HyLoft 48-Inch Overhead Storage System #00310

by HyLoft

Product Description

Amazon.com

The HyLoft overhead storage system is a clever, clever concept, executed neatly. Just one 4-by-4-foot unit give you 35 cubic feet of storage that space previously wasn't there. Imagine installing these on either side of the garage door opener: you'll create storage space out of nothing. Multiple units can be aligned to fit nearly any space, in a L-shape or T-shape, for whatever available ceiling space you have, and each unit holds up to 250 pounds. The open grate design allows you to see what’s stored above--a feature we really like. The finish is clean-looking and super durable and comes with a lifetime warranty. Don’t be intimidated by the thought of installation, either--only the most basic skills are needed. Tools required are standard household fare: hammer, adjustable wrench, stud finder, and drill. For innovation, ease of installation, and good old American ingenuity, we give this baby five stars.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid space-saving overhead storage system, July 7, 2003

First of all, the picture is misleading. There are only two horizontal bars, not four as shown, that hold up the coated metal grids. If installed properly (screwed onto the ceiling rafters), the system is very strong and sturdy. It took me about half hour to install each of the three I put up in my garage. You can adjust the height of the storage unit from about 18" to 26". Nice system, maybe a little pricey.

I have a garage with a high ceiling and room for two cars, but little else. Storage space is a premium. I bought two of these HyLoft systems, installed them (5 hours it took), and now wish I'd have had them years ago.

The worst part for me was finding studs. I'm too cheap to buy a stud finder, don't really need one. So finding the middle of the studs was the most time-consuming part of the installation. A hassle.

There is a video that comes with these units, and you can pretty much know what to do after watching it.

If you think it will only take two hours to install, expect it to take longer than that, especially if you don't do this sort of thing for a living. But it's worth the time investment.

They look very neat once completed, and when my garage door is open, they even look nice from the street, looking in. They're the best thing to come along since garage door openers.

This review is from: HyLoft 48-Inch Overhead Storage System #00310 (Tools & Home Improvement)

Just installed 8 units. Need some tools, and definitely a stud finder. But they are great. Only probelm I had was the plastic end pieces for the lower support rods. They would not stay in place. Gives a great video on how to install. Amazon's price was the best around by almost $20. Could use some better support to tie multiple units together, but had no problem doing it. All the hardware was perfect, except 1 nut was not manufactured correctly. had not threads in it. Again, a great product.
