Your Rhino Shelf
These Universal Instructions work for both
Full-Size Rhino Shelves and for Rhino Mini
Shelves.
Each Universal Shelf Kit contains a Left-End Assembly and a Right-End Assembly. An 8-foot kit also
contains one Tee Assembly. A 12-foot kit contains two Tee Assemblies, a 16-foot kit, three Tee
Assemblies, etc. Four-foot kits do not require a Tee Assembly.
A Mid-Wall installation uses all of these assemblies. For a Left- or Right-Wall Start, modify the
appropriate End Assembly as shown below. For a Wall-to-Wall installation, modify both End
Assemblies:
Left Wall Start
Remove nut & bolt from Left End Assembly
to get Left Wall Start
Contents of Kit: In addition to the Assemblies shown above, each Universal Shelf Kit contains
sufficient fasteners for the length of shelves you ordered, a Spacer Guide, one Left and one Right
Wall Bracket, and a Tee Wall Bracket for each Tee Assembly in your kit.
