No Wall Damage
The shelf brackets and pegboard get screwed to the 2×4 timber stud using timber screws. There is no need to drill or screw anything into the wall which saves having to spackle and paint. A great time saver if you are a renter like me.
Easy to Use Brackets
The timber posts are easy to set up using Labrico 2×4 Adjuster brackets. There is a top and bottom bracket which pop on each end of the 2×4. The top bracket is tightened against the ceiling by turning the adjusting screw.
It’s held there by tension and no tools are required.
Create Your Own Space
You can customize your wall storage unit to suit your space. You can:
- add a couple more shelves
- have shelves that span across the 3 beams (rather than the zig-zag design)
- hooks for pictures
If you have a narrow space you can use 2 timber posts instead of 3 and have a single column of shelves. (see picture below)

I sat my pegboard at the same height as the top shelf – 120cm (47.2”).
Choose a height that suits.
