The problem with these is that the blood tends to drip down and a finger or small foot can come through the gaps ruining the clean look of your garage. Make sure and use a couple of good strong contractor bags before putting anything up there.
Seriously, these are good racks, but after going to the type that allow you to raise and lower them with a crank/drill…I’ll not go back to having to carry stuff up a ladder.
I’ve been looking for something like this since we bought our new house about 3 years ago.
I’ve seen these and other similar items show up from time to time. I really like how they look, the simplicity of installation, and the weight capacity is great… but I just can’t get past the price.
I’ve looked into building some similar shelving with wood, and the cost is so much less that I can’t bring myself to buy these. All the wood (2x4s & 3/4"x4’x8’ particle board) as well as 6 feet of angle iron (for the ceiling connection) plus misc screws and bolts would be less than $60 (prices from the HD site).
Also, I really doubt that all my holiday decorations and snowboarding gear really weighs anywhere near 600 lbs. Maybe if you throw in all the camping gear as well, but that lives in the basement storage closet already.
I guess this really isn’t much of a comment about the product… but just some random thoughts.
Anyway, these really do tempt me every time I see them though but, why can’t someone produce something similar, even with a lower weight limit, for down around $80-$100? It certainly seems like that should be possible.
Scratch and dent is really a great way to go. As for the cheaper hd variant, I think a having longer ceiling mount bars means being able to spread the weight across 4+ beams instead of 2 beams, which seems like an advantage for this one for me. That being said, you can get plenty of c-channel for the price difference.
Anyone know the full mounted height of the 12" racks? The space above my garage door is only 15" when open. It doesn’t say if the 12-21" adjustable ones are 12-21" overall or if that’s the distance between the ceiling and the deck surface. Thanks.
