Relatively easy to install [you'll need a level and a power drill], these simple shelves make organizing your garage a snap. If you buy the Hyloft hooks as well, you can store brooms, mops, bicycle gear and backpacks under them. Each shelf holds 150 pounds, which is a lot of weight. I bought a total of 4 shelves (2 two-packs) which cost me just under $100. Well worth it! My garage looks wonderful, and I can find things at a glance. Affordable and cheaper than some garage "solutions" being sold.

This shelf is exactly what you would expect. The construction is very high quality. The brackets are flexible enough that they can be located virtually anywhere along the length of the shelf so you have a good bit of flexibility with where you put the shelf in relation to the wall studs. You do absolutely have to bolt the brackets into a stud since these shelves are designed to hold some substantial weight. I put up 8 of these around my garage along with some of the accessory hooks for ladder storage.

I purchased 10 of these to put in my garage. It is a very sturdy product and well constructed. The only drawback is that you must hit a stud with the lag screws. I dont think a toggle bolt will give you the weight capacity of the shelves.

Each package comes with 2 shelves and I have 5 sets of these in my garage and they are fantasitc. Very easy to install. The hardest part of the installation is keeping the two units flush when installing side by side.

Worth the price. Amazon has the best prices. I've looked around. Lowe's used to carry them but no longer. Home Depot has then but are more expensive.

Pros: Large capacity; Attractive stainless steel design; does its business well.

Cons: N/a thus far.

Bottom-Line: I like my new HyLoft 967 45-by-15-Inch Wall Shelves.

Our house had no basement! Not a pretty fact but there it is. So that presents a storage problem, as is there is precious little of it. So the garage has become our place to store stuff that would normally be shoved into the dark innards of the basement.

So I bought and put together a multitude of floor-standing four shelf units; instant storage after installation of course. But things change and over time the garage had become unruly and I hate unruly. And we are about to make a new car purchase and while there would have been room in the garage to park it, I want the shelves gone. Enter the HyLoft 967 45-by-15-Inch Wall Shelf, 2-Pack I ordered from Amazon.com for $60.00 a pair.

The Product

The HyLoft 967 45-by-15-Inch Wall Shelf, 2-Pack is an all-white ensemble that one installs along the walls of your garage via (6) ¼" x 2.5" hex screws per shelve. The HyLoft 967 shelves are made of strong, durable steel with patented low-profile brackets. Each measures 45 by 15 inches for more than 45 square feet of storage space. Once installed, each shelf will hold up to 150 pounds.

To install the shelves you will need a drill with a 3/16" drill bit, and 7/16" wrench, or socket wrench and 7/16" (11mm) socket. Installation will take about 10 minutes per shelf. And added bonus: the HyLoft 967 is a one-man installation job.

My Thoughts

I like my new HyLoft 967 45-by-15-Inch Wall Shelves. The 2-pack is economical, easy to install (given the proper tools), is strong enough to hold everything that used to find a home on our floor shelves. I ordered (3) boxes and installed all six shelves around the perimeter of my garage leaving the floor empty and ready to receive my new four wheel mode of transport. And my garage looks brand new and eerily empty.

We installed these in our laundry closet and are using one for storage of infrequently used kitchen items and the other one for laundry and cleaning supplies. These shelves are not meant for smaller items like stain sticks since the spacing in the grid is at least a few inches but they work well for boxes or large bottles of laundry detergent. Very solid with the 3 bolts in each bracket.

These shelves are very heavy duty. They look good and will do the job storing heavy items. The box they come in looks a little cheap and you might be worried but don't be. They are excellent shelves. Already bought one set, now looking to get 3 more.

I put 5 of these racks up over my garage door all the same level. I wasn't sure when ordering that 15" was really deep enough for the items I wanted to store. However, it turns out to be a pretty good size. It easily accomodated plastic bins (horizontally positioned) and various sports equipment (suba gear, baseball gear, inline skates ...). There is some flexibility in attaching the racks so that you can offset to the left or right. That works out nicely when doing a long row of racks.

The materials seems like good quality. The racks are heavy, the lag bolts seem strong, and the brackets seems secure. The directions were good. It took me about 30 mins per rack to: locate the studs, measure so that all 4 shelves align, mark the bracket holes, drill the pilot holes, screw in the bolts, and attach the racks. It could be done more quicky if you were doing them at a lower height or not making them all line up. I recommend using a cordless drill to screw in the bolts 90% of the way and then manually tighten with a socket wrench. It would take too long to use a socket on all 6 bolts per rack.

Bottom Line: at $25 per rack, this is a good value in storage. The installation is easy, the materials are good quality, and you have options on how you want these aligned.

Installed 2 shelves in my garage for additional storage space. These shelves are heavy duty and can support 200 lbs. each. As with any shelving, it is key that you locate and install the lag bolts into the studs. Both were up in about 30 minutes and I would purchase them again.

Put two sets of these up in the garage to store anything and everything. They work great. Very very sturdy. Lag bolts work great and pretty easy to install. Just measure twice and everything should line up. Wanted to mention that the 200lb weight limit of the shelves seems to be pretty reliable. After I got each shelf bolted in I thought I'd test them and do pull ups on each one, held my full body weight just fine. All 190lbs of it. Highly recommend. I will be buying some more for sure.
