being
installed. Additional hardware may be required depending on the type of wall.
General recommendations are listed below. The rack can be installed horizontally,
vertically or even diagonally. Vertical installation works best for holding hoops,
while horizontal or diagonal works better for jump ropes.
Installation onto Concrete or Brick:
2) With the rack in the desired position, mark the center of the two holes at the end
of the rack on the wall. Using a masonry bit the same size as the expansion
sleeves drill holes the same depth as the expansion sleeves. Insert the expansion
sleeves into the holes. Align the rack over the expansions sleeves and install the
hex cap screws.
Installation onto Wood Wall or Solid Wall:
Note: Not concrete or Wallboard / Gypsum or Drywall.
3) With the rack in the desired position, mark the center of the two holes at the end
of the rack on the wall. Drill two wall pilot holes (about 1/8” in diameter). Align
the rack over the expansions sleeves and install the hex cap screws.
Installation onto Drywall:
Note: Also called Gypsum or Wallboard (drywall anchors not included).
4) Drywall alone will not be strong enough to screws the cap screws directly into
and the expansions sleeves are not suitable for use in drywall. There are couples
of recommended options. The first is to use drywall anchors screws and washers.
These types of anchors are readily available in your local home center or
hardware store. Use the metal inserts and the large size available to provide the
maximum weight support. Washers will also likely be required to keep the head
of the screws from slipping through the hole in rack. The second options would be
to securely attach a large 1” thick piece of wood or plywood to your wall that is
larger than the rack and then install the rack to that piece of wood.
