wire shelving is practical and affordable and it really is pretty easy
to install now it comes in kits but it also comes in lots of individual pieces
so you have a lot of options it's perfect for a pantry a closet a garage
really any place you need a little extra storage so here are the basics for
installing wire shelving in a closet using a track system start by measuring
the dimensions of the closet be as accurate as you can and make sure you
get the depth the width and the height then design a layout to fit your needs
be sure to include the length of each piece and the desired height for each
shelf using a stud finder locate the wall studs place the hang track in
position with as many screw holes as possible centered on studs drive a screw
into one of the center slots and level the track once level drive in the rest
of the screws again two studs whenever you can for the strongest possible
installation for drywall use anchors or toggle bolts to help secure the track
the standard is the vertical piece that the shelf brackets will attach to lock
the first shelf standard onto the track and screw to the wall at the closest
hole to the center of the standard standard should be placed no more than
24 inches apart and be no more than four inches from the end of the shelf
insert the shelf brackets into the standards now keep in mind that you will
have to cut all of your wire shelving to length and you can certainly do that
yourself using a hacksaw or just some bolt cutters or if you want to save
yourself the trouble you can have that done for you for free in the store by an
associate but it's important you have to bring in all your measurements when you
come to the store now lock the shelves onto the brackets by pressing down until
they snap into place install supports for clothing rods if you have them and
as a finishing touch add caps to any cut ends of shelving as well as to closet
rods to keep hangers in place and there you have it you've got a great new space
just waiting to be put to good use with all these accessories like
drawers baskets shoe organizers and more wire shelving offer solutions for all
your storage needs
