Tools and Hardware Reviews of HyLoft 540 45-Inch-by-45-Inch Overhead Storage System, White
Customer Review: Great product!
Summary: 5 Stars
We liked this product so much we bought 12! We installed 8 where we have fairly high ceilings in the garage and then 4 in the space right above where the garage door opens to store smaller things (lumber and smaller boxes).
Fairly easy to install, although not trivial and box is quite heavy. Not overly rigid and they do sway a bit if you push them, but they work really well and have given us A LOT of extra storage space where we used to just have dead space. They also aren't the prettiest things in the world so I doubt we'd put them anywhere besides the garage.
But they work great and hold lots of weight. Highly recommended.
And Amazon's free shipping (and low cost $59.99) makes them a great value. Delivery is particularly nice since they they're so heavy.
Customer Review: Great storage ideas!
Summary: 5 Stars
Buy this unit and you won't regret it. I've managed to make my garage look AMAZINGLY clean and uncluttered now.
Make sure your ceiling load will support it (most will) and that you find the joint running directions before installing. Also, don't push the limit of height before it hits the garage door opener. Many door openers have a lot of torque and will damage the garage door as well as the hangers. I bought 4 units, installed them quickly and easily. Make sure you sink BOTH screws into the joists or you could eventually have things falling onto your cars one day/night.
Powder coated white metal is of good quality. Looks like stainless steel bolts, or at least nickel plated.
You can store a lot on these things, and some pretty heavy ones even...
Customer Review: Hyloft Storage System
Summary: 5 Stars
Having recently moved from a NY Home (with a shed and basement) to Texas (where basement is spelled G A R A G E) this system wasn't just a nice thing to have it was a requirement. In fact I now own 4 systems. You may wish to check other reviews for additional instructions, but basically if you can find the studs these systems install rather quickly. BTW, I own one of those ladders that change into scaffolding . . that made the job tons easier, you might think of borrowing one if you don't own one. The systems arrived through AMAZON quickly and the instructions were easy to follow. MUST HAVE A STUD FINDER. The job would have been nearly impossible without one. They are worth every penny. I've got my basement\garage back and am enjoying the great country\state of Texas!!Customer Review: Easy to install and strong
Summary: 5 Stars
Hi.
I'd read some of the other reviews before buying, so I thought installation would be a hassle. The directions were good, and I had THREE of them installed in thirty-minutes. The only thing that was [somewhat] tricky was finding the rafter beams. That's not the system's fault, it just is what it is. Once located, it went up in a snap. Everything you needed was in the package, and the instructions were logical.
You need a hammer, drill with a few regular bits, and a couple of wrenches. Easy.
Once installed, it seemed plenty strong to hold normal junk--lots of it. I wouldn't store a pallet of bricks or anything, but boxes of clothing, some books, kitchen gear, sporting goods--no problem.
Customer Review: A practical storage solution when there is no basement
Summary: 5 Stars
I dislike basements...too musty and dirty. So I bought a house with no basement - hence, less storage. But the garage has a high ceiling. Aha! I discovered Hyloft. I bought several of them and installed them - with the help of my son. He is 30, I am 66. He did most of the physical work, I supervised! The difficult part for us was finding the studs. The garage has a painted drywall ceiling with no access to the attic, so we didn't know if the studs ran north-south or east-west. Also, we didn't know how far apart they were. Many holes later we found out they ran north-south and were 24' apart. Once we discovered the studs, we finished the job quickly and patched the ceiling. I added a lot of storage for a low cost.
