Installation Guide

4. Step 4: Position the Spacers (C) behind the mounting holes, and fasten to the wall using the
fasteners (not included) described in the recommended installations.
Note: Customizing your Portamate Wood Rack is easy and practical to solve your workshop
storage needs.
Recommended Installations:
1. See Step 3 for drywall or other paneled wall sheeting.
2. Installing on masonry walls: Use ¼” (6mm) masonry anchors. The assembled wood rack is 1
5/8” (41 mm.) thick so a suitable length of anchor is 2 ¾” (71 mm.) minimum. Use the proper
drill bits and fasteners to create a solid, strong hold of your wood rack.
3. Installing on a steel wall or shed: Mount the racks securely to a portion of the structural
framework at top and bottom or sides so the weight is properly transferred to the wall. To do
this, first install floor to roof verticals such as a 2 x 4 and secure with fasteners every 12” ( 300
mm.). The assembled wood rack is 1 5/8” (41 mm.) thick so a suitable length of fastener is 2 ¾”
(71 mm.) and ¼” (6 mm.) diameter.
