A screwdriver is one of the tools you'll need for this job.
Wire shelving offers several advantages when used in closets or pantries. The shelving is light and strong relative to its weight, and the thin profile of the shelves maximizes storage space. The open design of the shelves minimizes dust and dirt buildup as well. Proper installation of a floor-to-ceiling shelving system is important for both safety and durability. Proper planning and careful measurements are important components of the job.
Instructions
1. Lay your front supports on the floor. You'll notice that one side of these square metal supports has a series of holes pre-drilled for shelf support hooks. Decide on the number and spacing of the shelves in your shelving system based on these. Screw in shelf support hooks at each of the locations in the shelf supports.
2. Measure the height, from floor to ceiling, of the area where the shelves will be mounted. Cut the front supports to size with a hacksaw if necessary.
3. Place one of the front supports against the wall where the shelves will be installed. Make a pencil mark on the wall at the location of each of the shelf support hooks. Place a level on the marks and draw a horizontal line across the wall at the level of each mark.
4. Drill 1/4-inch holes every 6 inches on each of the lines you've drawn. Insert a hollow wall anchor into each of the holes. Slide a screw through the hole in the hooks. Place the hook's screw in the anchor and tighten with a screwdriver. Repeat until you have hooks in all the holes on the wall.
5. Clip the back rail of your shelves into the hooks, starting from the lowest shelf. Let the shelves hang freely. Place your front supports in position in front of the shelves. Pull up the front of each shelf, starting at the top, and insert the front rail of the shelf into the hooks on the supports until all the shelves are suspended.
