Is there an ideal height that this should be set in my garage? I want something easy to take off and easy to put on.....and wanted it mounted higher.

I put it as high as I could. I am away from my home but can tell you that it's about 18 to 24 from ceiling. Just enough room to get shovels on and off. This item is pretty good. The one thing you have to be careful with is attaching across and hitting studs at the ends. It is only 8ft when both pieces are abutted. With the placement of the holes, it gets a little tricky, but doable. The screws will just have to be angled in.

No, I think that's one of the great things about this product. You can hang it at any height you want, as long as you make sure you find studs to secure it to the wall. In fact, we took the two rails and put them on opposite sides of the garage for two different reasons and they are at different heights. We added peg board under the Holey rails that we mounted on 1x2's that not only protect the wall underneath but also provide additional hanging space. We really like this product and the garage has never looked better.

My ideal height was around 7 ft. but you could use it at any height that suited your needs. To move it you just unscrew it from the wall...so easy!

It should be plenary big if you get the long size. But it is a shed. If I had a 67 GTO I would build a small garage for it. It will be twice the price but you should spend the money and protect your asset. I had a lege tree limb fall on mine and everything was fine but if it was a real garage it wouldn't have been penetrated

Yes, pull your car into the garage at 35" from where the unit is set on the wall, then set the unit at that point. It helps to have another person help set the unit as you drive into the garage to the marked 35".

Without getting out a tape measure, I can't tell you exactly, but at the lowest setting (7.5 ft from floor to rim) it wouldn't fit in my garage. I would guess my garage is 10 feet tall. It was very close, though, so I put a few books under the base, tilting it forward a little, and it now fits...barely.

I would imagine the limitation has something to do with the length of the rope that comes with it. My ceiling is 9' 6" and the hoist works just fine. Worst case scenario: you may have to buy a longer rope, but I would bet the hoist works just fine in your garage, too.

A 14' ceiling would be ideal. I have mine installed on a 10' ceiling and it works well. An additional 4' of clearance should allow most vehicles to fit underneath.

Bike is Suspended by Nylon Rope to the ceiling. I believe if anyone really wanted Your Bike bad enough, this Hanging /Storage System would NOT prevent them from doing that? You could However remove a wheel and keep it inside or pad Lock Wheel before raising it up!Cheers! Curt>~iii~<( sure freed up a lot of room in My Garage!

I would hang it higher so the bike is completely off the floor.This way you have more wiggle room when you try to hang up your bike.Also, since every bike's size dimension is different, you won't have to worry if you want to hang a different bike in the future.I would just hang it where it is comfortable for you to hang your bike, leaving a few inches at the bottom.

The closest I've been able to bring the object you want to store (for me its a kayak) to the ceiling is about23-24 inches. So, to answer your question, you have to measure from the top of your 'object' you want to store to the bottom plus 23 inches.. Figuring this all out in my head, doesn't look like you have enough room with the garage door open.

Wish I could help you, but.... I bought it a long time ago & I never had a chance to put it up. So it's sits in my garage until it's a priority.However.... I was thinking of posting it on a wood post. Like an outside lamp light post. Not to sure how yet. But eventually... I will get around to putting it up. Sorry not much help!

I haven't had any problems with mine though I only have a 42 inch and have the cart set about as short as I can. With the way the design works the extra weight should help stabilize it further. It really depends what you intend to do with it. If you are going to put this in the middle of your garage, set at max height with a pack of excited rottweilers roaming about, then I would at least suggest putting a couple sandbags on the legs. If it is going to be against a wall, set at a more common viewing height with a big dog or two bumping it on occasion then you should be fine. Now if you have a Maine Coon that likes to jump from the top of the bookshelves onto the TV, all bets are off.

Ooops! I was thinking 8 foot ceiling. Standard garage doors are 7 feet high. So, you'll need the extension for an 8 foot door. Sorry for my previous incorrect answer.

I have mine mounted to the wall in the garage and it is about 2 feet (24") off the ground.

Depending on your set up you can manipulate the height of the standoffish by lowering installing it lower. You can raise it as few as a few inches above the ground. Still that sounds tight

How about height when measured from the cross beam to the top of the rack? Need to ensure that I can get into the garage. Thanks.

I have mine in a closet covering about a 3ft by 3ft area, almost 6ft from the floor. I'm sure it could be raised to cover more area with light in a bigger room like a 5ft by 5ft area in a basement or garage. It's a good product I have to say for the price and everything included plus I've had no issues so far. I'm looking forward to the end of December!!
