Safety
Different wall materials require different types of fixing devices. Use fixing
devices (sold separately) suitable for the walls in your home. If you have any
doubts regarding what kind of walls you have in your home, how much load they
can carry or how to securely fix BOAXEL onto your walls you must contact a
specialised local dealer for advice.

How to build
Choose your solution
We have a wide range of BOAXEL combinations to choose from which you can find
in the store or on our website at www.IKEA. com. If you don’t find a pre-
designed solution that you like, you can create the perfect combination that
suits your needs and taste on your own. Begin by looking through the ready-
made combinations on the web and choose one that inspires you. You can then
use our planning tool to design your own unique combination. There are 4 steps
to follow:
- Before you start to plan your new storage solution, find out what space you have to work with. Sketch out your working space, taking measurements from the floor to the ceiling and between the walls. Make a note of any features such as windows or doors that might affect the size of your storage solution, take detailed measurements and make room for opening and closing doors.
- Choose the amount of mounting rails and wall uprights that you need based on your planned combination.
- Choose interiors. Think through your day-to-day needs and what you need to store. Once you have decided on the interiors.
- Choose the amount of brackets needed in order to install your chosen interiors. Complete your storage solution with your choice of boxes and inserts from our extensive range of interior accessories.
Tip!
If you choose a solution with 1 section, you need 2 brackets per interior
part. In a solution with 2 sections, you only need 3 brackets, 1 at each end
and 1 in the middle. And in a solution with 3 sections you need 4 brackets.
For example : in the image above you can see that for 1 shelf you need 2 brackets, for 2 shelvezzzzs you need 3 brackets and for 3 shelfs you need 4 brackets.
How to build
How to calculate the width of a tailor-made solution?
When calculating the width of your BOAXEL solution you need to take the mounting rail measurements in to consideration. The mounting rail comes in the sizes of 62,4 cm, 82,4 cm and 182,4 cm, ex 82,4 + 82,4 +82,4 = 247,2 cm. The mounting rail could be cut to exact widths if needed. If you choose not to use the mounting rail you need to add the width of the shelves or the other interiors and then add 1 cm on each end of the solution. This is to cater for the outside ends of the wall uprights, ex 1 + 80 + 80 + 80 + 1 = 242 cm.
Width of interiors:
All interiors come in two widths, 60 cm and 80 cm. (See the interiors chapter
for the full list of functions). The adjustable clothes rail and shelf can be
adjusted between 20-30 cm.
Tip!
When using a mounting rail, place an interior, such as a shelf, at the top and
bottom of the wall uprights before attaching it to the wall. This will help
you find the right distance between the uprights. Use a spirit level for the
final check that every-thing is straight before attaching them to the wall.
Tip!
If you plan to have a mesh basket at the bottom of your solution, we recommend
that you place the wall uprights 15 cm from the floor. This is to secure the
mesh basket can be pulled out without touching the floor. It also helps you to
utilise the full height of the wall in the best possible way.
IMPORTANT!
When installing a wall mounted BOAXEL solution, follow the assembly
instructions that come with the wall uprights to ensure you get the correct
distance between drilling holes.
