Tennsco Rivet Rack

What is Growth in terms of Tennsco Shelving Systems?

For a starter bay of rivet rack, 5/8″ growth will need to be added to the Left to Right and Front to Back dimension of the rivet rack.  For add-on bays, with (ZTP T-Posts), the growth will be 1″ Left to Right.

Example:

2 Bays, 18″D x 48″W x 72″H One Starter and One Add-on
Left to Right = 97 5/8″ space required
(48″ wide starter bay + 5/8″ growth + 48″ wide add-on bay + 1″ growth).
Front to Back = 18 5/8″

Q-Line Shelving

For a starter bay of Q-Line Shelving, 1/4″ growth will need to be added to the Left to Right and Front to Back dimension of the bulk rack.  For add-on bays, with T-Post (BTP), the growth will be 3/8″ Left to Right.

Example:

2 Bays, 18″D x 48″W x 72″H One Starter and One Add-on
Left to Right = 96 5/8″ space required (48″ wide starter bay + 1/4″ growth + 48″ wide add-on bay + 3/8″ growth).
Front to Back = 18 1/4″

Bulk Rack

For a starter bay of Bulk Rack, 4 1/4″ growth will need to be added to the Left to Right dimension of the shelving.  For add-on bays, the growth will be 2 1/2″ Left to Right.  There will not be any Front to Back growth.

Example:

2 Bays, 18″D x 48″W x 72″H One Starter and One Add-on
Left to Right = 102 3/4″ space required (48″ wide starter bay + 4 1/4″ growth + 48″ wide add-on bay + 2 1/2″ growth).
