HTS/HDS INSTALLATION

Horticulture shelving comes in two (2) categories. Trough and
Corner Drain shelving. The underlying framework and support
beams are identical with common installation practices.

This installation guide begins by showing the assembly of the rivet­span frame. Followed by installation of tapered support beams and
shelf installation. Refer to steps 1 through 8.

For more specific information regarding the corner drain shelf and
final adjustments refer to steps 5 through 7.

For anchoring units to floor and linking multiple units together
please reference the Rivet-Span Installation Instructions #32-50500­000A @ www.borroughs.com.

NOTE: Lights and watering systems may be installed on each level
with the understanding weight of lights and water systems directly
affect maximum shelf load capacity.

Maximum load capacity per shelf is 500 lbs.
evenly distributed.

STEPS

Begin assembly of shelving system by fitting
together the standard double rivet angle
beams creating a frame at top and bottom.

Shelves are set on a taper to encourage
proper drainage. Right and left-hand side shelf
supports are supplied for this. Ensure proper
orientation of brackets (stamped “L” & “R”)
and use a mallet to fully seat rivets into posts.

NOTE: Front set of rivets will be one place
below rear.

Install front and back double rivet channel
beams. Ensure that the perimeter is flush
creating an angled plane towards front. Use a
mallet to ensure rivets are fully seated into
posts.

Install one (1) tie support for 48-inch-wide, 60-inch-wide, 72­inch-wide, and two (2) for 96-inch-wide shelves per level.
These are also angled and can only be installed one way. Use
supplied ¼-20 hardware and fasten into place with a 7/16-inch
socket and wrench.

TROUGH SHELVES

Place shelf flush on supports with gutter towards front of unit.
The back of shelf has a welded back splash which also aids in
preventing shelf front sliding forward.

To complete installation repeat steps and install additional
levels.

troughs together. Wider end of slice plate is installed
outside the trough and narrower end is inside connecting

on all edges. Allow silicone to dry.

To cap end of trough off. Place
cap into end of trough, hold
and glue using a bead of
silicone on all edges. Allow

DRAIN SHELVES

Each corner drain shelf is supplied with a drain and plastic
plug. To install drain, insert plug in existing hole on topside of
shelf. Put gasket and threaded retainer onto protruding plug
under shelf and tighten. Silicone or similar sealant can aid in a
water tight shelf.

Similarly, for opposite side from drain, install plastic plug. The
plug is a press fit application.
