Leave the bottom of a bay open. Base connectors join your shelving uprights at floor level, so the unit stays stable without a bottom shelf. Choose a length from 200mm to 600mm to match your shelf depth. They're made in South Africa from heat-treated pine and are delivered free anywhere in the country.
Use the open space for a fridge, freezer or washing machine, or for chairs, bins and other bulky items.
Why customers choose it
- Open bottom section: no bottom shelf needed, so large items fit underneath.
- Keeps the unit stable: connects the uprights securely at the base.
- Matches your unit: five lengths from 200mm to 600mm, one for each shelf depth.
- Easy to fit: pre-drilled holes, and screws are included.

Frequently asked questions
Why use a base connector instead of a bottom shelf?
It keeps the bottom of the bay open, so you can fit a fridge, washing machine or bulky items underneath, while the unit stays stable.
Which size do I need?
Choose the same size as the depth of your shelves. For 400mm-deep shelves, choose the 400mm base connector.
