LoginRivet Shelving Deck Options
Particle board is the standard, but isn't your only option...
Purchasing Deck Material
Because of the cost of shipping, it may be more cost effective to purchase the wood decking for your shelving locally. Wood prices also vary regionally. Depending on where you are located, your pricing may be more competitive locally.
Particle Board Deck
Particle Board is by far the most common decking option for Rivet Frame Shelving. Cisco-Eagle carries 5/8" particle board in stock for all inventory sizes of shelving we sell. We do not recommend anything less sturdy. Please check the load capacity you need to ensure that your deck material matches the capacity you need.
We use
and recommend 5/8" underlayment grade particle board. It is not
recommended that
you use particle board decking less than 5/8" thick. Other grades of
particle
board may be used, but underlayment grade provides the smoothest
surface.
There are no special requirements
for cutting wood decking for these shelving
units. Simply cut the wood to the
size of the unit. All widths and depths
listed are nominal. The actual sizes of the units are width + 1/2" and
depth +
1/2". Example: If your requirement is for 48"x24" shelving, you only
need to
cut a 4'x8' sheet of wood into 4 pieces at 48"x24" for your decking. The
actual
overall size of this unit is 48 1/2" x 24" 1/2", and wood decking cut to
48"x24"
fits perfectly on the beams.
Capacities listed on our shelving areas reflect shelf frame only. Cisco-Eagle will assist you in configuring a deck material that has proper capacity for your application. Just call us.
Wire Decking
Wire decking for rivet shelving is another option for stable, secure shelves. It won't trap dirt, makes overhead sprinklers more effective and is a snap to install.
Other Options
Plywood, Oriented Strand Board, and other types of wood are also acceptable, but must be carefully considered for capacity and other issues.
