Abstract: A removable wire backstop apparatus is provided for use with an industrial wire decking. The wire backstop apparatus includes a rear wall structure and a plurality of dog-legged support members extending from the rear wall structure for removable engagement with the wire decking. The wire backstop apparatus can be installed in an interlocking engagement with conventional wire decking panels without the need for any tools. It can be quickly removed and reinstalled in any desired location. One manner of installation provides that the wire backstop apparatus extend laterally beyond a rear edge of the wire deck panel so as to provide a deck extension.
