Great idea about the bungee cord as a backup. Also, really appreciated the closing part where you show the garage door being operated. I was convinced you weren't going to do that, and was happy to be proven wrong. Thanks for posting. Subscribed!

Thanks for sharing the information. Advice for who wants to buy a rack: I made a mistake when I purchased an 8' x 3' and realized that the studs in my house are 2 feet apart and I did not know before I got the rack. It was not possible to mount the 3 feet width rack, returned it, and got the 8'x4'. (None of the instruction videos on youtube mention this issue with 3 feet wide rack)

Every picture and video I see of these mounts, the roof bars that attach to the studs, run parallel to the base. Yours seem to be mounted perpendicular to the base. Did you have to modify your set up to install them like that?

@nevian66 6 жыл бұрын

i noticed you bolted the rack along the same joist as the garagae door rail vertical bars - have you noticed any issues with having done that? i would think that when the garage door is up that its weight is added on top of your racks' weight on the same joist?

something to help as well, is replace the garage door opener with the Liftmaster 8500. It mounts on the side of the garage door, so you have a ton more celing space

@hjc4604 5 жыл бұрын

Do you have trusses or actual joists. I don't know that I would add this to a trussed roof as they are usually not engineered to support extra weight.

You're correct. Trusses are engineered for load above, not below.

Did you look into whether these fleximounts void the warranty on your ceiling joists? I-Beam construction is not intended to carry any load underneath, as I understand.

I am not an expert but the same basic tech is what is holding up his garage door which is also attached to the joists.
