Custom Shelving on Demand
You Determine the Size
With the ShelfLinks shelf kit, you can make sturdy custom shelving that will fit anywhere. Just add 2x4s to make shelves in any length, height and configuration. It's your call!
Easy to Build
The ShelfLinks shelf kit is easy to assemble, using only a powered screwdriver and a saw. Only straight cuts are required — no miters or angles. All hardware is included.
ShelfLinks are Strong
You don't have to put up with flimsy shelves anymore! Made of heavy-gauge structural resin and assembled with rugged 2x4s, ShelfLinks can support spans up to 8 feet and hold up to 1,000 lbs. per shelf. You can also attach your ShelfLink unit to the wall when tipping may be a concern.
Fits Anywhere, Holds Anything
Using a building block method, you can use as many ShelfLinks as you need to create shelving in dimensions not possible with other types of shelving. ShelfLinks shelves can be modified or expanded as your storage requirements change. When used in conjunction with the 2x4 Basics workbench kit (Item 179065, sold separately), ShelfLinks can satisfy your storage requirements in the garage, basement, workshop, attic, pantry, shed, dorm room — wherever!
