4. Setup and Assembly Instructions

No drilling or special tools are required for assembly. Follow these steps:

1. Determine Height: The double poles can be adjusted to two height ranges: 128-205 cm (50.39-80.7 inches) or 218-295 cm (85.82-116.14 inches). Select the appropriate configuration for your ceiling height.
2. Assemble Poles: Connect the pole sections as needed to achieve the desired height range. Ensure connections are secure.
3. Position Poles: Place the assembled tension poles between the floor and ceiling in your desired location. The built-in spring on the top end cap will provide initial tension.
4. Secure Poles: Rotate the pole sections to expand them until they are firmly pressed against the floor and ceiling. Ensure the poles are vertical and stable.
5. Attach Shelves: Slide the shelf brackets onto the poles at your desired vertical positions. The shelves are expandable from 55 to 97 cm (21.65-38.18 inches). Adjust the shelf length to fit your space.
6. Tighten Shelves: Once the shelves are in place, rotate the tightening screws on the shelf brackets to firmly secure them to the poles. Ensure each shelf is level and stable.
7. Attach Hangers: Slide the hanger hooks onto the poles at a convenient height. These are ideal for hanging towels or clothes.
