FLEXIMOUNTSPro 4x8 Overhead Garage Storage Rack,Adjustable Storage Organization System,Heavy Duty Metal Ceiling Storage Racks,800lbs Weight Capacity,Black

I can be a pretty ruthless product reviewer but these are real good. They are strong, well made, easy to install and hold a lot of stuff. I bought two and then bought a 3rd a year later. I wish I had done them all at once because once you start installing them it’s easy to keep going. Because they hang they are forgiving in terms of where the mounts go, a few of mine had to be offset slightly because of garage door opener and it’s no problem. They also include some extra hardware which saved me. The last one I installed I jumped up and hung on, that’s my usual test for mounting things since I weight 200lbs. The mount came out of the wall on one side because I missed the stud, but the whole unit didn’t come down. So there is redundancy aka it’s very safe. I did bend one mount but they provided extras so it was no problem. I would recommend getting a laser square and a good (better than mine) stud finder. Then also just buy enough to cover your ceiling and knock it all out in one day. I’ll try to remember to take a picture and post it.

Installed the 3x8 Fleximount above my garage—definitely a solid and secure system once it’s up, but getting there was a bit of a struggle doing it solo. Finding the studs was the hardest part, and keeping everything level took a lot of double-checking. If you’re doing this yourself, take your time with measurements and prep—those steps matter more than you think.One heads-up: I mounted this over my garage door and didn’t realize the edge of the door would hit the bottom of the Fleximount platform, even at the lowest height setting. That was frustrating and took some rework.Took me about 4-5 hours start to finish. Looking back, I’d gladly pay extra to have it professionally installed, but I’ll admit—it was satisfying to get it done myself. Overall, it’s a great product and feels very sturdy. Just plan ahead.

This rack is very solid and nice.I had to install mine with one side in the loadbearing joist/wall and the other side mounted into the ceiling of my garage. Was a little tricky finding a perfect fit, but it worked out after all. It took some time to get all worked out for my layout with my ceiling in my garage with a couple of extra 2x4s needed to make it work with the rack frame dimensions, but once it was all situated, feels super solid...this is well manufactured, all hardware ended up fitting together...only sometimes a little extra adjusting/forcing a piece or two into place, such as screw threads starting. You may need to set a screw on an angle to start, and once it gets going in, the pieces basically force each other into place. There were times I wasn't sure a screw would go or not, but you've got to try and torque at a small angle to start some.I would definitely buy another one. I may have room for a 3x6 rack in another area of my somewhat limited space of garage, and I would certainly feel confident in this product for it.

This was installed above the garage door. The ceiling joists run across the width of the shelf (not down the length) so it was straighforward to install. However, the vertical supports for the storage rack are flimsy enough that at least one of the verticals needs to be bolted against a wall or the shelf will wobble significantly when you load it, because the vertical supports will flex. This shelf is not super heavy duty, but it looks adequate for light loads up to 600 pounds as rated.I bought the 3 x 8 shelf and, to help with spacing the verticals, I got a 3, 4, and an 8 foot length of angle iron from the hardware store (to be returned now that the installation is done).The dimensions in the instructions are inaccurate. It would be extremely helpful if the manufacturer listed the center to center screw hole spacing from one ceiling bracket to the other parallel ceiling bracket.To calculate the screw hole spacing to lay out the holes in your ceiling, you are on your own. There is no information in the installation manual, and it is best for you to calculate the spacing yourself, because your shelf may be different than mine.The hardware is metric. M8, 13mm socket, 5mm hex wrench. Use your own tools. An electric screw gun or drill is almost essential. The toolss included in the box are barely adequate. Hope it goes easy.

These worked great! I ordered the 3x8 version to go above my garage door. The only issue I had is they hung to low so I had to modify the hanging brackets by trimming them down to suck the racks up a few inches so my garage door would clear when opening and closing. I am very happy with these racks!
