Step 3: Painting the shelves

If you are painting the shelves, wipe to remove dust and then apply the paint of your choice. If you apply a sealer or varnish, it is also a good idea to do so before assembling the shelf unit.

Step 4: Preparing the rope

Use a lighter or blowtorch to lightly singe the ends of the nylon rope to prevent it from unraveling.

Step 5: Knots

To make one side of the shelf, join the [2] longer dowels together, place a smaller dowel (shelf bracket) between the two longer dowels, and secure using a square tie knot.

Continue adding support bar support every 400mm and then repeat this for the remaining side section.

GOOD TO KNOW: The first (top) smallest platform support is secured 200mm down from the top of the longer side pegs.

Step 6: Stabilizing the shelf

Now connect the two sides of your shelf with two cross bars using a Japanese diagonal tie knot. Tip: You may want to ask someone to hold the sticks while you are tying the knots.

Once the main frame has been assembled, join the two sides of your shelf using diagonal cleats (on the back) secured with diagonal tie knots.

Step 7:

Use a hand saw (or jigsaw or miter saw) to cut the back pins diagonally on the ends.

Step 8: All the shelves in their places

Place the shelves in their places. Ready! We hope you liked it!
