Design Fundamentals
Hanging Rail
1) Mounting Heights
• Rails should be mounted at 84" and run wall-to-wall for
the greatest storage capacity, adjustability, and future
expansion possibilities.
• For "extra tall" (over 6' 2") wardrobes, you may mount
the rail at 86". Use of 78" Uprights is recommended in this
application.
• With 8-foot ceilings, Rails may be pushed to the ceiling
to simplify installation and maximize use of vertical space.
Use of long Uprights (78" or 90") is recommended in this
application.
2) Widths of Rails
• To achieve wall-to-wall installation, combine different
size Rails or cut Rails to fit.
• Subtract 1" from wall-to-wall measurement to allow for
wall variation.
Hanging Uprights
1) Size of Uprights
• 78" Uprights provide the greatest storage capacity, adjustability,
and future expansion possibilities. Other size Uprights are available
for specific use areas.
• 30" Uprights - allows for short stack of shelves or long hanging
garments.
• 48" Uprights - allows two rows of short hanging garments.
• 78" Uprights - ideal for total flexibility -- short hanging, long
hanging, shelves and O-Boxes. 78" Uprights also provide more
options for "extra tall" (over 6' 2") or "petite" wardrobes.
• 90" Uprights - used in high ceiling applications for maximum
flexibility.
2) Spacing of Uprights for Profile and Wood Shelving
• Shelves may overhang the uprights by up to 9" (a).
• 36" maximum spacing for standard closet or linen
applications - supports 50 lbs. per linear foot (b).
• 30" maximum spacing for standard pantry or garage
applications - supports 75 lbs. per linear foot.
• 24" spacing for extra heavy-duty applications, supports
100 lbs. per linear foot.
Tie Rack Note:
If you plan to use a freedomRail Tie Rack (mounted into Upright.
This could occur easily in the middle of a longer shelving run, or by
insetting the Upright 4" from the end of a Shelf.
