3/8”
Double wide hutch towers may be assembled
contiguously, separated and supported by a single,
vertical panel positioned between towers, or
the separating vertical panel can be trimmed
so that the hutch “counter” piece is continuous
across two or more tower cabinets (as shown at
right – Fig. 2).
Since this is not a standard hutch configuration,
it is necessary to modify existing materials to
create an extra-wide unit. Exactly how much
material you trim to fit this custom design
depends upon the desired configuration. For
example, your client may desire only two (2)
shelves spaced 10” apart below the top shelf.
Thus, you would need to trim a thru-drilled
middle vertical panel’s top shelving section
to create a shelving section. Or, for an 8-foot
tall hutch with doors on the upper section, this
middle vertical panel would need
Fig. 2
to be trimmed to match the
door height of 36-1/2”.
Additionally, you must ensure
this custom trimmed middle
panel is cut to align with the
system 32 hole pattern for top
and bottom fixed shelves. See
close up for Fig. 3 for details.
1.
Prepare one or more separat-
ing middle vertical panels
using a thru-drilled panel.
First, trim to fit the upper
portion of your vertical
panel to match your design
for shelves or doors (24” or
36” – 8 foot unit only). For,

example, for 24” hutch doors, measure down from the top of the vertical panel, plus 3/8” below the
center of the nearest system hole and mark your cut line. (See Fig. 3.)

For other top section sizes, measure the appropriate distance, adding 3/8” from the center of the bot-
tom system hole.
2.
Cut the vertical panel to the dimensions you’ve marked.
3.
Edgeband the visible bottom edge of this upper vertical panel.
4.
Mark and trim the bottom of the middle vertical panel from the bottom end of the panel,
plus 3/8”
above
the center of the nearest system hole.
Discard the trimmed middle section of the
original panel.
