ABSTRACT:
A storage system in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention includes a support member formed with a first leg providing a track surface and a second leg extending at a generally right angle thereto and providing a guide surface. The second leg member is formed with a plurality of connecting means, one at each end of the support member, for securing the support member to adjacent support posts. The connecting means includes a hook member formed on the second leg and a tab member also formed on the second leg and forming an angle greater than 90.degree. with the portion of the second leg located between the hook member and the tab member. To assemble the storage system, the hook members are first engaged with slots in an adjacent pair of posts and the support member is then rotated so that the tab members pass into other slots in the post members. Thereafter, each of the tab members is bent toward the hook member so that it forms an angle less than 90.degree. with the portion of the second leg between the tab member and the hook member and so that it underlies the portion of the associated post between the slots whereby the support member is securely retained on the post members.
