installation is recommended whenever possible for the strongest
installation.
3. Determine length and spacing of standards

of shelves you want and the spacing between the shelves. The closer the
standards are placed together, the stronger the installation. Standards
should be spaced no more than 24 in. apart, and no more than 4 in.

4. Securing standards
Each standard must be secured to the wall with one screw at the closest
hole to the center of the standards. When using toggle bolts, remove
toggle, put bolt through standard and re-attach toggle to bolt before
placing standard on track.
5. Attaching brackets
Attach brackets at desired shelf height.
Note: Always match bracket size to shelving depth except when using
Shelf & Rod shelving. Always use 12 in. brackets for this type of shelving. When
installing 16 in. SuperSlide with Closet Rod & Support always use 12 in. brackets.

6. Cutting shelving, closet rods, and hang tracks
Wire shelving can be cut using a bolt cutter or hacksaw.
Closet rods can be cut using a pipe cutter (recommended) or a
hacksaw. Hang tracks can be cut with a hacksaw.
7. Corners
When two shelves come together in a corner, use a corner shelf support
to connect them. Use a corner closet rod to allow clothes to slide
uninterrupted around corners.
Note: SuperSlide Closet rod supports should be placed where closet rods join

8. End caps
Add caps to every exposed wire on both ends of each
shelf and to the ends of closet rods. End caps protect
