Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Prepare Your Workspace: Lay out all hardware and tools on a flat surface. Being organized from the start makes the job easier.

2. Choose Your Mounting Spot: Decide whether to install the rod racks on the wall (horizontally or vertically) or the ceiling. Use a level to make sure your rack will be straight and aligned properly.

3. Mark the Anchor Points: Hold the first rod rack in place and use your pen, pencil, or another sharp tool to mark all six anchor hole locations through the rack base.

4. Drill Pilot Holes: Drill into each marked spot using the appropriate bit for the wall anchors. Match both the depth and diameter to ensure a snug fit.

5. Insert Wall Anchors: Tap the wall anchors into the holes with a hammer until they sit flush with the surface.

6. Mount the First Rod Rack: Align the rack over the anchors and drive in the six screws using a screwdriver or drill driver to secure it in place.

7. Align the Second Rack: Place a rod into the installed rack and use it to guide the placement of the second rack, ensuring proper spacing and alignment.

8. Repeat and Secure: Repeat steps 3 through 6 to install the second rod rack.

9. Expand as Needed (Optional): Need more room for rods? Most of our rod racks interlock, so you can easily add more for extra storage down the line. Expand your collection and explore more storage solutions here.
