FLEXIMOUNTS 3x6 Heavy-Duty Overhead Garage Storage Rack

bizybee: What a space saver! Easy to hang. Very sturdy. All the screws were included. The price was less on Amazon. We probably will buy another.

E. StewartE. Stewart: This storage rack is wasn't very difficult to assemble and install. I did miss one step that to me wasn't very clear about using the M8 x 10mm bolts for the 3-part shelf assembly. I'm happy with this purchase and the additional storage it provides me. The one critique I have is in my case the ceiling brackets were barely long enough. My joists were spaced so that there wasn't an additional joist between the two inner most joists I used to secure the ceiling brackets to. As a result the 36" width of the rack required I use some of most inner bolt locations for the L-shaped vertical posts. That said, I realize longer ceiling brackets would also potentially create a problem for some garages that may be limited based on the install location.

Tip: Having an H-5 hex key really helps in the assembly versus using the Allen wrench included in the hardware. I would suggest this product: https://a.co/d/4Atali7

Stan L. Riggin: This product has truly overhauled our garage storage and in a very positive way. The units look great and provide considerable storage area. The installation is fairly straight forward, but it still takes a while to catch on to the process. If you have more than one to install, then the learning curve will definitely shorten the time for the 2nd installation. I'm very impressed with the quality and design.

Mama Bear: To spare long reading, I'll just break down what we perceive as pros and cons

PROS
*Solid unit. Definitely made of solid materials.
*Fairly easy to install. You'll want to make sure you install into the beams themselves to ensure holding any significant weight.
*Sturdy - we have all of our outside yard games, chairs, and coolers in the top. Then we hung 4 bikes from the underside. **see cons about this**

CONS:
*Pain in the BEHIND to put the rack together. The holes are not threaded correctly so it took FOREVER to put the unit together. Some holes weren't even threaded. Hurt my hands just trying to screw these in with an Allen Wrench.
*Though sturdy, it definitely sags in the middle. It is NOT from the above stated weight. It was sagging before adding anything at all. The construction of it is still solid so I'm not worried about failure. But if you're looking for perfectly straight, not happening with this unit.

All of this being said, it's a great solid product. I would buy it again. In fact we have a 4x8 to install sitting in the garage (That's a long story, FedEx lost that shipment... Just got the replacement) Instructions are pretty easy to...

eid8801: This is the 2nd garage rack i put up myself with minimal help. First was a new age. Superficially they resemble each other but i think the fleximount is much better and easier to put up even if it costs a few dollars more. The brackets on fleximount are large and can span two joists. The key to putting these racks is getting the lag screws into studs. Its quite difficult finding studs while perched on a ladder. I bought 3 different stud finders including some expensive ones like franklin one. But none are perfect. Maybe best is the cheap magnet one. If you miss the stud you can move over a hole on fleximount and you can try it again. On a small bracket you have to move everything and pray you're going to get lucky. Spacing out the brackets 4 feet apart isnt too bad but if you mismeasure, you can adjust the vertical hanging bracket without moving the ceiling mount. Just move the vertical bracket over one or two holes and youll be fine. You still have to space the other brackets 6 feet away or 8 feet away depending on your rack. That isnt easiest measuring a distance on the ceiling. But at least you can get the width done without too much trial and error.
I have two criticisms....
