How to Assemble Wall Shelving


When you've chosen the right kind of retail shelving, supermarket shelving or shop shelving for your store, you can either collect it from our warehouse or we can deliver it to you. Then all that's left is to assemble your shelving units! We will provide you with the instructions you need to do this, but we can also assist you with putting your shelving together if you need a little help.


Here are the basics to assembling wall shelving units:

1. Clear your space and make sure that the floor and walls are clean.

2. Lay out your equipment and tools to ensure you have everything you need to get started.

3. Fit the foot of the shelving unit to the vertical posts, using a rubber mallet to ensure that they are fitted together securely and are level.

4. Using a spanner, unwind the levellers on each foot so that they are equal and level. You can then readjust them once you have your unit in place to compensate for uneven floors or other variables.

5. Insert the first back panel in between the posts - you may need a second pair of hands to help you with this step - and ensure the 'teeth' at the bottom of the back panel fit correctly into the posts.

6. Continue to add the rest of the back panels until they reach the top of the unit. Use a spirit level to ensure each panel is straight as you go.

7. Fit the base plinth at the bottom of the unit, at the front of the feet.

8. Now you can start to add your shelves, slotting the brackets into the slots on the posts at equal heights each side. You can also angle the shelf to display certain products like paper goods.

9. Add Epos ticket strips to the front of each shelf so that you can easily add product information and pricing.

10. Your wall shelving unit is complete! You can now connect it to other units to form a run or add an end bay to finish off your shelving neatly.

  

At Shelving4shops we stock a full range of new shop shelving now available in cream, black and grey:

- Wall Shelving - A great way to optimise the floor space you have available in your store, this shelving allows you to have plenty of shelving space while still being able to have decently sized aisles to allow customers to easily walk around your store.
- Low Gondolas - In smaller stores, using low gondolas to create aisles gives you ample display space while allowing you to have a good unobstructed view throughout your entire store.
- High Gondolas - In larger stores, these can be used to create aisles throughout your store, in smaller stores use high gondolas around the perimeter of the store or to create aisles.
- Magazine Units - The biggest selling point of a magazine for many is the front cover, by using magazine units you can clearly show the cover to passing customers. These units can be used for any paper goods where part of the selling point is the front, like greeting cards.
- Shelves and Accessories - Customise your shelving with our full range of accessories, using risers and EPOS strips are a quick way to ensure the optimum display for your items.
- Low End Bays - End bays are an excellent way to display sale items and to encourage impulse purchase items for customers. It is now quite common for stores to place offers at the end of aisles as this is one of the places in the store that receives the most foot traffic.
- High End Bays, - End bays are an excellent way to display sale items and to encourage impulse purchase items for customers. It is now quite common for stores to place offers at the end of aisles as this is one of the places in the store that receives the most foot traffic.
- Corner Shelving - Utilise that dead corner space in your store with corner shelving, often this space goes unused by traditional shelving.
- Peg Board Wall Shelving - Not all items work well being displayed on a flat shelf, using pegboards gives you the versatility of having hooks to hang items on as well as the option to attach shelving when you do not have many hanging items.
- Peg Board Gondola Shelving - Not all items work well being displayed on a flat shelf, using pegboards gives you the versatility of having hooks to hang items on as well as the option to attach shelving when you do not have many hanging items.
- Peg Board Ends - Use the end of your asiles to display sale items or promotional items and encourage impulse purchases before the customer reaches the checkout.
