Flexi Storage - single bracket system:
I might be doing something wrongly, but it seems to me that the shelf cannot sit flush on the single S-Track brackets? Either the board is too wide or the S-Track bracket is not wide enough.
What can I do?
Hello @CT13
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us.
I apologise for the issues you've experienced. Please allow me to make an inquiry with my teammate and Flexi Storage to find out if any progress has been made in regards to the shelves. We'll need to find out if the proper sized shelves are available at the store. If they are, we'll be more than happy to exchange the shelves.
Thank you for your patience.

Hi @CT13,
I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with your shelf installation.
Flexistorage has previously recommended inserting the front of the shelf first and then lowering the back in. They've found that putting the back in first and then lowering the front causes the tongue on the front end of the bracket arm to come into contact with the front edge of the shelf.
There are a couple of options if that doesn't work. The first would be that you contact the technical team at Flexi-Storage, who are happy to guide you through the installation process. Alternatively, I recommend discussing the issues with the store manager at the location where you purchased the shelving. I'm sure they will do their best to help resolve the situation.

id just like to return the 3 x 1200 x 300 shelves and swap them for 1200 x 290 shelves which assume you will need to custom make
As you can see they don't fit and i will only return it all if you want to send someone to repair the wall

Hello @CT13
If you've given the recommended installation instructions a go and are still not successful, I suggest giving the store manager at Edwardstown a call to discuss the issue with the shelves. I'm sure they will do their best to find a resolution.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

If they're melamine coated wood - clamp them into position?
The fit seems very close...
With a panel saw cut a taper in a small block of wood and fit into position under the shelf at this end.
Another block above.
Then squeeze with a clamp.
That steel 'lip' will bite into the melomine and make a secure grip - better than being loose on the shelf.
Just an overcast Saturday thought.
Cheers.
yes I have tried their recommendation
As you can see it does not help
You push or hit that down with a rubber mallet it damages the shelf and flies off the wall
As per other people's concerns and pictures
It seems poor quality product and reasonable solution is to just provide shelves slightly less depth that will fit, this is what I have been asking for assistance with
