How to build

Choose your solution

We have a wide range of BOAXEL combinations to choose from, which you can find in the store or on our website at IKEA-USA.com/BOAXEL. If you don't find a pre-designed solution that you like, you can create the perfect combination that suits your needs and taste on your own. Begin by looking through the ready-made combinations on the web and choose one that inspires you. You can then use our planning tool to design your own unique combination. There are four steps to follow:

1. Before you start to plan your new storage solution, find out what space you have to work with. Sketch out your working space, taking measurements from the floor to the ceiling and between the walls. Make a note of any features such as windows or doors that might affect the size of your storage solution, take detailed measurements and make room for opening and closing doors.
2. Choose the number of suspension rails and wall uprights that you need based on your planned combination.
3. Choose interiors. Think through your day-to-day needs and what you need to store.
4. Choose the number of brackets needed in order to install your chosen interiors. Complete your storage solution with your choice of boxes and inserts from our extensive range of interior accessories.

? Tip! If you choose a solution with 1 section, you need 2 brackets per interior part. In a solution with 2 sections, you only need 3 brackets -- 1 at each end and 1 in the middle. And in a solution with 3 sections you need 4 brackets. For example: in the image above you can see that for 1 shelf you need 2 brackets, for 2 shelves you need 3 brackets and for 3 shelves you need 4 brackets.

How to calculate the width of a tailor-made solution?

When calculating the width of your BOAXEL solution you need to take the suspension rail measurements into consideration. The suspension rail comes in the sizes of 243/4", 321/2" and 715/8", example: 321/2" + 321/2" + 321/2" = 963/4". The suspension rail could be cut to exact widths if needed.

If you choose not to use the suspension rail you need to add the width of the shelves or the other interiors and then add 3/8" on each end of the solution. This is to account for the outside ends of the wall uprights, example: 3/8" + 321/2" + 321/2" + 321/2" + 3/8" = 971/2".

Width of interiors: All interiors come in two widths, 235/8" and 311/2". (See the interiors chapter for the full list of functions). The adjustable clothes rail and shelf can be adjusted between 77/8-113/4".

? Tip! When using a suspension rail, place an interior, such as a shelf, at the top and bottom of the wall uprights before attaching it to the wall. This will help you find the right distance between the uprights. Use a spirit level for the final check that everything is straight before attaching them to the wall.

? Tip! If you plan to have a mesh basket at the bottom of your solution, we recommend that you place the wall uprights 6" from the floor. This is to ensure that the mesh basket can be pulled out without touching the floor. It also helps you to utilize the full height of the wall in the best possible way.

IMPORTANT! When installing a wall mounted BOAXEL solution, follow the assembly instructions that come with the wall uprights to ensure you get the correct distance between drilling holes.
