How to make safe and stable Roomscapes connections
Panels and Arches
Never connect more than 2 panels in a row without stabilising them
in one of the following ways:
■
Panels must always be attached at both ends.
(See illustrations above.)
■
Never exceed 122 cm in height.
■
Never end a straight line of panels with a single Corner shelf.
■
A 61 or 81 cm high Corner shelf connected to a Teacher arch or
Roomscapes entry must also connect to another panel, shelf, or
wall adapter.
■
DO NOT support 122 cm or 102 cm high panels (the tallest) with
41cm high shelves (the lowest).
■
A 41cm shelf with a panel stacked on top must have a pair of
Wings attached to the back, or be supported by other shelves or
panels.
■
Do not use two corner shelves to stabilise a straight line of panels
unless they protrude in opposite directions.
Use a pair of Wings
Create a 45º or 90º angle in the
line of panels.
Add a shelf.
Attach to a wall
Posts
If you place panels on top of shelves or other panels to make a
higher divider, the combined height should not exceed 122 cm.

Always match post height to the highest piece it connects.
Roomscapes Gates
*Exception: the Roomscapes gate and compact gate may connect in
a straight line with a panel if a pair of Wings is added to the hinge
side.
**Exception: the Roomscapes gate and compact gate may connect
in a straight line with a 63 cm shelf, but only if the other side is
connected to a 94 cm shelf (or longer), to a wall, or to angled
panels.
Supporting posts must be at least 81 cm high.
63 cm long shelves must connect at a 45° or 90° angle to
the Gate threshold.**
Gates need extra support to be stable and safe.
Attached shelves or panels must be at least 61 cm high.
61 cm high

Panels must connect at a 45° or 90° angle to the Gate threshold.*

Along with the ability to define your own space comes the responsibility to set up safe configurations. Because of the almost limitless options
of the Roomscapes system, common sense is always needed to ensure that your setup is safe. Here are some essential guidelines to follow
when connecting your Roomscapes items. Please follow them, as well as any warnings or cautions for specific items throughout this guide.
