Before You Buy an Overhead Garage Ceiling Storage System

Take advantage of that empty ceiling by adding an overhead garage storage system. This is a great way to store bulky and seasonal items. You can build your own simple ceiling storage system or buy a product made specifically for the purpose. You can find storage systems that hang from the rafters or the ceiling joists.

Individual ceiling-mounted units are available in assorted sizes and weight capacities. Most systems have an adjustable height, as the distance between the ceiling and an open garage door varies from one garage to another. It is very important that these systems be attached to joists or rafters.
