| Adjustable shelf standards are every bit as easy to
install as their stationary cousins. But the notches in
the standards give you the added flexibility of changing
the height, spacing, and even the lengths of individual
shelves as your storage needs change. |

 Use an
electronic stud finder to locate the wall studs where
you'll mount the shelf standards. Position the standards
so their top ends are closest to the ceiling. The top end
usually is the one with a countersunk screw hole closest
to the edge of the standard. |

 Mount the
first standard at the desired height using 3-inch
wallboard screws. Use a carpenter's level to make sure the
standard is plumb. Then, place the level on the top of the
mounted standard, and make a level mark at the stud
location where the next standard will go. |

 Attach the
next shelf standard to the wall using 3-inch wallboard
screws. Again, use a carpenter's level to make sure the
standard is plumb. Attach the arm brackets to the wall
standards, and install your shelves. |
