I am wishing to purchase a small Vitsoe system, literally 2 E-Tracks with a desk and one shelf.
The issue I have is that the wall is uneven, so half way up the length of the E-track the wall dips in, by 1cm. I know there are X-Posts but I really want to just keep it to the E-tracks.
I am unsure how the tracks are attached to the wall ie. Is it just a series of screws up the track eg 6 or just the top and bottom.
I have considered scribing a piece of wood and putting it in the dip.
Has anyone else here had this issue?
Any advice welcome.
Thanks,
C

The tracks take a series of screws, placed approx 25cm apart (from memory- I don't have one in front of me). As for whether screwing the e-profile track to your uneven wall will work out, I can't say. However, I can tell you that I've successfully attached a track to an uneven wall. I didn't realise it was uneven until I attached the track; I just assumed it was vertical but found it bulged slightly. The track bent enough to accommodate this (it wasn't a huge bulge, as I said I hadn't noticed it at first), and attaching the shelves subsequently was not a problem. It might be worth trying it first, and if it doesn't work them move onto the x-profile plus e-track solution. In either case, Vitsoe will give clear and impartial advice for free!
To see how you fare.
Indeed. If the dip is in the middle of the run of the track member, and the track can be secured to the wall both above and below the dip, you're home free. Simply omit the screws from that portion of the wall that is depressed. Two screws into the wall above, and two below, will adequately secure the track to the wall, assuming you are hitting a stud or have found a good hollow-wall fastener.
