MonsterRax 4x8 Overhead Storage Rack Frame Kit - Hanging Storage Shelves, Overhead Garage Organizers And Storage, Ceiling Shelving (Hammertone, 24"-45")

We needed storage racks to help organize our garage and allow us to park our cars. These shelves were the answer. Very satisfied with the product. We ran into a little bit of difficulty because they shipped us one of each color but we contacted the company and they worked with us to come up with an acceptable solution.The instructions were not the clearest when trying to figure out how to attach the 4x4 sections but eventually I was able to figure it out.One piece of advice, don’t install the ceiling mounting brackets too close to the wall. In my case I only left about 3/4 of an inch which made getting the nut and washer on to the bolt a challenge. I initially stressed about getting the measurements exact right down to a 1/4 of an inch and then realized after much consternation that it wasn’t necessary.Overall, the product is very sturdy and does exactly what it is supposed to do. I highly recommend these racks.

Went together pretty quickly. I read reviews complaining about the weight of the item and time it took to install: first of all it is holding hundreds of pounds above your head, do you want it to be lightweight and held together with a few bolts? No. Secondly, you assemble it one piece at a time, you probably never pick up more than a few pounds at a time so the overall weight isn’t an issue. Overall I was very surprised and pleased with the product and it’s sturdiness. I won’t be loading it with 300 pounds, but I’m sure it’ll handle it, I hung my 220+ pounds from it and it didn’t budge.

The instructions that come with the rack are not the best. I found the video helpful even though it was from a different model and once you lay things out, it's a fairly simple install. My depth barely made it in my garage as I could only use one bracket down for the 24" but it works fine. I do have concern with someone hitting their heads on the sharp edges so I wrapped them in a covering to lessen the blow. Over all this is a good sturdy rack that put side by side or separately will do the job in your garage overhead.

Such a pain in the neck to install, literally. But now there's so much more room for activities and it's only half full. Took two days of maybe 5 hours straight but it came out great and as advertised. The hard part is getting the anchor points attached the right distance and in line while securely anchoring them to the studs in the ceiling. Aside from that it's very simple and straight forward. Great product.

I needed to figure a solution for some better storage in my wood shop and after spending considerable time studying my options I went with this rack . The main factor for this choice is it is the same design as the gorilla floor rack shelves that I've had for years . This design is extremely strong and sturdy. With the proper installation I really don't think you could buy a better rack. The install needs to be carefully planned out , take your time and double check every aspect ( rafter locations or , as in my case , floor truss locations are especially important). In my unprofessional opinion , the only limitations to this rack is the strength of what you are attaching it to . I like the fact they sell just the rack , minus the wire platform ,. I like the providing your own 1/2" plywood option better .

Fast shipping and great quality product! Very well built! The instructions are clear and the installation was easy but it took me a while (4 hours) since I did it alone and took my time to make sure I get everything right. Capacity is great, I put mine almost as low as it allows, I have a standard height garage but I can still comfortably pass under it (I'm 6'9"). Feels very sturdy and although I didn't load it nearly close to its weight capacity, I feel confident in this product.

Easy to install and really sturdy

For the price it's great. Angle iron can be expensive by itself and this kit has that and the hardware. The instructions show bolts and wing nuts on part of the installation. No wing nuts are included in the kit but they provide lots of extra bolts and nuts instead. It is quite a bit of work to put together. Instructions say it takes two people but I did it by myself. I don't like that it cannot be installed flush with the wall. This is two 4x4 foot kits. When combined to make a 4x8 shelf one of the angle iron brackets has to be flipped. This creates a gap from the wall about 1.5 inches. Because of this gap it can sway until it hits the wall. I put a few pieces of 2x4" scrap to take up the space between it and the wall to stop the swaying. Anyway for the price it's great. I ordered a 2nd one.
