Yes, that is correct. The vertical support bars would be installed on every joist, so there would be approximately 10" of overhang. If you are installing multiple units, the gap between each unit will be approximately 3". The shelves are attached to the wall by using 3" right angle brackets and bolts and screws.
It can be used with metal joists, but different materials should be used for attachment to the joists. In this case, you might want to use toggle fasteners with a 5/16" diameter. 5/16" would be the size of the bolt, which is how these are typically
It is true. Among the hangers, there has been movement. It is okay to use a 2x4 as a support as long as you use a couple of long screws to make it solid. Make sure you use several long screws to hold it down. Thank you for your help.

Home Depot is where I bought it. I got it for less money. There were 51 dollars in the total. Issuing 95 dollars It cost 96taxes). It took a week to deliver instead of two days, but that was the only downside. A big boohoo to you, Jonathan 1) I'm liking this product so far. It does sway a little when you put anything One of the hardest things is to find your studs, as others have said. * Tips You need to take notice of the direction that the outlet is located if you have a garage opener and an outlet attached to the ceiling. A further tip to keep in mind is that one bracket is secured to one joist. It is not secured to two different joists at the same time. I'm assuming the brackets are parallel to the joists, and the racks lie perpendicular to the joists. Make sure you study the picture on the box to avoid assembling the item incorrectly as someone did before (the person who broke all of his china). In addition to removing the piece that is screwed into the joist and screwing the upper extension and crossbars into the ceiling first, I also found it helpful to remove the part that is bolted to the joist. Last but not least, cable ties were used to further join the racks as well as to attach the bracket to the rack. Because it was a pain to cut out the measuring stick from the back of the box, it would be a little more convenient if it was not printed there.
On my drill, I used a stud finder, a pencil, a drill, a drill bit, and a socket with extension. You can quickly mark your drilling holes on the template that comes with the box that the kit is packed in. My garage has six of these walls, and I find it takes around 30 minutes to install them Taking no rushing, install each one in 45 minutes. To make sure my drill points were centered on the beams, I took my time on the installation
Sturdiness Despite storing my photography and video equipment, full-size DJ PA speakers, all of our camping gear (chairs, stove, foldaway kitchen, tent, etc. ) and all of our camping gear, they have not shown any signs.
It seems to have been a cost reduction measure on the manufacturer's part, but regardless, the product is effective and holds everything off the ground as it should. One of the most difficult things to do is to drill into the beams overhead. In the next step, there is the critically important matter of ensuring the spacing and squaring up of our shelves so that they lay straight across the bar. Two people can take care of the job, but I found that it is easier because it involves fewer trips up and down ladders. The balance is still swaying on the opposite side.
With this package you're getting a very secure hardware environment All of the shipping items contain bolts, washers, etc. which I suppose helps to keep the parts together. The packaging was robust and I was pleased with it. As an added bonus, a zip lock came with an extra part that fit every part of its A spare lag bolt, a spare large carriage bolt nut, one spare large carriage bolt nut, etc. , were all provided. What a cool idea! I love it! I dropped a nut as I was installing it and the nut ended up in the crack between the concrete slab and crawl space We are forever losing it. The magnet did not come up even when I swept with magnets or fished it out. My years of experience indicate that I have never experienced a product that came with spare parts of this thoughtful nature. I found the instructions to be comprehensive I would recommend it.
Over the years, I have purchased and installed 12 HyLoft ceiling storage systems. My favorite part of using them is how easy they are to use. In terms of installation and assembly, they are relatively straightforward. Though they may not be as heavy-duty as other storage boxes, they are still sturdy enough for my needs. With regards to this recent purchase, I have an issue with quality. One or two of the flat metal bars had paint that had come off like a plastic sheet. There was no adhesion between the metal and the finishing. Peeling them off the metal is easy for me. There were also missing plastic end caps on two of the squared support bars. The parts in one box were all bad enough to justify putting them all together. One of the boxes needed to be returned, but I did not want to remove everything and have to wait for a The quality should be more of a priority moving forward.
In the frame, there are 44 supports spaced at 44 mm apart. 25" in length. On the back of the box it says there is a template for this. It is 43 holes in each row of the template if you bother to measure it. 25" in length. You should be able to make it work either way, but the supports will not be plumb if you use the template, they will angle together. It may even be better to have them angled outward to increase.
