How it works

Locate joists & plan layout

We use a stud finder and probe the ceiling to confirm joist location and confirm the rack will clear your garage door opener rail.

Mount the ceiling brackets

We drill into the center of each joist and attach the drop rods and mounting hardware with the correct fasteners for your ceiling material.

Build & test the rack

We assemble the shelf platform, level it, torque all connections, and do a firm load test before stacking your bins up there.

Garage Storage Rack Installation — FAQ

How much weight can overhead garage racks hold?

Most residential racks are rated for 250 to 600 pounds depending on the model. We anchor into joists at the manufacturer-specified spacing to reach that rating safely.
