Required Tools
Fasteners:
There are pre-drilled mounting holes in each mounting plate. Appropriate fasteners for your surface must be
utilized in every mounting hole for proper installation. Fasteners for securing racks to the frames are provided,
but hardware for attaching the frames to the floor and ceiling are not. We recommend the following fasteners for
these surfaces:
Drywall installations should attach to joists or wood backing when available with a #8 X 1-1/2” course thread
screw or larger or use expanding hollow wall anchors with at least #8 screw size
Wood surfaces use #8 X 1 ¼” course thread screws or larger
Concrete, Brick or Stucco: 3/16” x 1 ¼” masonry screw or #8 x 1 ¼” screw with appropriate size expanding
concrete anchor

1. Measure ceiling height and mark the frames
- Measure the ceiling height in the place where
the frame is to be installed. Insert the plastic couplers into the open ends of one frame section and lay it next
to the other frame section, interlaced, as shown below. Position the frames so that the measurement from top to
bottom of the base plates equals your ceiling height. At the widest part of the coupler, mark both legs of the other
frame section.
Note:
If ceiling height results in the cut mark aligning with one of the cross members, cut 2 inches off of the section with the
couplers and perform the rest of the procedure again.
2. Cut the frame
- Using a reciprocating saw, band saw or hack saw; squarely cut both legs of
the frame at the marks from Step 1.
Note: An abrasive cut-off saw should not be used, as the heat generated may damage the finish of the FCF-HD.
