QuickShelf Installation

For ceiling hung units:

Locate ceiling joist / floor truss centers for lag eye screw positions. These will be at hanger width by distance spanned between vertical rows of hangers. For normal duty residential shelving applications using 3/4" thick lumber, the maximum recommended span is 3 feet. For light loading, a span of 4 feet is permissible. Click Here for an explanation of shelf board sizing.

Drill 3/16" Pilot Holes on centers and screw in 5/16" lag eye screws using a screwdriver as shown.

A quicker and easier method for installing lag eye screws is shown above.  Slip the eye portion into a 1-1/8” 6 point hex socket and use a ratchet as shown or an appropriate power tool.  This method is especially beneficial near wall edges and tight corners.

Hook shelf hangers through lag eye screws and place shelf board across hangers. Continue hanging shelf hangers and laying boards until reaching the desired number of shelves.

For wall hung units:

Locate wall stud centers for lag screw attachment points. Dr. 3/16" pilot hole and attach wall mount shelf hangers using 5/16" lag screw and washer as shown. As illustrated above, continue hanging shelf hangers and laying shelf boards until reaching the desired number of shelves.

Optional:
Hanger clips may be used to fasten the shelf hanger to the bottom of the shelf board.  They should be used when the board overhangs the shelf hanger by less than a few inches. One clip near center, as shown, will suffice. Two should be used  (at front & back) when hanger widths exceed 12". They may also be used to fasten the shelf hanger to the wall  for wall mount units as shown in the photo. One pair per every two to three shelves should suffice.
