Do the legs go all the way through the brackets to build taller shelves or are they individual lengths stacked on each bracket?

the bracket has a hole in it where the two by four goes through it completely so you can position the bracket and any height or position on the two by four as you wish

I suppose you could do either, but it is designed for just 1 piece as the leg and for stability I would recommend using one solid piece for the verticle legs. There are screw holes in the sides of the brackets to hold the height of the bracket along the vertical leg. The legs go all the way through the brackets and you slide the brackets to the height you want before fastening with the screws.

Yes, the legs go through the brackets. I have six assembeled units. I put the top shelf at 6 feet off the floor, but they could have been much higher, if you wanted. Some of my assembled units have the first shelf, one bracket width off the floor and others have the first shelf two feet off the floor. The ones two feet off the floor allows some garage items to go under the first shelf, instead of on the shelf. My garage ceiling is at ten feet and two small size moving boxes stack perfectly on the top shelves using a small step ladder.

When you build the shelves the legs are one long 2 X 4. So as long or tall as you want the shelves that is how long the 2 X 4 should be. I just used the standard 8' 2 X 4. The top shelf is the one in the picture. That shelf covers up the whole bracket.

Yes.You can do either. I have made four level shelves with the verticals going all the way to the basement ceiling and I have made single level mini tables. The picture you see on the site is where the horizontals cover the vertical posts, but you can do either way.

Yes, the legs go through the brackets, so you can space shelfing to fit your own needs, they are held in place with screws that are included with the brackets.

The way that the vertical posts are built prohibit this. I bought shorter shelf systems. Keep looking you will find them.

Lori, I don't really remember if the legs screw in or not, I put my unit a very long time ago and I frankly can't remember, but what I do know is that they are not that tall (a few inches from the floor). The cabinet as a whole is quite sturdy and I have been very happy with this purchase from day one (and it's been about 2 or so years ago since I made it).

There are couple of "brackets holders" included in the mounting package. They work well and install very easily. We installed our over a month ago and so far we have zero problems with the shelves.

Yeah, the sets are wholly modular. You can stack as high as you want, but if you add more than one or two shelves I'd worry about tipping. Be sure to secure it to the wall.

The supporting poles are inserted into the shelves. I do not think you can eliminate any middle shelve for taller items.

Yes they can be put at any height. I did not put the shelves or rods where they suggested. You just have to make sure that the plastic shims clip into one of the grooves on the rod. I had trouble with this at first but if you put the two pieces together on the rod and slide you will feel it snap into place. Once that is figured out assembly is no problem. I think they tell you to put them at the double groove to make it easier to get them at the same height. Just count the grooves to make sure they are level. Hope this helps.

They are 12" deep sturdy shelves except for the way the go together, these little plastic things are supposed to hold up the metal shelves.Every part is built sturdy except the little plastic things that are supposed to hold up the shelves. otherwise they are a waste of money.

The shelves are screwed into the unit. They don't allow for the shelf height to be adjusted.

Yes. I have built them both ways. If you build it as two shorter units, one will have 3 shelves & one will have 2, however.

The brackets slide over the wood shelf. They are not adjustable but are easy to install.

No. But the shelves can slide in the supports about an inch in either direction. So if the supports are installed level with each other it would be a long continuous shelf. You could use cable ties to keep the shelves in contact with one another once installed.

Not sure I understand the question. The picture is a pretty accurate representation. The shelves do not overhang the vertical supports.

All shelves are adjustable. The unit was to tall to fit in the space I needed, so I cut six inches off each leg and replaced the plastic end caps. Works great.

The shelves are adjustable. You have to place the rubber/vinyl stops at increments along the posts, I believe. That being said, my son had it put together before I had a chance to look at the directions so part of my answer is assumption. :-)

side by side would make the shelves longer. do you mean front to back - putting one shelf in front of the other to make it deeper? If so, I suppose you could but there are no instructions for this. If it were me and I wanted to make deeper shelves I would buy 2x8's for the junction between the two brackets. this would attach the brackets together, or alternatively you could come up with some bracing elements for the sides.

That's correct. The vertical support bars would be installed on every joist, so there would be about a 10" overhang on each side. If you are installing multiple units, there will be about a 3" gap between each. What worked well for me with multiple units was to use two heavy duty metal straps (about 1" wide, 8" long, 1/8" thick) and bolt those between the gaps in the shelves (with one on top and the other on the bottom of the shelving). This was done toward the outside of the shelves (away from the wall). That made all the units act as one. Then use 3" right angle brackets and bolts/screws to attach the shelves to the wall. That made the whole thing incredibly solid (they will sway a bit otherwise). That's correct.
