Overhead Gearloft™ Storage Rack Use Requirements

1. Intended for garage use, installed into a wood framed/traditional wood structure type dwelling.
2. To be used for storing light-weight items overhead and out of the way.
3. Recommended to be positioned 6'-8" minimum above floor (standard door opening height)

Assembling the Rack

1. Determine the ceiling locations
   

Parallel layout Perpendicular layout

The garage overhead storage rack can be positioned parallel or perpendicular to the wood ceiling joists/rafters. Determine the application required for your desired installation. If drywall is on the ceiling, use a stud finder to determine the joist/rafter locations and mark with masking tape. For application requiring installation of the brackets perpendicular to the joists/rafters, the maximum distance between them is 24". The brackets included allow for a 24" maximum span. See figure for typical ceiling layouts. Mark the location of the ceiling brackets on the joists/rafters or drywall, making sure the vertical supports can be positioned between the lag bolts used to attach the brackets. Position the center of the brackets on a 48" grid as shown in figure.

1. Attach the ceiling brackets
   

P2 F2 P5 F2 P6 P2 F2 5/16" x 3" Lag bolt P3 F2 P4
