Abstract:
A suspended shelf system for securing to an elevated structure for retaining various items includes a system mounting track member and fastener elements for securing the track member to the elevated structure, at least two suspension members, each having a suspension member mounting end with track member engaging structures for securing each suspension member to the track member, so that each suspension member hangs substantially vertically from the track member, and so that the suspension members are spaced apart from each other, and at least one connecting rail having two connecting rail ends, each connecting rail end a including suspension member engaging structure, for mounting substantially horizontally between and engaging the spaced apart suspension members for retaining item hangers and shelf structures. A method is provided of assembling the above-described shelf system into a space and to an elevated structure for retaining various items, including the steps of selecting the dimensions of a space into which the shelf system is to be assembled, fastening the track member to the elevated structure, securing the suspension member mounting ends to the track member so that the suspension members are spaced apart from each other, selecting a desired elevation for a connecting rail in view of types of items to be retained, positioning the connecting rail substantially horizontally between the suspension members, and securing the connecting rail ends to the suspension members with the member engaging structure.
