The garage overhead storage rack can be positioned parallel or
perpendicular to the wood ceiling joists/rafters. Determine the
application required for your desired installation. If drywall is on
the ceiling, use a stud finder to determine the joist/rafter locations
and mark with masking tape. For application requiring installation
of the brackets perpendicular to the joists/rafters, the maximum
distance between them is 24". The brackets included allow for a
24" maximum span. See figure for typical ceiling layouts. Mark
the location of the ceiling brackets on the joists/rafters or drywall,
making sure the vertical supports can be positioned between the
lag bolts use to attach the brackets. Position the center of the
brackets on a 48" grid as shown in figure.
