How to Build Your Own Wire Shelving Configuration

Building your own version of an idea in this collection comes down to four choices. The Wire Shelving Info page has full sizing and assembly details.

1. Choose Your Shelf Size

Measure the width and depth of your space, then pick from 66 wire shelf sizes. Most shelves are rated 300 to 800 lbs each, evenly distributed. Check each product page for its rating.

2. Choose Your Post Height and Number of Shelves

Post height sets the overall height of the unit. Shelves adjust along the posts in 1" increments, so you can space them to fit what you store.

3. Choose a Finish for the Space

Chrome-plated shelving is rated for indoor, dry storage such as kitchens, closets, offices, and living spaces. Epoxy-coated shelving resists rust and corrosion for humid or wet areas such as bathrooms, garages, and gardening work. The Wire Shelving Buyer's Guide compares finishes in more detail.

4. Add the Accessories Your Use Needs

Casters make a unit mobile, dividers and ledges keep items in place, liners create a solid surface, and hanger rails and hooks hold clothing or tools. Mobile units may also list an overall capacity, which can be lower than the shelf ratings added together.
