Common Wire Shelving Questions

Can you cut posts into custom heights? +

Yes. Call us at 800.637.9508 to place a custom post height order. Custom cut posts are an additional $5 each ($14 for a set of 4) and can be cut to any size. Your custom posts will arrive with posts caps installed for a finished look.

Are the shelf clips included in the price of the shelves and shelving kits? +

Yes! All of our extra and specialty shelves and wire shelving kits come with shelf clips at no additional cost. If you need to buy shelf clips separately, you can purchase them here.

How thick are the wires on your wire shelving? +

The wires on the sides are about .2" thick. The smaller horizontal wires are about .135" thick. Check out our wire shelving technical specifications for more detailed information.

How do I purchase a wire shelving kit that is a different size than what you offer? +

You can make any size wire shelving unit with any number of shelves by purchasing the size posts you need and the number/size shelves you need (shelf clips are included). We have a Wire Shelving Parts page that has everything to build your custom unit.

Is your wire shelving hard to put together? +

No. Our wire shelving requires no tools for assembly. Simply attach post clips to the notch on the posts you want your shelf on, slide the shelf down onto the clips, and push (or use a rubber mallet) to secure the shelf. Repeat the process for units with more shelves. Our products come with an easy assembly guide to help you through the process. We also have videos that demonstrate the process.

Can I add casters to my wire shelving unit? Which ones are the right ones? +

Yes, casters can be easily installed to a new or pre-existing unit. Read our tips for choosing the perfect caster to help you make the right decision for your unit.

Can I add another shelf to my wire shelving unit? +

Yes, you can add as many shelves as you can fit on the posts. Just make sure you will have enough vertical space for the items you wish to store. We carry individual shelves (complete with shelf clips) that you can add to your shelving unit.

Do I have to have a shelf at the bottom? +

If you choose not to have a bottom shelf, we recommend that you support the posts with 3 or 4 hanger rails along the depth and width of the bottom. Installing triangle footplates and/or post wall brackets can also help to stabilize a unit without a bottom shelf.

How are SI brand shelves measured? +

Our Wire Shelving dimensions are outside to outside of the shelf which includes the post hole. The depth is front to back and the width is left to right.

What is the distance between the shelves? +

Our Wire Shelving posts have notches every inch that allow shelves to be adjusted, so you can make the space between your shelves as short or tall as you need them to be!

What is the difference between your SI Wire Shelving and Metro Wire Shelving? +

Our wire shelving is manufactured to the same specifications and grade of steel as Metro, meaning they have the same weight capacity. The Super Erecta Metro line we carry has levers that allow for easy shelf adjustment. However, our SI brand has far more sizes to choose from since we stock our brand in bulk. If you put SI brand and Metro side by side you really couldn't tell the difference but our SI brand is more budget friendly because of our bulk quantities.

What are the black rings in the packaging? Are they a part of the shelf? +

The black rings in the packaging keep the shelves in place during transit. They are not a part of the shelf, so you can dispose of them if you wish.

What parts make up a post? +

Here is an illustration of our posts' anatomy. Note: all posts over 54" in length come in two pieces that are held together by a connector (as shown in the picture). Smaller posts will not have this piece because they do not ship in two pieces.
