Setup and Assembly

The VEVOR Plant Shelf is designed for tool-free assembly, making setup quick and straightforward. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Attach the support poles to the casters: Screw the bottom block into the bottom of four long poles. Insert the rubber casters into the bottom block.
2. Connect the support poles to the bottom shelf: Snap the plastic clips onto the desired height on the poles. Ensure the arrow on the plastic clips points upwards. Slide the bottom shelf over the poles until it rests securely on the clips.
3. Install subsequent shelves: Continue adding pole sections and shelves, securing each shelf with plastic clips at your desired height. The shelves are adjustable to accommodate different plant sizes.
4. Install LED Grow Lights: The grow lights can be mounted in two ways: directly clipped to the underside of the shelves or hung using the provided S-hook chains. Insert the aluminum reflectors along the card slots on both sides of the grow light. Connect the lights in series using the provided connecting cords. Each light has an independent switch.
5. Place PP Mats: Lay the leak-proof PP mats on each shelf to protect against water runoff.
6. Secure Wiring: Use the black nylon zip ties and tearable hook & loop straps to manage and secure the power cables and connecting cords, ensuring a tidy and safe setup.
