Whether you are building a racking system for your home or office, here are some useful installation tips that you should keep in mind to help your run your project smoothly.
1. Before you start, take an inventory of your materials and equipment to be used. Don’t focus only on the equipment that you will be mounting right now. Instead, take into consideration any components that you may decide to add in the future, and make sure to provide space allowances for them.
2. Consult with a professional. If this is the first time that you will install racking systems, do not hesitate to get advice from a carpenter, a contractor, or an electrician.
3. Make sure that you have complete and appropriate tools on hand. It is better that you collect all the tools that you will need ahead of time, instead of getting them one by one as you need them. A good base of tools to start with should include a tape measure, a pencil, a hammer, a flashlight, both Phillips and flat-head screwdrivers, and a level.
4. Plan ahead and map things out in advance. Drawing a diagram of how your rack system will look like should be a good start.
5. Get a friend or family member involved in the project. Having another person around to help you with heavy lifting and other tasks is always a good idea.
6. Perform your racking system project in a cool, dry place. Networking and home theater components can generate a lot of heat, and it’s important for your equipment to continuously be kept cool by rack-mount fans, vented enclosure panels or ventilation units.
7. Do not forget to measure. Using the tape measure, measure appropriately and make sure that you allow enough room for your equipment before you bolt in all of the shelves.
8. Clean up. Once the installation is done and mounted in place, clean up and store away your tools. You may be able to use them on your next racking system project.
If all else fails, contact rack system manufacturers and seek for their assistance. For more information about racking systems, visit http://msshouston.com/pipe-racks.html.
