Modular Under-Shelf Storage Rail System

The ultimate custom storage solution for IKEA Trofast Bins.

Stop letting the space under your shelves go to waste. Our precision-engineered rail system allows you to slide IKEA Trofast bins (plastic or mesh) under any flat surface—perfect for desks, craft rooms, workshops, or pantry organization.

📏 Ordering Guide: How many do I need?

To maximize space, use Single Rails for the outer ends and Double Rails as "shared" supports between two bins.

• 1 Basket: 2 Singles
• 2 Baskets: 2 Singles + 1 Double
• 3 Baskets: 2 Singles + 2 Doubles
• 4 Baskets: 2 Singles + 3 Doubles

🔧 Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Phase 1: Preparation & Marking

  1. Dry Fit: Slide a rail onto each side of your IKEA Trofast bin. Note that the bin should slide smoothly but without excessive side-to-side play.
  2. Positioning: Hold the bin (with rails attached) against the underside of your shelf. Use a spirit level to ensure the bin will sit flush with the shelf edge.
  3. Trace: Use a sharp pencil to trace the outer edge of the rails and mark the center of each screw hole directly onto the shelf.

Phase 2: Mounting

Choose your method based on your surface type:

Option A: Permanent Screw Mount (Heavy Duty)
  • Use a drill bit slightly smaller than your screws to create pilot holes. Do not drill deeper than 3/4 the thickness of your shelf.
  • Mount the first "Single" rail. Then, using a bin as a spacer, align the second rail (Single or Double) and screw it into place.
  • Do not over-tighten; snug is enough to keep the rail secure without cracking the plastic.
Option B: 3M VHB Tape (No-Drill/Renters)
  • Degrease: Clean the shelf and the top of the rails with Isopropyl Alcohol. Adhesive will fail if there is any dust or oil.
  • Apply tape to the rail, peel the backing, and press firmly against your pencil marks.
  • IMPORTANT: Allow the adhesive to cure for 24 hours before adding any weight.
💡 Pro-Tips for a Perfect Fit:
  • If using mesh metal bins, leave an extra 1-2mm of "breathing room" between rails, as metal bins can vary slightly in width.
  • For long-term durability in workshops, we recommend using a drop of wood glue along the top of the rail in addition to screws.

Specifications: High-density 3D-printed polymer. Integrated countersunk screw holes. Compatible with all IKEA Trofast series bins.

Note: Listing is for rails only. Bins, screws, and tape are not included. Minor layer lines are a natural part of the 3D printing process and do not affect strength.
