Interesting garage storage idea

A picture is worth a thousand words. What do you guys think?

My wife always over fills our totes, so I doubt after she was done with them I could lift them up to the slides.

needs labels on the bottom as well as the side of the tote.

Overall I like it. Would be usefull for relatively light items that dont get used regularly. Maybe seasonal decorations?

Not a bad idea. Install them high, store valuables, hide the ladder. Crackheads would run out of dope trying to figure how to get up there.

It's 3 boards nailed together per track. He probably just built it himself.

Beware of plastic "creep". Plastic under load will change shape over time.

I recall someone here posting pictures of a similar system they built in their garage. It would be fine for stuff that is seldom used like Christmas decorations, but probably a pain for anything you had to access frequently.

Looks like a DIY system. The I beams look like they could be made from wood. Then buy some tubs and space the I beam runner to fit.

All I have is the photo.

I was thinking maybe for seasonal decorations (Halloween, Christmas, 4th of July) and of course they cannot be heavy.

It looks like a family handyman photo..
I think I would go with hyloft or saferacks type system, that way you are not forced to buy beefy storage crates, which would cost upwards of $15-$25 each. Plus you can store other long items up there.

Hopefully with screws instead of nails...

That was in Family Handyman magazine.
