Hi there a somewhat silly question ... I am taking delivery of some S/hand RapidRacking shelving shortly. I have a bit of this already and although it's decent quality stuff I found it a pig to assemble. I actually put one shelf at the wrong height and found it more trouble than it was worth to bash it out and re-fix it.
So - has anyone any tips on the assembly or (more especially) this disassembly of the stuff, or is it just a case of brute force & ignorance?
Cheers jon N
I use a large rubber mallet for both assembly and disassembly.

I've not really had any issues.
Some pieces are harder than others to knock out again, but so long as you hold the rest in place while you bash it's been fine - a single sharp bash at end end will knock a bracket out. Perhaps it depends on how much brute force is used to put it together, but then I do tend to whack it together hard as well!
The other thing to remember is to put the shelving (i.e. the board) in or to remove it at the appropriate time - i.e. when you actually have sufficient access rather than to force it when it's awkward.
that might do it,just take an awful long time,(through corrosion)
Perhaps I was unlucky, in that my first set of shelving had a large number of shelves with little space in-between them. That made it very difficult to swing the hammer to disengage the shelves.
Yes, I encountered this issue - thanks for the reminder!

Ah, maybe that's my problem - I was using the mallet that came with the Big Dug shelving ;-/

Hi All a followup: shelving just delivered and disassembled *much* easier than last time I tried. Either the brackets hadn't been fully bashed into place originally, or being able to get a larger swing on the mallet made things easier than I'd expected. Either way, I am pleased ;-)
