Outside Corner Units: A. Prepare Verticals

This document provides instructions for making an outside corner unit for a wall-mounted closet storage system. The instructions involve: 1. Cutting two vertical supports to extend from the top shelf to the floor and drilling holes for adjustable shelves. 2. Securing the vertical supports to the wall and each other at a right angle in the corner. 3. Making templates and cutting shelves to fit between the vertical supports, then drilling holes and inserting shelf pins and brackets to attach the shelves.

I Outside Corner Units

A nice finished look for wall units that stop short of


the corner is an outside corner unit. This basic design A
can be used for a floor-based or wall-hung unit.
I How to Make an Outside
Corner Unit
A. PREPARE VERTICALS
1. Cut two verticals to sit flush with the top shelves
of the wall-hung unit while they extend to the floor.
2. Drill holes for adjustable shelves along both sides
of each vertical (see page 46). Be sure to measure
down from the top edge %" and make a mark.
This is the (on center) placement for the first
shelf-pin holes, and then align the first pin-hole to
those marks. Alternative: Purchase shelf stock at the
desired depth with predrilled pinholes, and cut to the
desired height.
3. Remove the existing end vertical if it is wall-hung,
and replace it with the new end vertical cut in step
1 (above) that extends to the floor.
4. Place the second "wall" vertical along the wall and
flush up against the end vertical, so the two are
square in the corner, and check that the two new
verticals are level along the top.
B. INSTALL VERTICALS
1. Secure the vertical to the wall with two 1112"
drywall screws along the top of the vertical and
two 1
1
/2" drywall screws along the bottom of the
vertical, centered inside the shelf-pin holes
and approximately 1/4" from ends.
2. Use 11/4" pan head screws through the inside
of the end vertical and into the edge of the
wall vertical.
C. PREPARE AND INSTALL SHELVES
1. Make a template for the shelves on cardboard.
Cut the plywood out to serve as a cutting guide.
2. Cut the top, middle, and bottom shelves using
a circular saw for the straight sides and a jigsaw
for the front curve.
3. Mark the shelves for KD screw holes on center
to pre drilled shelf-pin holes on end and wall
verticals.
62 BUILD YOUR OWN CUSTOM CLOSET
Measure from the top of the existing wall-hung unit to the
floor. Cut two new verticals (at same depth as existing unit)
to th is height.
4. Drill the four KD holes on the underside of
each shelf (see page 46). Insert KDs into the
holes, tapping them in with a rubber mallet if
necessary.
5. Insert KD screw/dowels on the end vertical and
screw on the wall vertical. Lower the shelf down
into place, fitting KDs over screw/dowels. Lock
down the top shelf using a Phillips screwdriver.
Repeat for the middle and then bottom shelves.
6. Check the verticals for plumb, and adjust
rail brackets as necessary, following the
manufacturer instructions.
7. Fill in extra adjustable shelves as desired, using
shelf pins in the pre drilled holes on the vertical.
