BASIC SHELVING UNIT INSTALLATION
BEFORE INSTALLING IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This system was designed for linens, clothes, and pantry items.
Placing excessively heavy items in your closet may lead to
structural failure.
Knots, checking, and light cracking are typical characteristics of
cedar and do not warrant a legitimate cause for return or refund.
If scent wears off, lightly sand with a fine grain sand paper to
revitalize scent.
1. Determine the height and location of the bottom shelf.
Drill pilot holes through the peg holes in the lower supports.
2. Attach the bottom shelf to the lower supports with the 2"
screws. Make sure that the grooved side of the pole is facing
away from the shelf.
Note: If you plan to add an adjacent shelf, place an L-bracket
on the screw before attaching the she supports.
3. Attach the middle shelf to the upper and lower supports.
Keep the screw loose so that the remaining shelves can be
screwed in squarely.
4. Attach the top shelf to the top of the upper supports.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 to attach the remaining supports.
Fully tighten the screws for the top and bottom shelves.
6. Locate the wall studs and mount the top, middle and bottom
shelves into at least one stud. If there are no studs in the
appropriate positions, use drywall anchors to mount the
organizer according to manufacturer’s recommendations.
7. To install an additional shelf, rest one end on the support and
tap the other into place. The pegs should rest in
the notches

2Cedar Closet Organizer Installation Instructions
1. If you planned ahead for installing fixed adjacent
shelves when you assembling the basic shelving
unit, an L-bracket should already be secured to
the support in the appropriate location. In this
case, go to step 3.
2. If no L-brackets were previously installed,
attach to the supports in the appropriate shelf
installation locations.
Use a 1/16" drill bit to drill through the peg holes
into the support.
3. Attach the shelf to the L-brackets with a 1/2"
screw.
4. Refer to the Angle Brace Installation instruc-
tions to secure the shelf.
FIXED SHELF INSTALLATION
1. Insert a peg into the support at the desired
shelf location.
2. Secure an L-bracket in place on top of the peg.
3. Repeat the previous steps to install 3 more
L-brackets at the shelf corners.
ADJUSTABLE SHELF
INSTALLATION
1. Decide where to place the support hooks.
Support hooks should be placed in the center of
the shelf, next to the adjacent angle braces no
further than 2' apart.
2. Screw the support hooks into place, adding a
sideways screw for hooks located beside the
angle brace.
3. Place the rod on the support hooks. Screw the
rod in place through the bottom of each hook and
through the side panel adjacent to the rod end.
4. If the hanging rod runs to the end of the wall,
secure an additional support hook to the wall at
the end of the rod.
HANGING ROD ATTACHMENT
1. Determine and mark the location of the angle
brace. The brace should be under the shelf's slat,
not an open space.
2. Mark the location on the shelf and drill a pilot hole.
3. Secure the shelf to the angle brace (loosely).
4. Adjust the bottom of the angle brace until square
and attach to the wall.
5. Fully tighten the screw to secure the shelf to the
angle brace
ANGLE BRACE INSTALLATION
1. Cut the shelf to the desired length.
2. Rest one end on the L-bracket on the side panel
where the shelf will be installed.
3. Level the shelf and mark the bottom of the notch
and shelf center on the wall.
4. Attach L-brackets to the wall in the marked locations
