The frame attachment system is a unitary-bodied frame attachment member being selectively and removably attachable to a vertical column member for attaching shelving brackets, and attachments of the like. The frame attachment system essentially includes three portions: a bracing portion, a grasping portion, and a slot portion. The grasping portion is substantially u-shaped for attachment around the vertical column member with the bracing portion being in perpendicular opposition to the grasping portion. The slot portion is proximate the bracing portion and includes a plurality of slots capable of receiving shelving brackets such that the insertion of a shelving bracket results in the bracket flushly resting against the vertical column member and thus limiting movement of the frame attachment member. Various fasteners, such as a magnet, can be fixed to the inner surface of the grasping portion to better facilitate attachment of the grasping portion to the vertical column member prior to receipt of the shelving bracket.

A method of installing a frame attachment system comprising the steps of: aligning a u-shaped frame attachment member defining an opening, such that the opening of the frame attachment member is in proximate alignment with a vertical support member, said vertical support member including a plurality of vertical, outwardly facing surfaces; removably securing the frame attachment member to the vertical support member such that the frame attachment member substantially wraps around the vertical support member; and inserting a hooked shelf bracket into at least two slots on the frame attachment member such that an inserted end of the hooked shelf bracket stabilizes the securement of the frame attachment member against the vertical support member. 7. A method of installing a frame attachment apparatus to a vertical support member having a plurality of outwardly directed faces, the method comprising the steps of: aligning a frame attachment apparatus having at least two vertical portions with at least two of the plurality of outwardly directed faces of the vertical support member, wherein at least one of the vertical portions includes a plurality of vertically spaced slots; removably securing the frame attachment apparatus to the vertical support member such that at least one of the vertical portions of the frame attachment apparatus substantially confronts the vertical support member; and inserting a hooked bracket into at least one of the slots of the frame attachment apparatus such that an inserted end of the hooked bracket stabilizes the frame attachment apparatus against the vertical support member.
