Tools and Hardware Reviews of HyLoft 540 45-Inch-by-45-Inch Overhead Storage System, White
Customer Review: Better than expected
Summary: 5 Stars
I want to thank whoever designed the packaging and instructions for HyLoft. This product is not complicated to put together, but there are more fasteners and parts than you might guess. Everything is well labeled. The container for the fasteners has wells for each type of part.
I dropped a nut onto the floor and couldn't find it. No problem - there is a little bag labeled 'spare parts' that contained a spare. The manual starts by showing the assembled product, then step-by-step instructions.
I was going to make a heavier-duty shelf, but I'm glad I went with two of these instead. As others have said, the shelf will wobble side-to-side a bit if you're not careful, but it is not a big deal.
Customer Review: Best storage solution ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
We now have eight of these Hyloft units in our garage/basement. We started with only two and keep adding them. They are so nice looking and keep everything up off the floor and so organized. I have things stored on them according to category, ie; electrical & plumbing parts, car parts, camping gear and ice chests yard supplies. I use a lot of the plastic storage buckets for small pieces and label them so I can read them from below. Only draw back that I have encountered is that I have to get the ladder out and climb up to get things down. Not a big deal when you consider that I have room in the garage now for the ladders to hang on the wall not to mention room for the cars! They hold a lot of weight too!Customer Review: Great Storage System
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this to be a very good upper storage system. I would advise:
1) read the instructions carefully. really only strange point is the way you mark where you will place the L-brackets on the ceiling
2) if you are going to make a continuous shelf, map out on the rafters where everything will fit togeter.
3) verify spacing on the rafters ( I have Shea home and a couple of the rafters where off by over an inch)
4) get a laser for marking the lines on the ceiling as that is an odd angle. I found that so much easier to work with.
5) work with googles before the dust gets in your eyes while drilling straight up.
This is probably the best system I have ever seen.
Customer Review: well made and very useful
Summary: 5 Stars
I installed these babies in my garage ( 10 foot ceiling) a little over 3 years ago. They have proved to be durable and cosmetically pleasing ever since. They fit right above the garage door and are hidden by it when the door is open. When the garage door is closed these shelves provide the best storage space and YOU CAN SEE WHATS ON THE SHELF!
I would recommend to all who need extra storage space in a garage. I store coolers, mower parts, camping equip, christmas lights and more up there. On the ends I hung "S" hooks to hold my extension cords up and my lightweigt ladder hangs on these as well . Make sure you install into structural rafters becuase these babies will hold a lot.
Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
Great product and price. Well constructed and sturdy. Clear instructions. I liked the way that the nuts and bolts were packaged. The bag of extra hardware came in handy when I dropped a nut while on the ladder and it bounced into a black hole.
The shelves can be a bit wobbly when just hanging in the middle of a ceiling. I installed mine next to my garage wall. I bought some right angle brackets and attached them to the wall and the back vertical support arms. It's rock steady now.
My only complaint is that the height adjustment on the vertical support arms is in 2 inch increments. I would have preferred 1 inch...but then again, that may have made them weaker.
