Can this unit be anchored to a wall 6" off the floor? I want to put this in my garage and the foundation comes in several inches from the wall.

If the foundation prevents the shelf from being pushed against the wall itself and you want to anchor to the wall the BEST and only safe solution is to provide a wood block that fills in between shelving and wall (same thickness as foundation sticks out) or a bracket that bridges the distance. Suggest putting some weight on the shelves to settle them before anchoring to wall. Garage floors will be a touch uneven. Shelf joints allow some settling to self adjust. Screwed to wall prevents this. So settle then attach.

it will not work with the legs supported, could you make a wood block or find a brick to match the height of your foundation?

That would put the anchor point at the most stable location. Strongly recommend multiple anchors along the vertical. Depending on your wall construction, this should be rather easy to do ,assuming you have a little bit of know how. Why not come off the wall with short pieces of 2x4's nailed or screwed in to wall studs, then anchor shelving to that? One other thing, the shelves themselves are particle board a damp garage will warp the shelves. I would also suggest, that the manufacturer over rated the weight this unit will hold. And because of the nature of material used in regards to the gauge of steel, this must be anchored for safety. That would put the anchor point at the most stable location.

I would say no. It is not one continuous vertical unit. It goes together using the middle shelf. I think if you were to try to attach the uprights to a wall, with the bottom unsupported, it would not work well.

The shelf in our garage sits flat on the concrete floor and is not anchored to anything. I wouldn't think you could anchor it to the wall above the floor and from what you describe only partly supported by a hard surface and expect it to hold anything of consequence without pulling out from the wall. The unit needs to sit on a surface with all four legs level with each other to perform as it should.

Yes! We have our unit through the block basement wall and used a 2 x 6 as a frame to let unit sit on! We are very happy with our unit!

This unit is a right good size to hang on the wall it is more of a floor model. If you have the right equipment or know of a carpenter who can build you something it may be possible.

The first shelf is approx 5 inches from the floor, but the second shelf is 15 inches from the floor. The unit is very sturdy and I think you could put it together leaving the bottom shelf off and still have the stability you need. I suppose you could take a chance, but that's up to you. Good luck.

There is a small hanger on the bottom of the unit that will allow you to hang it from a hook. Be aware that the base would hang down away from the ceiling about 2 inches.

Yes, i mounted mine on the wall in my garage. I weight 205 and has not been an issue. Make sure both sides go into studs.

Hi and good morning, if the base of the stand is placed 6 inches from the wall that leaves two inches for rotation of the shelving unit. Of course this still depends on your base board? But having a smaller home this was ideal for me. Have a good day.

I got feet for mine as I use them for displaying pictures. One could hang from a wall for personal items. The 6 ft. Are heavy. You would need a strong wall hook. Hope that helps.

No. I found the bottom too short to keep it in the ground. Fixed by trenching and setting in cement. It is not heavy, so it should not be hard to attach to a wall.

I used a 6" hole saw to drill a hole throught the end joist. My unit is installed in an unfinished basement. I used concrete anchors to bolt it to the cinder block foundation. I'm guessing here, but if your basement is finished, you may have a drop ceiling or ceiling to go through to access the end joists.

I thikn that might work out OK for you. It comes in 4 pieces that seem to have some flexibility to them if you put the tallest piece under say a 1" foundation. It might be a little bit of a bump, but you could also raise the 2nd piece slightly to make it flatter.

Mine isn't wall anchored and it's pretty stable. I've two spacers at the top of the shelves to off set the small amount of space that is caused by the shelves being against the floor board on the bottom but that's all and it is very stable to me. If you feel it's not stable enough free standing then I'd use an anchor at the top. Another thing to consider is if you plan to lay anything on top of the shelves such as a thin book or DVD case, be aware that if your not careful, it might slip down the back and you might have to dig it out. This happened to me and I had to get a pair of grabbers to get it out. To keep this from happening again, I placed a shelf mat on top of the shelves. Hope this helps.

I think it's ment to be mounted to the floor. I guess you have to go under your house to securely fasten it. Anyway good luck

A standard wall stud will do. I believe i have mounted it onto a 12" stud. Try to mount it on you larges stud if you have varied studs. Not sure if they come this small but i believe it would work on a 6" too

It is designed to be mounted to a wall stud, but you can mount it at any height I suppose. Your baseboard trim may be an issue unless you make a minor cut to allow unit to sit flush to wall or use a spacer behind it that is the same width of your baseboard trim if you have trim. You may be better off looking for a floor stand style in all honesty.

Mine is attached to my I beam in my basement (7 feet from floor). Hooked on a 6" carabiner and is still one foot off the floor. Works great for me.

Yes, but make sure it is several feet on all sides away from the wall and the floor is flat.
