Your garage is usually a spot to park your car. It might have a space for your work bench. It probably has some organized storage... and there's the clutter. The clutter in the garage may be taking away from the usefulness and the enjoyment of the garage.
Install shelving, cabinets, racks, and other storage products in this versatile space. Create a zen-like space of order and serenity... or at least get rid of the stress and trouble the mess is causing. If the next task will be to organize your garage, take advantage of this information to help you reclaim your garage.
Well organized garages across the country - especially buildings without basements - have found they are able to mount a shelf to the ceiling. Instead of tripping over heaps of boxes, move them into a ceiling mounted rack.
Conquer the clutter with help from above (I mean the unused ceiling space). Install one of these unique storage solutions to your ceiling. They make it easy to organize your garage. Keep regularly used possessions on handy wall storage like shelves or cabinets, but put the seasonal and seldom used belongs up high.
A flexible design enables the shelf to be mounted with or across ceiling joists. Ceiling brackets should span multiple ceiling joists. Measurements of 4' x 8' and 4' x 4' are typical. This is common as it reaches across 12", 16", or 24" joists nicely.
You can buy smaller sized racks from some companies. Just make sure to install them securely to ceiling joists. Link multiple racks together with each other to maximize space for storage. Drop height (vertical installation measurement) vary from 18" to 46".
Feel safe by using a rack made out of high quality industrial strength construction. Most offer 14 gauge powder coated steel frame. Colors are normally white or metal gray. Sturdy decking will keep the shelf from sagging, bending, or breaking over time. The framing can be Z-channel, L-channel, or C-channel... but the best is C-channel framing.
Avoid multiple trips to the hardware store by ensuring all the mounting hardware is included. You waste time searching the hardware store for anchor bolts that will fit through the pre-cut holes on the wall mounts and are long enough to go into your ceiling joists.
You can load overhead racks with between 250 lbs and 1,000 lbs, depending on its weight rating. The installation instructions for some floor shelving say the weight should be distributed evenly. That's how many free-standing shelves pull off advertising their shelving have a nice "2000 lb" limit... although not one of the particle boards on a 4-tier shelf holds 500 lbs.
Check that customers are confident and satisfied with the durability of the unit by scanning product reviews. Before you make your final buying selection, see if the item meets the promises on the box or website. Ensure that the "exclusive" framing or decking designs haven't jeopardized the sturdiness of the rack.
