| I wish I would have thought of this | |
| This is the BEST overhead storage system I have ever seen. I feel like building a second large garage just to install about 12 of these.
I have alway felt frustrated about all that wasted space above my garage doors and now I have something to put there (along with all of my winter sports products) and still have room for the tandem cayak I want to buy!!!! This was the easiest one man overhead project I have ever taken on. Find the Stud, Drive a nail and then screw away. In less than an hour I was piling my stuff on this rack and who cares if I am a 1/2 inch off, this system forgives those mistakes that would have created multiple holes in the ceiling before. If you have a garage and to much junk, this system is for you - buy 4 or 5 of these (but wait until I buy my stock in this company). | |
| Hyloft storage unit--right price, easy to install | |
| This is an easy unit to install, even if you are doing it on your own. I know there are other women out there who are managing the household...and everything else...don't worry! The first one took me 3 hrs, the second went up within an hour. I was able to do it on my own without a problem. If you are installing a second unit on the same ceiling joist (up to two allowed) both units can share an "L" bracket, saving you time. I didn't realize this in time. The hardware comes in a nice, labeled packaged (not all thrown in one bag). And, there is a baggie containing spare hardware... comes in handy if you are a klutz like me and drop things from the top of the ladder. Also, this is a forgiving unit. You will be good to go even if you didn't install each "arm" perfectly square. The easy installation, forgiving nature and price make this the perfect solution. Don't forget the safety glasses, you'll need them. The horizontal racks come in three pieces. Makes it easy to handle and lift. I think I will also zip-tie the horizontal racks together. Good luck. | |
| Best purchase made for storage! | |
| Bought mine back in 2003 when we moved into our new house. Of course, there's NO place to store anything in the house, so had to find some way to make room. Noticed lots of room in the garage, especially over garage door (11 ft ceilings). Bought 1 of the 4'x4'. Fits with no touching, or any other problems (well, except finding studs to mount to the ceiling)! Bought 2 more and now I have to room I needed for boxes and decorations and baby stuff and whatever else I need to put away! Simple, easy to install by yourself, and relatively cheap now (I paid $79.95 for mine, looks like they lowered the price by $20)! |
