Need Overhead Garage Storage Recommendations

[GeorgeUSA39]

I just bought a new home that has a very small 2 car garage that will just fit both my car Ford Flex and wife Tesla Model Y. I need to put all of our storage in our garage ceiling as we don't have room on sides or front of the garage. I will be storing everything from surfboards, bicycles to Christmas trees. What are the brands and installers that you all would recommend. Should I look at fixed vs. pulley. Electric vs. crank. All advice is welcome. We live in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Here are a couple of ideas

Overhead bike storage w remote pulley system and tie down system.

Gets them up and out of the way easy. Customized brackets for better fits handle bars and seats.

Keep in mind that the framing above needs to be able to support this additional weight.

I've used these twice now, they work great: SafeRacks - Costco

Saferacks are awesome, are easy to install and can handle a lot of weight. I have the in my garage and love them.

I built my own out of Uni-strut lagged into the garage ceiling joists. It will easily hold more than the garage structure can safely support. But I had access to cheap strut, and there are a ton of fittings you can use to make whatever you want to out of it, so here we are.





Good luck,

There were some killer deals on those Saferacks a couple weeks ago during the holiday sales.

At our last house we only had a 1 car garage & no basement, so storage was at a premium. I used leftover lumber & built a over the door storage rack for my Mustang parts. I bolted the uprights of the storage rack to the ceiling joists.

The safe racks are easy to install . I did two 4x8 on the back wall and they are working out just fine.
