Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Plan Your Shelving Layout

Choose a starter or extend a compatible run

Starter shelving creates the framework for a new storage area. The represented options include five-, six-, and seven-shelf starters. For an existing compatible run, the four-shelf add-on expands storage with snap-in components that require no nuts, bolts, or clips for assembly.

  • Select a starter for a new shelving setup.
  • Select an add-on to expand a compatible shelving run.
  • Compare five-, six-, and seven-shelf starter configurations.
  • Consider the four-shelf add-on for expansion planning.
Select a Deck Configuration

Choose the shelf surface that suits stored materials

Decking choices represented in this category include wire, particleboard wood, and laminate. A no-deck starter provides a shelving framework for compatible deck components. Wire decking creates supported shelf surfaces and, on the add-on, promotes airflow, visibility, and light penetration around stored materials.

  • Wire decking supports stored items and can improve visibility around materials.
  • Particleboard decking creates shelf surfaces for stored items.
  • Laminate decking provides a smooth surface designed for easy maintenance.
  • No-deck shelving is intended for compatible deck components.
