Choosing a Finish
Green Epoxy vs. Chrome Wire Shelving
Both finishes use the same open wire design with 1" shelf adjustment. The main difference is the environment each one is made for.
Choose Green Epoxy Wire Shelving When:
- The space is humid, wet, or sees temperature fluctuations
- You want antimicrobial protection against mold, mildew, and bacteria (Shelving Inc. and Metro)
Choose Chrome Wire Shelving When:
- The storage area is indoor and dry
- You need a wider range of Shelving Inc. unit sizes and accessories

Green Epoxy Wire Shelves, Posts, and Wall Mount Brackets
Add shelves to an existing unit, build a custom size, make a unit mobile, or mount shelves on the wall with individual components.
Green Epoxy Wire Shelves
Individual shelves come with shelf clips or split sleeves in depths from 12" to 36" and widths up to 72". Match the shelf to the brand of your existing posts.
Stationary Posts
Posts with leveling feet from Shelving Inc., Olympic, and Metro, sold individually or in 4-packs. Four posts are needed for each unit.
Casters and Mobile Posts
Shelving Inc. green posts work with Shelving Inc. casters. For Olympic and Metro, choose mobile posts that accept stem casters (not included), since their stationary posts cannot be used with casters.
Wall Mount Brackets
Olympic single and double brackets mount 14", 18", or 24"d shelves on a wall. Use 2 single brackets per shelf, or add a double bracket to join two shelves end to end.
Green Epoxy Wire Shelving Compatibility
Shelves, posts, and accessories from different brands may not be interchangeable. Shelving Inc. green wire shelving cannot be used with Shelving Inc. chrome wire shelving parts, and Metro products are not interchangeable with Shelving Inc. products.
When adding to shelving you already own, match the brand of your existing posts. If you are not sure which brand you have, contact our team before ordering.

Green Epoxy Wire Shelving FAQs
Answers to common questions about green epoxy wire shelving, compatibility, and cold storage use.
Can green epoxy wire shelving be used in walk-in coolers and freezers?
Yes. Green epoxy wire shelving is made for cold, humid, and wet environments, including walk-in coolers, freezers, and areas with temperature fluctuations.

No. Shelving Inc. green wire shelving cannot be used with Shelving Inc. chrome wire shelving parts. Green shelves should be paired with green posts from the same brand.
Can I mix shelves and posts from different brands?
