2. End or intermediate side frame assemblies are made by connecting the required posts
ith side braces. Place the proper front and rear post on the floor (or table) parallel to
each other and spaced apart to match the depth of the unit you are building. Place
braces on the inside of the post approximately at midpoint of the height of the unit.
Select the proper brace, bolt together at the center using a 1/4”-20 x 1/2” truss head bolt
and hex nut to form an “X”. Bolt the brace to the side of the rear flanges of posts ith
four 1/4"-20 x 1/2" truss head bolts and hex nuts.
3. Stand t o assemblies upright. Move them into position and set a shelf into the top and
into the bottom sets of pre-clipped shelf clips. Press each shelf do n ard so that it is
seated on each of the four clips. Repeat this procedure ith the intermediate shelves.
4. Select the proper back brace, bolt together at the center using a 1/4”-20 x 1/2” truss
head bolt and hex nut to form an “X”. Attach the back s ay braces to the rear flanges of
offset angle post ith four 1/4"-20 x 1/2" bolts and nuts. Place the bottom holes of the
brace 3” to 6” of the floor. For an adjacent unit it is recommended that bracing be
staggered up and do n (see illustration above).

inside flange of the angle post and the shelf, then slide the back bet een the
post flange and shelf on the other side. Line up the holes in the back panel
ith holes in the post and bolt the back panel to the angle post using 1/4”-20 x
1/2" bolts and nuts using approximately the same spacing as used in bolting
