Bought 2 on gold deal

Review by M. V. Damiano, 2010-08-31

Assembly takes awhile, but once you get it up and installed it is a great storage system.


Sturdy Storage

Review by Clelia "Babbie", 2010-08-24

Even though I hired a carpenter to put up two of these overhead storage racks, anyone who can find the studs in the garage should be able to do so successfully. My garage is a standard 8' high. Even at fully extended length, the racks fit perfectly over my sedan and keep boxes out of the way.


Well Worth It

Review by sean m. smith, 2010-08-02

Just got through installing 4 of these in my garage and so far I am very satisfied. The units are more than sturdy enough to declutter my garage, and yet everything is accessible if the need arises. Installation was fairly straight forward, although there are 2 things I would recommend. 1) Get someone to help with the initial placement of the angle iron anchors. They get placed 44 inches apart, and it would be rather diffucult to exactly measure the distance on the ceiling of your garage. Much easier to have one person hold the bracket in place, and have a second person mark the appropriate holes. 2) If you don't have one, invest in a 7/16 nut driver bit for your drill. It will be worth its weight in gold and spare you a sore shoulder (much better than hand driving the hex bolts into the celiing joists with a socket wrench).
Anyway, the units prove to be very versatile as you can adjust the height and link them to each other to provide extra long storage spaces. I have several large storage bins, luggage, skis, a snowboard, and some dive gear up there and still have room for more. If your garage needs some TLC, these provide a significant amount of out of the way storage space for a decent price.


Great product

Review by Michael Barringer, 2010-08-01

Great product and price. Well constructed and sturdy. Clear instructions. I liked the way that the nuts and bolts were packaged. The bag of extra hardware came in handy when I dropped a nut while on the ladder and it bounced into a black hole.

The shelves can be a bit wobbly when just hanging in the middle of a ceiling. I installed mine next to my garage wall. I bought some right angle brackets and attached them to the wall and the back vertical support arms. It's rock steady now.

My only complaint is that the height adjustment on the vertical support arms is in 2 inch increments. I would have preferred 1 inch...but then again, that may have made them weaker.


Good Product

Review by Chris, 2010-07-14

The storage system works as advertised. Easy to install. I put two up in a couple hours by myself. I now have 400lbs of stuff I should have just thrown away neatly stored overhead in my garage.
