Stacking pet food pod dispenser for Sheba-Style single-serving pet food containers! This design enables you to quickly load and dispense individual pods for your pet's meal, saving shelf real-estate and allowing for easy scalability when additional capacity is desired! DESCRIPTION: Each stack (A) is designed to contain a total of six (6) individual meal Pods with each additional stack (B) adding an extra six to your maximum Pod capacity. Below are the required combinations based on the total Pods purchased. 6 Pods: Stack A 00 12 Pods: 1X Stack A00, 1X Stack B00 18 Pods: 1X Stack A00, 2X Stack B00 24 Pods: 1X Stack A00, 3X Stack B00 INSTALLATION: Hardware: #6 Screws and compatible Drywall Anchors. Double-sided adhesive tape can be used however is not recommended. Tools: Phillips Head Screwdriver; Drill w/ #6 Anchor compatible drill bit. Begin by aligning and leveling Stack A00 in the desired location and orientation. Mark the screw/anchor location by tracing the through-hole slots located on the rear wall of Stack A00. Remove the Stack and install two Drywall Anchors (or equivalent). Once complete, mount Stack A00 via two #6 screws and hand-tighten. All Stacks feature mounting "slots" to adjust and level the Stack after installation. This configuration allows for a maximum of six total Pods to be inserted. To increase Pod capacity: Print and mount layers of Stack B00 onto Stack A00 to reach desired Pod capacity. It is advised to use an additional Drywall Anchor (or equivalent) for the top-most mounting hole of the top-most Stack, and/or every other Stack, depending on the total count. As detailed in the installation of Stack A00, initially fit each Stack B00 and trace the desired wall location for Anchor installation. Once the hole is drilled and Anchor installed, re-insert each Stack B00 and hand-tighten the #6 screws to retain the assembly. The final assy can be re-adjusted by shifted the stack(s) along the slotted mounting holes. Once installed, load your Pods into the completed Stack and dispense by drawing the bottom-most Pod. The remaining Pod stack will drop down to present the next available Pod for dispensing!
