HyLoft 45-by-45-Inch Overhead Storage System #00540 This system is absolutly amazing, I am a 62 year old woman and I was able to put up 2 of these units all by myself...the only issues I had was trying to mark the spot for the initial nails( I could not hold up the brace and mark the place for the holes) instead I used a tape measure. I must admit that I had exposed beams therefore I did not have to look for studs. The other issue was I was not strong enough to hammer the nail in to hold the brace, but since I could see the exposed beams I did not feel that would compromise the brace , so I used the screws provided.The first unit took me about 3 hours , but the second I did in less than an hour. I am planning on putting up at least 6 more of these units. I also ordered the hooks, and all my gardening equipment, such as blower ,edger, coolers and portable chairs are all neatly hanging from the hooks. This has been the perfect answer for a very cluterd garage...Customer Review: One Of The Best Purchases I Have Made!

I initially purchased 4 Hyloft 45-by-45 Overhead Storage Systems and had them installed. What a difference it has made in my garage! I recently moved into a new house and the subdivision is part of a homeowners association. I looked into purchasing a storage building but found out that not only are they expensive, they had to be approved by a committee as to both the size and the placement of where I wanted it. After doing research, I decided to purchase Hyloft storage and it was one of the best choices I could have made.
I have been able to store all my Christmas storage tubs off the ground, suitcases, Christmas tree, and things I have been collecting for when my son moves into his own apartment, creating much more space in my garage.
I was notified by email that amazon.com had them on sell again for half off with free shipping and ordered 3 more! If you are looking for a low cost alternative for storage organization I would highly recommend the Hyloft Overhead Storage System!!!
Customer Review: Tip for installation
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent product and was quite simple to install. I have one recommendation though that can potentially save you a lot of time. Prior to drilling the holes for the lag bolts, ensure that you locate ALL of the joints you will use and mark them appropriately. Don't just assume that if the joint is X inches from the wall, then that about 45 inches down the wall the joint will also be X inches away for the other lag bolt location. It wasn't the case for me in one spot of the garage (I bought 3 of these sets), and it was really frustrating. One more thing, the heads of two "pilot" nails broke on me while trying to hammer them in straight (after the nail getting bent up on me from not hitting it straight up...I'm no expert). You aren't provided extra nails, so I recommend drilling a pretty small pilot hole for the nail to help out with this. That's all I have to share. I hope this helps you. It was a real good deal to buy this product. Would definitely buy again for my next home.Customer Review: Great Product; Great Price

Our garage is rather small and we wanted to be able to park in it again, but wanted to keep all the stuff we were storing in it! I had seen a company in a home improvement magazine that installed overhead garage storage and figured it was something I could do myself. Got on Amazon.com and presto found this product. It is awesome. Priced right; shipped quickly; easy to install; works great!
Anyone with a a ladder, a few tools and basic DIY skills can install this product. We installed two of these Hyloft overhead racks, two coordinating white Hyloft shelves, four Racor bicycle hoisting systems, a couple of storage baskets, a ball holder and and several wall hooks for hanging tools, and we took our garage back and are comfortably parking our cars inside again! It is clean and neat and organized!
Thanks to Amazon.com we got great pricing and the stuff was delivered right to our door. I saw these exact same overhead racks at Lowes for a much higher price.
Customer Review: Excellent storage solution
Summary: 5 Stars
The Hyloft storage system is very well made and engineered, strong, durable and fairly simple to install. The most important aspect of the installation is to be sure to bolt the support pieces into the ceiling joists using the lag bolts included in the box and not to hang them from the drywall or plaster with hollow wall anchors. The tools needed are a drill, small drill bit, stud finder, tape ruler, wrench or socket set and a pencil. The system is adjustable and is able to hang from cathedral ceilings. I tightened the bolts very well which prevents the Hyloft from moving or swinging when I am loading it.
The ceilings in my garage are fairly low (approx. 10 feet from the floor to the ceiling) so my Hyloft couldn't hang down too low and couldn't be installed above the garage door. However, the amount of storage space afforded by this system is still quite large and convenient. I have purchased a second Hyloft and highly recommend it.
