Folks are good. If i've asked for help and suggestions, i should honour the replies, no? :)

Thanks for this assurance. My garage is attached to a living space, and this makes more sense than anything else. I think this is also the reason why I had to use all 3 stud finders on high sensitivity mode.:beer:

I hear ya. I did feel the impact driver had to work towards driving the screw in. It certainly did not keep spinning. Let's just hope the 3 stud finders i used were correct.

Yes. I will be using construction adhesive alongwith #8-2-1/2" screws to attach the boards together. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Update: I have taken down the leading beam and I will be installing 2 2x6 beams as per suggestions. I will post a followup photo soon. Thank you very much everyone of you.:bowdown:

I hear your concerns. Below is how the stud finder showed me the studs. I also tried to space the joists 12" OC. It worked well going from right to left, but, as I got past the center point, it became difficult for me to place them precisely on 12"OC, hence you see it as erratic. It is not...

Wow. That's brilliant! Thank you so much! Unfortunately the HUC26-2 is not available here in Canada. We have this: https://www.homedepot.ca/product/simpson-strong-tie-lus-zmax-galvanized-face-mount-joist-hanger-for-double-2x6/1000151887

Understood. I have a L bracket which i havent installed yet. I will be doing it soon on both ends.

What would you term heavy storage as? I dont have kayaks or anything. Its mostly going to be boxes, a couple of bikes and maybe 5-6 cans of paint. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

There are 2x6s going front to back on both sides. On the left it is attached to studs, on the right to the cinder wall. The dront beam is screwed in to these 2 2x6s with 3 RSS screws each.

The fasteners on the backplate are attached to studs. I used 3 stud finders to verify the stud locations. I know what you mean about the misalignment. Even i was confused about why the stud finders would show something which does not align with the drywall screws. Also when i used the impact...

I'm sorry. Can you please explain a bit more in detail? More specifically about the part of the attachment of the beam... Thanks.

Its going to be storage. Mostly totes that we have lying around here and there.

Would adding another 2x6 to the front suffice?
