Ok, I see your point there. Thanks for the insight. Ceiling is 12 ft 9 inches You had me at Lag screw! Lol... I researched that better, and found you were correct. Lag screws were the way to go from the beginning. I am adding 5/16 x 4.5 lags ASAP. I happen to have some timberlok's ready to go...

Thanks! Fan is moving over cars in the near future!! Lol Thanks. The space above my door did not work for me due to head space... I will show pics of storage i did above that. 3.5 inch nails into studs. We talked about adding "legs" every 32 inches on ledger. I thought that might be...

Hello all! I have been browsing this site for years and just now got into a new house and time to get my garage in shape! Bags

Really? After talking to 2 different builders both thought the 14 inch ( I think 3 inches thick) LVL beam would be plenty of support. Heck one of them was going to do 3 2x12's mated together. We are discussing using 2 10 inch LVL beams mated together to get me 4 more inches of clearance...
