The Hyloft overhead storage system installs easily, it is height adjustable, and made of durable steel. This space saving system does not interfere with garage doors or openers and it's more cost effective than conventional shelving.
Frequently asked
questions:
How do I locate my ceiling studs?
If using an electronic stud sensor, follow the directions located on the back of
the stud finder. If not, look on the ceiling to identify any visible nailing
patterns or drywall tape patterns. These will generally indicate the direction
of the ceiling studs. If none are visible, drive a small nail (at least two
inches long) 1 1/2" into the ceiling. If the nail can be pushed in the rest of
the way by hand, you have not hit a stud and need to continue to do this step
until you locate a stud.
Once you have located a stud using the same method, move the nail over to the
right a 1/4" and drive it in 1 1/2". Repeat this step until you locate the right
edge of the stud. Repeat this step moving to the left this time to determine the
left edge of the ceiling stud.
What do I do if I have Metal Studs in my ceiling?
The majority of houses are built with ceiling joists made of wood, however we do
offer an installation kit for those with metal studs.
