OPEN UNIT ASSEMBLY
1. The first and last uprights in a row of shelving are End Uprights. The remaining uprights in a row are
Intermediate Uprights (see assembly graphic above). To build the End Upright, lay the front and rear
post parallel to each other on the floor or saw horses. Position Angle Posts with the 1” flange pointing
up. The front post may be Beaded or Angle. The back post is always Angle.
Install Shelf Clips on both posts at the desired shelf locations by inserting the fingers of the clip into
the rectangular holes in the post and sliding down until the clip is fully seated. Install the clips for the
bottom shelf in the bottom two rectangular holes; install the clips for the top shelf in the top two
rectangular holes.
Clip to Post Connection
Using a shelf to determine proper spacing of posts, attach a pair of Side Sway Braces to the posts
forming an “X” with ¼-20 x 5/8” screws and nuts. See page 3 for information regarding sway brace locations. Note: Bolts cannot be placed where
shelves are located.
2. Intermediate Uprights are built like End Uprights, except Double Angle Posts replace Single Angle Posts (see graphic above). Double Angle Posts
are made by bolting two Single Angle Posts together with two ¼-20 x 5/8” screws and nuts, one near the top of post and one near the bottom.
Install Shelf Clips on both sides of the post assembly. Attach a pair of Sway Braces to the front and rear posts as in Step 1.
3. Stand two End Uprights or an End and Intermediate Upright to build the first unit. Hold the uprights in position and install the top and bottom shelves
on to the shelf clips. Make sure shelves are completely seated on the clips by tapping them down with a soft hammer. Repeat this process with the
rest of the shelves in the first unit.
4. While holding the unit vertical, install a pair of Back Sway Braces in an “X” pattern using ¼-20 x 5/8” screws and nuts. Attach the Back Sway Braces
on the inside of the rear Angle Posts as shown.
5. If building a row of shelving, continue to add units by standing additional upright assemblies and installing shelves and back braces. The last upright
in the row of shelving must be an End Upright.
6. Back-to-back (double) rows are built like single rows, except common Back Sway Braces are used. The common braces are installed on the inside of
one of the units, with the bolts going through both rear posts of the back-to-back units. This will securely tie the back-to-back units together.
