Overhead Garage Storage: The Way Of The Future?

Overhead garage storage represents, without question, the most efficient way to get rid of any clutter you have clogging up your garage or other parts of your home. Perhaps the most surprising thing about overhead garage storage is that so few people have it, given how easy to install and use it is.

About Overhead Garage Storage

  • Standard garage overhead storage requires you to have four pulley-wheels bolted to the ceiling of your garage.

  • Once they’re installed, all you need to do is thread some rope through them and attach them to the coiling mechanism on your overhead garage storage platform (you can find these at most major hardware stores).

  • The actual mechanism by which the system is activated is simple enough for a child to understand.

  • Just turn a winch-wheel by means of a lever, and the platform will rise or fall uniformly, allowing you to stow things away or access your stored goods with very little fuss to speak of.

Different Overhead Garage Storage

Aside from plain old overhead garage storage platforms, there are a number of more specialized overhead storage solutions you might want to take a squiz at.

Bicycle Storage

  • Perhaps one of the best ways to free up space in your garage if you’re a cyclist is to have an overhead bicycle storage rack.

  • Such racks are vastly superior to the everyday wall racks you’ve probably seen, which require you to heft your bicycle up to head or chest height just to rack the thing.

  • Instead, these racks lower all the way to the ground, allowing you to place your bike wheels or seat first, depending on the type of garage storage rack you purchased.

  • Such racks are also better than traditional wall racks due to the fact that they don’t result in any abrasion of your bicycle frame, which could potentially ruin its paint job.

If that idea appeals to you, there’s no reason to stop there. You can find overhead garage storage racks for

  • golf club kits
  • gym equipment
  • motorcycles
  • wet bikes

Though obviously the expense called for when you’re purchasing one of the latter is substantially greater, due to the greater weight that both the rack and the pulley system will have to bear. In the case of golf kit racks, you can easily make one yourself from a bit of lumber, a circular saw, a drill, some bolts and a little ingenuity.

Looking At MonsterRax

If, on the other hand, you’d rather go for something built by a reputable company, whether you’d like the peace of mind of having a professional technician install your overhead garage storage system, or are confident you can do that part yourself, you’d do well for yourself by going with MonsterRax.

  • MonsterRax is known for producing some of the most rugged garage overhead storage racks available, most of which retail at very reasonable prices.

  • If you contact MonsterRax directly, you can also have one of their professional handymen (there are currently about 75 spread across the continental U.S.) install the device for you at a significantly lower cost than you’d pay for unaffiliated pros to do the work.
