Wood Shelf Covers for Wire Shelving

If you want the wall tracks to match your walls, spray paint them and let dry before installing, or purchase white tracks for white walls.

Secure the vertical track standards to the wall either directly into studs (every other stud for light loads, every stud for heavy loads) or via a horizontal hang track installed across the top. Keep the tops of all standards level at your desired top shelf height.

Clip the shelf brackets into the vertical tracks wherever you want a shelf.

Cut a 1x12 to your desired shelf length. Nail and glue a 1x4 to the front edge with 1-1/4" brad nails, or use hidden pocket holes for a more polished look.

Paint or stain the shelves as desired, then secure to the brackets with short screws sized to your bracket hardware, driving about 1/2" into the wood.
