Easy Installation & Assembly Tips Before Installing Overall Process For Installing Any Garage+ by Elfa Space • Always start by mounting your Top Track. • If lighting is part of your solution, run Lighting Cables through your Hanging Standards using the Cable Organizers and pull connector ends through the correct slots (bend ends back so they don’t fall back through the slots) according your Space Plan. Allow Lighting Cable to hang out 3"-4" / 75mm-100mm from the bottom of the Standard. • To square up the solution, first hang Standards on the Top Track. Push Standards together and add all Brackets. Position Standards according to your Space Plan. Add top Shelves or Work Surfaces to keep Standards in place. Use a level to square up Standards. Use a pencil to mark holes for securing Standards to wall. Remove Shelves or Work Surfaces used to square up your solution. Slide Standards over so you can drill pilot and anchor holes. Insert anchors. Slide Standards back into place. Do not screw the Standards to the wall at this time. • Connect Lighting: Secure Transformer in Cable Box. Mount Cable Box to Standards close to your power source. Add necessary Lighting Cables to link Lighting Cables in Standards together, pulling Lighting Cables up and across Top Track as needed. After installing Wire Shelves or Cabinets, install Light Bars and connect to Lighting Cables. Connect Lighting Cable and bottom of Standard to Transformer. Plug Power Cord into outlet. • Assemble any Cabinets and set aside. Cabinets that hang from Standards will be the last elements you install. This is when you will fully secure the Standards to the wall. • Install Wire Shelves and Work Surfaces working from the top down. • Install any Drawers working from the bottom up and adding Mesh Drawers as you go. • Install any Pegboards. • Secure Standards to wall. • Install Cabinets. • Install Light Bars and connect Lighting Cables. • Add Cable Covers under Cabinets. • Install Top Track and Standard Covers. • Assemble and secure Work Bench. 2 ©2024 The Container Store Inc.

Easy Installation & Assembly Top Tracks Made of exceptionally strong powder-coated steel, the Garage+ by Elfa Top Track and Standards are designed to stand up to heavier storage needs. Attach Top Track on Wall Notch Measure up from the floor approximately 94½" / 2,401mm and mark. Level your Top Track at mark and draw a line across the Top Track. Mark holes. TIP: Position the Track with the notch at the top and hit at least one stud. Track must be placed at least 1" / 26mm from ceiling to allow clearance to hang Standards. Pull Track and drill pilot holes with a 1/8" / 3mm bit. Oval-shaped holes make it easier to hit a stud. Enlarge holes with no stud with a 3/8" / 10mm bit. Place drywall anchors. Place the Track on the wall with the notch at the top, insert and tighten all the screws using a power drill with a #2 Phillips head bit. To avoid stripping the screws, finish hand tightening with a #2 Phillips head screwdriver. Attach to at least one stud. 3 ©2024 The Container Store Inc. All rights reserved. WF462445 10/24
