• Trimming to Fit: Brass is easily workable. Rods can be cut to precise custom lengths using a simple hacksaw. (Lightly sand cut edges for a smooth fit).

• Sizing Recommendation: Order rods approximately 2" (5 cm) shorter than your total shelf width.

POST TYPES & HOW TO ORDER

All components (posts and rods) are sold separately so you can build a custom setup for your specific shelf dimensions.

1. End Post (1 Hole): Placed at the starting and ending points of a straight rail run.

2. Corner Post (90-Degree): Used to turn 90° corners for side-wrapping shelf designs.

3. Through Post (Pass-Through): Used for center support on long shelves or to join two rod sections together.

Post Spacing Recommendations:

• We recommend placing a support post every 10"–12" (25–30 cm).

• Front-Only Rails: Use 2 End Posts + Through Posts spaced every 8"–14".

• 3-Side Wrapped Rails: Use End Posts at the back walls, Corner Posts at the front corners, and Through Posts along the front run as needed.
