CLOSED UNIT ASSEMBLY
1. The first and last uprights in a row of shelving are End Uprights. The remaining uprights in a row are
Intermediate Uprights (see assembly graphic above). End and Intermediate Uprights are available in
welded assemblies or may be built. To build, lay the front and rear post parallel to each other on the floor or saw
horses. Position Angle Posts with the 1” flange pointing up. The front post may be Beaded or Angle. The back
post is always Angle.
Install Shelf Clips on both posts at the desired shelf locations by inserting the fingers of the clip into the
rectangular holes in the post and sliding down until the clip is fully seated. Install the clips for the bottom shelf in
the bottom two rectangular holes; install the clips for the top shelf in the top two rectangular holes.
The Upright Side Sheet is attached to the side of the Angle or Beaded post as shown using ¼- 20 x 5/8” Truss
Head screws and nuts. Upright Sheets are supplied with two screws and nuts for every foot of height. Note: Bolts
cannot be placed where shelves are located.
2. Intermediate Uprights are built like End Uprights, except Double Angle Posts replace Single Angle Posts (see
graphic above). Double Angle Posts are made by bolting two Single Angle Posts together with two ¼-20 x 5/8”
screws and nuts. Install shelf clips on both sides of the post assembly. The Upright Side Sheet is bolted to the
side of the Double Angle Posts with ¼-20 x 5/8” Truss Head screws and nuts.
If a Beaded Post is used, attach the Upright Side Sheet to the side of the Beaded Post with ¼-20 x 5/8” Truss Head screws and nuts.
3. Stand two End Uprights or an End and Intermediate Upright to build the first unit. Hold the uprights in position and install the top and bottom Shelves on to
the shelf clips. Make sure shelves are completely seated on the clips by tapping them down with a soft hammer. Repeat this process with the rest of the
shelves in the first unit.
4. While holding the unit vertical, install a Back Sheet using ¼-20 x 5/8” screws and nuts. Attach the Back Sheet to the inside of the rear angle posts as
shown. Slide one edge of the sheet between the shelf and post; then slide the other edge bowing the Back Sheet as needed. Line up the holes in the post
with holes in the back and bolt in place using ¼-20 x 5/8” Truss Head screws and nuts. Note: Bolts cannot be placed where shelves are located. Bolt
backs according to number of bolts and spacing shown below.
Total Number of Bolts and Nuts
5. If building a row of shelving, continue to add units by standing additional uprights and installing shelves and backs. The last upright in a row is an end
upright.
6. Back to back (double) rows are built like single rows, except common backs are used. The common Back Sheet is installed on the inside of one of the
units, with the bolts going through both rear posts of the back to back units. This will securely tie the back to back units together.
