NOTE: Make sure the gap in the bottom track assembly is positioned on the storage column side of the threshold. If needed, remove the rail and track extension and reinstall them in the opposite end of the track.

Place the bottom track on the ﬂattest part of the bath/shower ledge with the leg toward the outside of the shower.

Position the bottom track so there is a 3/4″ (1.9 cm) equal gap between each wall and the ends of the bottom track.

Temporarily secure the bottom track to the ledge with masking tape.

4. Mark the Wall Jamb Locations

NOTE: When the wall jambs are properly positioned, the slots will be on the bath side of the wall jamb. The slots should also be positioned away from the wall, closer to the door.

Position a wall jamb against a wall directly in line with the bottom track. The wall jamb should sit ﬂat against the wall, with the slots to the inside of the shower and away from the wall.

NOTE: The wall jamb must sit ﬂat on the bottom ledge. If your ledge has a curve in the corners at the side wall, it may be necessary to shape the bottom end of the wall jamb with a ﬁle.

Slide the ends of the bottom track assembly ﬂush against the wall jambs. Make sure the wall jamb is properly situated.

Use a level to plumb the wall jamb vertically and mark the hole locations on the wall. Repeat the procedure with the other wall jamb. Remove the bottom track assembly and wall jambs.

NOTE: When installing on ceramic tile, use a center punch to nick the surface of the glaze. Tap the center punch lightly with a hammer to avoid cracking the tile.

Lightly center punch the hole locations. Drill a 3/16″ hole at each mark. Use a tile or masonry bit for ceramic tile. Thoroughly clean the shower ﬂoor ledge and wall. Insert plastic anchors in each hole.

8. Install the Top Track

Measure the distance (″A″) from wall to wall at the top of the wall jambs. Mark the top track at the measured cutting dimension (″A″).

NOTE: For best results use a 32-teeth per inch hacksaw and miter box.

Cut the top track on the inside edge of the mark [approximately 1/32″ (1 mm) from the mark] to allow space for the top track to slide into place easily.

Carefully ﬁle the rough edges smooth where the top track was cut, taking care to avoid damaging ﬁnished surfaces.

Position the top track over the wall jambs and storage column and gently push down.

9. Install the Shelving Units and Hooks

Install each shelf by setting them down over two supports and pressing down. On the shelf of your choice, clip the two hooks onto any portion of the front of the shelf.
