Baskets are attached to the slides with loop clamps, bought the clamps at McMaster Carr, think the size was 3/16". They just clamp around the wire. Lowes or Home Depot probably has them. Then I had to make a latch to hold the baskets from sliding out when traveling. This setup has worked very good for us. They are mounted under the rear bed that stays made up, pull out for easy access for clothing that we keep in them.

Thanks for the reply. I've completely gutted my Surfside and I'm rebuilding all of the furniture modules from scratch, so I've got a good bit of space under my new full-time bed to go this route. Are the slides fairly stable in this orientation as far as being able to load the baskets and not worry about the amount of weight/stress put on them when in the "out" position?

Ben; we have loaded the baskets full of clothes with no problem. The slides are screwed to a piece of plywood which is then screwed to the floor. This was the simplest way I could come up with. You may be able to take this idea and modify it into a better configuration.
