Assembly Guide: Flexx Shelving
This guide covers all aspects of assembly for products in our Flexx Wall Shelving & Hanging Rail range:
- Shelving Systems
- Clothes Rails Systems
- Basket Systems
- Rack Systems
Flexible Shelving System: Layouts shown in the product images are just a suggestion. Flexx is a modular system, designed so that you have the freedom to adjust and position your Shelves, Clothes Rails and other accessories to suit your needs. Easily expand and rearrange by adding individual components.
Wall Track & Uprights: It is simple to space your Uprights with the Wall Track. The Track is affixed first, which the Uprights are hooked onto and from there you can space them as required, depending on the width of Shelves and accessories.
Accessories: Please note that there are specific Brackets and fitting components needed for different accessories e.g. a Clothes Rail with a Wire Shelf is fitted using a different Shelf Bracket and method compared to the Clothes Rail with a Wooden Shelf. See Components guide below.

Fitting the Wall Track on the Wall
1. Measure and plan where to put Wall Track
The Wall Track can be shortened if needed (skip to Step 3 if not required). To trim, measure up the desired length and measure the width of the Shelf you’re using against the Wall Track. Allow an extra 10-15% on to this measurement and mark with a pencil.
2. Cut Wall Track to length (optional)
If you are trimming your Wall Track, ensure entry tabs for your Uprights are included in your measured Wall Track section.
3. Measure the height of the Wall Track
Next, measure your Wall Track for your chosen height. Place the Wall Track against the wall and check it’s horizontal with your spirit level.
4. Drill holes in wall for fixings
Mark the holes with a pencil. Drill a hole for each mark to insert rawl plugs.
5. Screw Wall Track to wall and add Uprights
Screw Wall Track to the wall. You can now hook on and slide your Uprights.
6. Check Uprights spacing for accessories
Check that your Uprights are correctly spaced for your Shelves and accessories.
Fitting a Wire Shelf with a Clothes Rail
1. Drop Shelf Brackets onto Uprights
When fitting a Wire Shelf, lift and drop Wire Shelf Brackets onto Uprights, and make sure both align.
2. Add Clothes Rail to Shelf Bracket
House your Clothes Rail by slipping the hook onto the bracket and into its slot. Hang your clothes rail.
3. Add Clothes Rails first before Shelves
Add any Shelves after positioning your Clothes Rails first.
4. Add Wire Shelves onto Shelf Bracket
Position the Shelf into the two slots on both Brackets. Press the Shelf down as you push the shelf towards the wall and click into place.
5. Lift back of Shelf to remove
To remove, lift the back and pull the Shelf towards you.
6. Affix Uprights to wall (recommended)
For added security, we recommend that you secure the Uprights to the wall. If doing so, ensure Uprights are vertical and mark the screw holes. Affix Uprights to the wall.
Fitting a Wooden Shelf with a Clothes Rail
1. Add Brackets onto Uprights, then Shelves
Lift and drop the Wooden Shelf Bracket onto both Uprights so they align. Simply place Shelf onto Brackets.
2. Align the Shelf to the Brackets
Line up the Bracket with the edge of the shelf. Mark corner holes with a pencil.
3. Drill pilot holes and secure Shelf with screws
Drill small pilot holes, do not drill completely through your shelf. Steady your Shelf to screw into the pilot hole.
4. Affix mount hook to the Clothes Rail
Clothes Rails can be added by firstly screwing the mount hook to each end of the rail.
5. Hook Clothes Rail onto Bracket
Each Bracket has an oblong hole to attach the hook onto.
6. Insert stopper
Finally, for a finishing touch, insert the stopper into the top of the hook hole to secure the rail.
Fitting Sliding Frames (for Baskets and Racks)
1. Drop Shelf Brackets onto Uprights
Lift and drop the Shelf Bracket onto both Uprights so they align.
