POEM FOR OVERHEAD GARAGE STORAGE
We’ll store things high
In the loft or rack,
And we're very, very sure
That the clutter won’t creep back.
Great garage storage will enable you to clear a lot of items off the floor. When you have accomplished this you may wish to add garage wall storage using cabinets, shelves, racks and pegboards.
Overhead Garage Storage
can be accomplished by using:
pulley systems to suspend items from the ceiling joists
overhead metal hangers
suspended shelves or racks attached to the ceiling joists
simple hooks and hammock arrangements
custom made storage loft on wooden legs.
Before attempting to introduce high garage storage, make sure that:
the strength of the joists is appropriate.
the headroom for people will be sufficient.
the headroom for the car with its luggage rack and aerial is sufficient.
the new storage area will not interfere with window, door openings or natural light.
If possible, install the overhead garage storage near a corner or edge of your garage as the walls of the garage will help to distribute the extra weight.

Garage Pulley Systems
There are single hook and double hook pulley hoists using a two rope system so one person can raise and lower the load in seconds. Pulleys come with safety release mechanisms to avoid accidental releasing.
The single garage pulley hoist has one pulley and one hook. This system has a lifting capacity of 80lbs.
The double garage pulley hoist has two pulleys and two hooks. Having two hooks allows for a greater choice of storage such as canoes, ladders or timbers. It is possible to buy custom-made storage bags to attach to the hooks thus making a useful cradle for all sorts of items. The weight load should not exceed 80lbs.
The garage pulley shelf system is a system where it is possible to raise a heavy duty steel platform up to ten feet off the floor with the use of a hand crank.

Garage Overhead Metal Hangers
U shaped metal hangers with two vertical lengths joined by a horizontal can be attached to the ceiling joists and are very useful for storing ladders, lengths of timber and garden poles.
Suspended Shelves or Racks for the Garage
These are steel platforms in various sizes attached to the joists by metal arms.
Garage Racks and Shelf Containers
To maximize storage on hangers, shelves or rack, always try to buy containers that are appropriate to the size of the items for storage.

Custom Built Garage Storage Lofts
It is possible to build a loft in your garage if its ceiling height is at least 9-10 feet. Of course it is important to get good advice about its construction and follow all safety precautions
POEM
You’re getting on fine, please don’t stop
A few more sessions and you’ve done the lot.
REMEMBER Much more space and much less mess,
Much more peace and much less stress.
