Tools and Hardware Reviews of HyLoft 540 45-Inch-by-45-Inch Overhead Storage System, White

Customer Review: Best purchase made for storage!
Summary: 5 Stars

Bought mine back in 2003 when we moved into our new house. Of course, there's NO place to store anything in the house, so had to find some way to make room. Noticed lots of room in the garage, especially over garage door (11 ft ceilings). Bought 1 of the 4'x4'. Fits with no touching, or any other problems (well, except finding studs to mount to the ceiling)! Bought 2 more and now I have to room I needed for boxes and decorations and baby stuff and whatever else I need to put away! Simple, easy to install by yourself, and relatively cheap now (I paid $79.95 for mine, looks like they lowered the price by $20)!

Customer Review: Best solution I could find!
Summary: 5 Stars

I went into this looking for two things: 1, add extra storage to my home; and 2, be able to install by myself. The HyLoft 540 was the answer to both.

When I moved into my new townhome I quickly realized that my family and I had more stuff than space and adding storage to my garage seemed like an easy answer. My problem? I can barely hammer a nail to a wall (slight exaggeration, but nearly true). After more than a month of research I decided on the HyLoft system and I will never look back!

I purchased two sets to I could have a side-by-side system. When it arrived the directions were clear and to the point. ANYONE can understand them. In all, it took me about an hour start to finish to install them both. It was mentioned in a previous review that they can swing a bit. Yes, this is true. But it took me about 5 minutes more to install 2 L-brackets to secure them to the wall. No swinging anymore. Plus, each set came with materials to tie the separate pieces together to create a seamless overhead storage system.

The only con I have is that I was hoping to have a bit more height to store things. The packaging makes it seem like you can store two large containers stacked, but I just didn't find this possible. Maybe with two smaller storage tubs, but one is about all you'll get. Small complaint, I just re-packed a few tubs and everything fits.

If you're looking for a great, easy-to-install system that is incredibly versatile, look no further!

Customer Review: Best storage solution ever!
Summary: 5 Stars

We now have eight of these Hyloft units in our garage/basement. We started with only two and keep adding them. They are so nice looking and keep everything up off the floor and so organized. I have things stored on them according to category, ie; electrical & plumbing parts, car parts, camping gear and ice chests yard supplies. I use a lot of the plastic storage buckets for small pieces and label them so I can read them from below. Only draw back that I have encountered is that I have to get the ladder out and climb up to get things down. Not a big deal when you consider that I have room in the garage now for the ladders to hang on the wall not to mention room for the cars! They hold a lot of weight too!

Customer Review: Better than expected

I want to thank whoever designed the packaging and instructions for HyLoft. This product is not complicated to put together, but there are more fasteners and parts than you might guess. Everything is well labeled. The container for the fasteners has wells for each type of part.

I dropped a nut onto the floor and couldn't find it. No problem - there is a little bag labeled 'spare parts' that contained a spare. The manual starts by showing the assembled product, then step-by-step instructions.

I was going to make a heavier-duty shelf, but I'm glad I went with two of these instead. As others have said, the shelf will wobble side-to-side a bit if you're not careful, but it is not a big deal.
