1. What will be stored on the
shelves? This is a critical factor in the
success of making sure your system
supports your needs.
2. What height do I need for my
system? Will you want the maximum
vertical height for a particular room,
or is reaching the shelves from the
ground an important factor?
3. How wide & how deep do I need
my shelves? The proper depth and
width of the units will insure your
materials are stored at maximum
efficiency on the shelves, leaving no
dead space.
4. Finally how many units do you
need and do I need side panels
or back panels to comply with fire
codes, or to keep materials free from
dirt and dust?
