How to Assemble the Interlocking Grid Storage Systems
Interlocking grid storage systems have many uses around the home. You can use them to store toys, books, shoes or even food in your pantry. The possibilities are endless. You can purchase this type of storage unit at most major retail stores, and they are fairly easy to assemble.
- Confirm that you have all of the pieces necessary. Open the packaging and inspect the contents to ensure that you have all of the pieces of the interlocking grid before you begin construction. If you find that you are missing pieces, contact the system manufacturer and obtain the missing pieces.
- Decide on your grid configuration. Lay the storage cubes out on the floor and figure out the exact configuration that will work for your purposes. As you are laying the pieces out, remember that each cube will need five sides to account for the back and four sides. Some cubes will share sides, so take that into consideration when you are creating your design.
- Match up the grid connectors. After you have decided on the best design for your needs, you will need to make sure that you have an adequate number of connectors in order to build the storage system.
- Build your system. Simply use the grid connectors to attach the walls of the system in the locations that you desired. Place a connector at each wall connection point and apply pressure to lock the connector into place. Continue with this process until all of the interlocking storage cubes are assembled.
