POSTS
End post – Use at the end of a run, only 1 hole
Corner Post – 90-degree corner, usually used on the end of each straight run to return along the depth of the shelf.
Through Post – The rod runs straight through this post, used for spacing along the bar or joining 2 rods together.
Wall Bracket – This is for use when the rail ends at the wall, ideal for alcoves, cabinets etc.
We do not recommend spacing posts above 350mm.
If the gallery rail will run along the front of your shelving, use end posts at each end, and through posts every 8 – 14″. If the brass gallery rail will be installed along the front and sides of your shelving, use corner posts and end posts.
RODS
Available in 250mm & 1000mm.
If the rod if not long enough, join 2 rods together with a through post.
We recommend to use 1000mm lengths for long sections and 250mm for shorter sections. These can easily be cut to size using a hacksaw. The cut sections can also be used for side runs if the length is sufficient.
FIXINGS
All our posts have both top fixings and a rear fixing which is an m4 thread (screws are provided for both)
- Screw Fixing -Traditional slotted brass woodscrews fixed through the top of each post
- Rear Fixing – M4 bolt fixed through the base of the post
How to cut the rods
- Rod can be easily cut to size with a hacksaw.
- Once cut sand down any sharp edges to ensure a smooth fit into the posts.
Tips
- Use 1000mm rod lengths where possible, it will save both time and money and you might be able to use offcuts for other sides.
- Cut rod 50mm shorter than your shelf length – eg. if your shelf is 800mm, cut down to 750mm.
- If your material is stone such as marble or granite you can use clear adhesive instead of drilling if desired.
- Space rods 8 – 14″ apart evenly
- Draw out your design first to make sure you’ve measured properly.
