This Incredible Find Instantly Doubles the Storage Space in Your Garage

Garages are where many people store their surplus and off-season goods: plastic bins filled with winter toys for the kids, comfy sweaters yet to be worn this year, the list could go on. But if your garage is becoming rather cramped or is on the smaller side to begin with, you need to do all you can to make the most out of every square foot.

I found the perfect item to help you do just this, and the best part is that it doesn’t even take up any of your floor space which is already at a premium. It’s for sure an investment piece but it’s one that you’ll reap the benefits from instantly. Here’s why you need the Fleximounts Overhead Garage Ceiling Rack.

The Fleximounts Overhead Garage Ceiling Rack is a durable rack that uses the dead space of your garage’s ceiling to add storage. Whether you’re not a fan of stacking your boxes sky-high and would rather use a rack, or if your garage is full to bursting but you can fit a bit more in overhead, this adjustable piece can be made to work in almost any space. All you need is a step ladder to access it once it’s up, and you’re good to go.

The metal ceiling rack comes in two sizes (3 by 6 feet or 4 by 6 feet) and two colors (white or black) and is tested to support up to 450 pounds. There’s nothing to stop you from adding multiple racks into your garage too, depending on the size of the space.

One of my favorite things about this product is that the base of it is made up of grid squares, perfect for hanging up any commonly-used tools, gardening supplies, or coats. If you plan to do this, it’s best to hang them up on the back of the garage rack furthest away from you. This way, when you climb your step ladder to access the storage, nothing will be hanging near your legs as you navigate the steps. Alternatively you can stack boxes under the rack, which will slot into the space seamlessly as the ceiling rack’s base is rectangular.

So long as you obey the weight restriction and secure this rack safely, you’ll have this item around for years to come, thanks to its strong steel frame. Several happy customers remarked on how this product “transformed their garage” and instantly became “quite the game-changer” when organizing the area. It’s best to carve out an afternoon by yourself or with a friend to assemble this ceiling rack, as a number of buyers mentioned finding it difficult to install on their own.
