fully into placeAttach other end of beam B into second side frame A at the same level

Add a second beam B to the uprights A

at the same height and ensure beams are knocked in fully with a rubber mallet

Insert safety clips C into the holes at each end of the beams B to ensure the beams cannot be removed from the upright

Repeat steps 1 to 5 to add the remaining beams B at the required shelf heights

To extend the shelving, add beams B to the second frame A and repeat steps 1 to 5 to add extra beams

Evenly space optional shelf supports across each front and back beam.Refer to the images in steps 9 and 10 for correct positioning

On shelves between 1825mm wide and 1900mm wide chipboard clamps must be fitted to the centre of the chipboard, as below. Shelves less than 1825mm wide do not require chipboard clamps

On shelves greater than 1900mm wide chipboard will come in two pieces and chipboard clamps must be fitted 50mm from the edge of each chipboard as per the image below

To install the chipboard clamps E , using a hammer, tap the point of the clamp into the chipboard D to secure. Repeat across all required chipboard
