How to Expand a Wire Shelf

Often used in industrial or commercial settings, wire shelves typically come with interlocking shelves and legs that can be connected to expand the shelves and position them to suit your particular needs. Install wire shelves in your workshop, storage area or pantry for a durable and versatile method of organizing and stocking supplies. Purchase extra shelves and connect them to the legs of another set of shelves if you want to create double-wide shelving with only one set of center legs. Does this Spark an idea?
