The invention is a customizable, slidable shelving and support apparati and system for supporting, storing and accessing horticultural and agricultural specimens within growing spaces, allowing growers to utilize the maximum amount of their linear horizontal and vertical grow space and service specific areas of the garden enterprise while also allowing for maximum workspace through the use of a table and track system that provides stackable options of multiple grow layers. A method of using this slidable shelving and support apparati and system is also included.

A storage system includes at least one upright rail having a front side with notches formed along a length thereof, the at least one upright rail arranged to be attached to an upright support surface. A bracket is arranged to be attached to the at least one upright rail, the bracket including a substrate and a plurality of hooks extending therefrom which are arranged to be received in a corresponding plurality of the notches, the plurality of hooks disposed only along a first portion of the substrate and not along a second portion of the substrate to define an open region of the bracket. The open region allows for attachment of at least one additional hardware member in a shared section with the bracket along the length of the front side of the at least one upright rail.

A retail display unit includes a wall having a panel supported by first and second horizontal frame members and first and second vertical frame members. At least one slider is attached to the first vertical frame member and includes a channel. At least one mounting bracket assembly is slidably coupled to the at least one slider and includes at least one ear positioned in the channel of the at least one slider, at least one flange configured to mount to an upright of another retail display unit and a securing mechanism for tightening the at least one bracket assembly to the upright. The at least one ear is configured to slidably move inside the channel and thereby slidably adjust the position of the bracket assembly along a length of the at least one slider.

An improved display bar assembly, for the cantilever support of product dispensing trays. A rectangular display bar, is supported by spaced apart, flat mounting brackets on which mounting hooks are located in the primary plane of the bracket, and openings for reception of the display bar are offset axially inward from that plane enabling the recessed accommodation of flanged retaining plugs at opposite ends of the bar. The flanges of the retaining plugs have axially extending abutment walls which overlap outer walls of the display bar and engage offset surfaces of the bracket. The abutment walls overlap display bar walls on two opposing sides only, enabling the retaining plugs to be molded with transverse friction fins. This in turn enables the use of readily available, inexpensive grades of light gauge (e.g., 16 gauge) steel tubing of greater height than width (e.g., 11.5 inch) for the display bars.

A modular shelving system includes a wall panel with slots and shelf brackets with tabs which attach to the wall panel slots. The tabs have upwardly sloping surfaces which engage sloped surfaces on the back side of the slots. These mating surfaces better retain the tabs into the slots and provide a higher degree of strength in the tab and slot joint. This allows the shelving system to be made with smaller tabs and thinner material than previously possible; providing a more secure and visually appealing shelving system.

A modular shelf assembly includes planar panels for defining the sides of the assembly, and elongated vertical rows of slots in the panels for receiving the hooked ends of shelf supporting rods, and planar crossbars and diagonal braces with hooked ends for releasably latching the panels together in parallel, spaced apart relationship to each other.

The support bracket includes a major body with a first surface and a second surface, the first surface opposing the second surface. A horizontal shaft extends substantially across an edge of the major body, the horizontal shaft including at least an upper surface, the upper surface extending substantially horizontally away from the first surface of the major body. An engaging structure extends from the major body.
