Ventilated shelves have a top and bottom; the middle support wires are connected to the bottom of the shelf. To install, press shelves down and back into brackets. You should hear shelves lock into place. To adjust shelves, start from the bottom, repositioning them for adequate clearance as you go up. Smaller shelves can be lifted up and out of standards by the brackets, while larger shelves will need to be removed from brackets before repositioning.
Refer to your printed layout for optimal storage space. To prevent wire marks on clothing and to prevent small items from falling through slats, cover shelves with plastic shelf liners.

Draw a sketch of how you want your wire shelf organizational system placed within your closet. Review your sketch to figure out how many tracks you need and where to place them.
A track must be placed at the end of each shelf and at least every 3 feet in between, if the shelf is longer. Use a measuring tape to measure the wall of your closet to figure out exact shelf and track placement. Draw lines with a pencil onto the surface of your closet, if needed, to figure out shelf placement. Place the first track against the wall. Use a level to make sure the track is straight and plumb.

Attach rubber end caps to the cut ends. Draw a line along the level to mark this position. The shelving manufacturer should specify the size of this hole. Fasten its screw tight. Note that you do not need to use anchor hooks if you are drilling directly into wall studs.
Check to make sure the shelf is level, and then drill a hole for an expanding anchor hook where indicated at the base of the diagonal support. Repeat this process for the opposite shelf end. Again, you will not need anchor hooks if you are drilling into studs. For track-mounted closet shelves , begin by plotting where you want the top hang track to go, keeping in mind your shelving system.
Plan to affix the highest shelf at an accessible height and attach the track to the wall horizontally approximately 6 inches above it. Using a stud finder, draw a faint line indicating the location of each wall stud.
Have a helper hold the track on the level line while you drive screws through it into every available stud.
