How to Install an Office Cubicle

How to Install an Office Cubicle thumbnail
Putting together a cubicle is easier than it looks.

If you have ever worked in a large office, chances are you have been stationed at a cubicle at one point or another. Cubicles are small work areas that are blocked off from one another through the use of temporary walls. By their very nature, these work areas are meant to be temporary in order to be able to be repositioned according to the needs of the business. Putting together a cubicle may seem daunting, but it's easier than it looks.

Things You'll Need

  • Drill with screwdriver bit

Instructions

    • 1

      Slide two of the vertical support pieces onto either end of one of the cubicle walls. The vertical supports are square poles that have tracks on all four sides to allow walls to slide on.

    • 2

      Slide a wall piece onto one of the vertical supports so it is perpendicular to the initial wall and forms an "L" shape. Slide a third vertical support onto the opposite end of the second wall piece.

    • 3

      Slide another wall piece onto the opposite end of the third vertical support to create a long wall. Place a fourth vertical support at the end of the wall.

    • 4

      Slide one more wall piece perpendicular to the vertical support you just placed to form a large "U"-shaped cube area.

    • 5

      Slide one more wall piece onto the "ends" of the "U" to create a small room with three sides, each two wall units long.

    • 6

      Slide a "L" bracket (these come with the kit) down the center vertical supports on each wall so that they are 28 inches over the ground. Screw them into place using the screws that came with the kit and the drill with screwdriver bit.

    • 7

      Place the desktop on the brackets and screw it into place by driving in the desk screws (which came with the kit) into the bottom of the desk through the brackets.

    • 8

      Place the vertical post covers on top of the posts to get a clean look for the top of your vertical posts.

Tips & Warnings

  • This is a basic cubicle setup. However, you can position the walls and supports however you like to get the setup you need for your office.
