    Having items displayed on the wall makes for easy grab-and-go functionality.
    Materials:

    Drill w/ screw driver bit
    Hack saw
    Rails
    Mounting hardware
    Shelving
    Hooks
    Racks
    Grids

    Wall Storage System

    1. Measure up from the floor 98" to establish rail height.

    2. Measure wall and subtract 1" to establish rail length.

    3. You may combine smaller size rails, or you may trim a long rail (use a hacksaw) to fit your measurement.

    4. The rail is installed using screws and anchors every 8".

    5. Superior anchor system means there is no need to measure or align with stud locations.

    6. Match rail-mounting holes with number of screws and anchors. 24" rail = 3 holes, 40" rail = 5 holes, 64" rail = 8 holes, 80" rail = 10 holes.

    7. Slotted channels provide the key to adjustability options.

    8. 8" or 90" uprights support any type of hanging or shelving needs.

    9. Insert uprights onto the rail at appropriate spacing intervals to accommodate shelving.

    10. Insert brackets into uprights at appropriate shelf heights. All shelving comes in a variety of pre-cut lengths to simplify closet planning.

    11. Heavy duty ventilated shelving comes in 12" or 16" depths.

    12. Lay shelf onto brackets with center shelf rod positioned atop center bracket notch.

    13. Push down on center shelf rod. Then, lift the front edge and slide the shelf back.

    14. Shelves may be cut to fit exact measurements using a hacksaw; apply end caps to edges.
