Question 1

Can two of these units be stacked, one directly under the other, similar to the way the 4x8 and 2x8 are shown?

Accepted Answer

You can "stack" them. I preferred to connect them to the wall because the weight rating is higher. The instructions lead you to believe that they have to be about 26" apart vertically. But when you read through you find that they can be closer than 26". The video with the two 2 x 4s stacked, but attached to the wall instead of cabled to the ceiling and each other, are only 21" apart. My other installation of a 2 x 8 stacked with a 2 x 4 aligned is the standard 26" vertical separation. To get the complete low-down go to newageproducts.com. Their site is almost as bad as the instruction manual, so it takes some fumbling around to find the installation manual. I tried to include the link to it, but without luck. I highly recommend these shelving units. They are robust, pretty easy to install, and slick looking.

Question 2

I have 24 inch spacing on the studs in my wall.  Would this work?

Accepted Answer

Hello, Thank you for contacting NewAge Products with your inquiry. If the spacing of your wall studs do not match the desired size and direction of your Wall Mounted Shelf installation, you will need to install a horizontal support brace in the correct position (minimum 2” x 8”). Install an additional horizontal support brace in the required locations for your wall mounting depending on the Wall Mounted Shelf.  For further information and clarification on this, please feel free to reach out to us on our customer service line at 1-877-306-8930 option 1 and we will be happy to assist you with any concerns.

Question 3

Can you install to 16” spaced studs?

Accepted Answer

The system is preset for 48" bracket spacing.  If your starting point is on a stud with the following studs at 16" centers, it will fit with no issues.  In my case, the starting point was not on a stud, so I had to drill holes in the back rail at my stud point, insert a spacer block (used some 1/4" spacers) and screwed the unit to the wall.  The support cables had to be angled as I didn't want to run a supporting 2x6 at the top to make all of the cable supports line-up, so I just had them angled to meet the studs.

Question 4

If mounting to the wall, what is the shortest height I can mount?

Accepted Answer

You can mount this about any height--AS LONG AS YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE SIDE CABLES. As you can se in the picture these cables need/must be screwed into studs (they come with plates). You can actually mount them either angled like the picture has OR you can mount them straight up into your ceiling. I want to say its about 36 to 40 inches you need. Everything depends on the height of your ceiling or where you are putting this on your wall. I love this shelf--incredibly sturdy--BUT it is a 2 person job-
