More Rock Solid ShelvingNever, ever, ever any problems with Metro. May seem like a lot of coin to drop, but the flexibility of sizes and adjustments compensate for ANY situation, now and in the future. Great investment. Metro is contagious; once my friends and family have seen it in action, they come up with countless uses of their own.

Installing this in a laundry room above a washer and dryer. Using 2 18" x 60" shelves one at the top 74.5" and the 2nd shelf at 58". Will it be stable?

I want to put wheels on one shelf to make a rolling pallet,will the wheel attach without a post? Is there apiece that allows for that?
Asked by: Buddy11
No you need a post. But the posts can be cut down to almost nothing to accommodate wheels. A bit of waste for the rest of the post though so by the shortest post possible. Know the shortest heigh you can get by with beforehand then go in to ask if the posts can be cut down to give you that height. There is a minimum needed for the shelf to sit on a post and wheel
attatchments.

I have a 12' ceiling. I've got metro shelving using the tallest posts (74.5") but I'd love to go taller. Can I add posts on top of posts?
If I were to add posts on top of posts, could I use shelves to hold the joints together? I would bolt all of it to the wall!
Asked by: LisaChar
No, unfortunately our Metro Commercial Posts cannot be combined to create a taller solutions.
