SafeRacks Overhead Garage Storage Rack - Heavy Duty Racks for Garage with 400 lb Capacity, Easy Garage Shelving, Adjustable Storage Rack, Ceiling Mount Storage Shelves 3x6 White (18"-33")

This is a pretty good product. I think the directions could be written better and written specific to the product size ordered. I was able to figure it out after some trial and error.

i bought both the SafeRacks 2'x6' (qty 1) and 3'x6' (qty 3) as well as the Overhead GearLoft 2'x4' (qty 4). I bought both brands because neither brand had all three sizes, and i needed all three. I am very happy with both. Overall, I like the Gearloft better -- it is easier to assemble, has a tighter "grid" on the base, and the grid is permanently affixed to the base, whereas the SafeRacks grid floats/slides on the base horizontally. I feel like the gearloft is a bit sturdier as well.That said, the SafeRacks is no slouch, and i dont regret the purchase in the least. The minimum height from ceiling to the bottom of the base (i.e., if you only use one vertical support per corner, instead of two bolted together) is exactly 24.5" Below two of these racks, I have some pegboard on the wall at exactly 2' below ceiling, and these racks covered the top 1/2" of the pegboard, which works out fine. The other racks I have extended to about 33" (ceiling to bottom of base) as I have more room in that area.First pic shows one of the corners of the 2'x6', next pic shows how the SafeRacks vertical supports are bolted in order to extend the height (the GearLoft is in the background here). The third pic shows the bottom grid as well as some deck hooks (purchased separately and much cheaper from SafeRacks' website). The fourth pic shows SafeRacks (left) and GearLoft side by side. The fifth pic shows the GearLoft vertical support extender mechanism -- much easier than the SafeRacks, which have to be bolted -- but still very sturdy -- the more weight on the rack, the more solid the connection between the two supports. The last pic is a view of the GearLoft base/grid which is fixed. In the seventh pic, you can see I have hung my (very heavy) wheel barrow from the corner with a utility hook (also purchased separately in the same hook accessory package direct from SafeRacks).I weight 200lb. and can put my whole weight on any corner of any of these racks and it is solid. Just make sure you anchor into a joist on both ends of angle bracket, with vertical support in between the two and you'll be fine. Actually on two of them, i actually anchored two of the GearLoft horizontally into a glue-lam beam than juts down 4" below the ceiling height (eighth pic). That worked great as well. In retrospect, i could have just anchored directly into the beam without the top angle bracket.Bottom line, buy either of these manufacturer's product with confidence. They are both awesome. No regrets with either.Update: I subsequently bought MonsterRax 6x3 because these were out of stock. MonsterRax appears to be the identical product as SafeRacks.

It took me the better part of an afternoon to install this with an impact drill, but it's well worth the results. I can fit 8 of those Costco plastic bins on the six foot model with room to spare.You're going to want to buy 8 Bungie cords for this, 2 deep on each side in case of earthquake or accidentally pushing something off while pushing something in.They also sell an accessory kit that works with this so you can hang things underneath and off to the sides.This thing freed up a lot of space in my garage and doesn't interfere with my vehicles even though my garage ceilings are only right feet high.I'd recommend having a helper to install this and a firm rubber mallet to hammer everything into place firmly.

so, to be honest, its not up yet. However, i did install a 3'x8' model with no issues, and like it a lot. i bought this one to be installed next to the 3x8, however, i do not have a full 72" available. i was hoping it was designed like the 8' model, where the 8' section is actually 2 shorter pieces that lock together. this one is made up of actual 6' pieces. so... i might return it.

This is fabulous for freeing up floor space; it holds a lot of boxes! I would say the biggest challenge is finding the ceiling studs and bolting everything in place. It also is a good idea to use a bracket between the shelf and the wall, to keep it steady when moving the boxes around. Overall, very pleased with the purchase.

The racks are very sturdy and well made. Heavy duty The racks enabled us to neatly store containers we had at a storage rental place. Surprising how much you can store on these racks. High garage ceilings helps. There are different width sizes. The height is also adjustable. I was concerned about the overhang but they where not as unsightly I thought they would be. You need to be pretty handy hitting the studs and spacing if installing yourself. The manufacturer sent a phone number for installation if wanted. Glad I used their installer. Took him about 4 hours $300 to install 12 feet of racks. I am somewhat handy but I suspect it would have been 8 hours for me, up and down ladder, finding and missing studs, heavy duty bolts, spacing, trial and error. Very happy with this product

Installed on 10ft ceiling in garage. Love that it’s hidden when the garage door is opened. Very sturdy product.

This was a fantastic purchase. We installed our fi at one within a couple of hours and the second one took less time. Really love how sturdy these are and the amount of overhead storage they provide!Highly recommended!
