Tools and Hardware Reviews of HyLoft 540 45-Inch-by-45-Inch Overhead Storage System, White
Customer Review: Excellent Storage Option
Summary: 5 Stars
I wasn't sure how this was going to be able to hold up to 250 lbs but after installing it, it's as strong as any steel shelving you would put in your garage. It is a very good kit and easy to install. The instructions say it only takes 1/2 hour for installation but with a raised ceiling (Not popcorn but a stamped image) it made the installation time about 1.5 hrs because finding the ceiling joists took forever. Once the base supports were in, the remainder was a snap. The instructions were easy to follow and clear. Only complaint was the pictures were a bit small so you have to go to the company website to look at installed examples to see the direction of the bases and bars.
If you have boxes you are constantly stepping over in your garage all the time, this is the storage option for you!
Customer Review: Excellent for the Novice

I bought 5 of these for the rear of my garage. At first I was puzzled by the setup (the "duh you can figure this out, come on guy" setup), but once the first one went up no trouble after that. Aligning all 5 was a challenge, but looked great in the end. Pros: plenty of space, can hold a lot of weight; Cons: Alignment of multiple racks, wishing I had ordered 2 more. Bought at Home Depot on sale for 47.00ea 6 months ago (good luck finding that price now after the gas-spike). Overall a wonderful product and very solid too.Customer Review: Excellent product

I bought four of these, expecting to need only two, maybe three. Soon enough, all four were hanging from my garage ceiling, and I found myself wishing for at least two more.
They were each $40 shipped, took a bit under an hour to install with basic tools, handle at least the rated 250# weight, and are easily modified for non-standard installations.
More than worth the money, they were a great purchase.
Customer Review: Excellent product for the price and easy to install
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased 3 systems last fall and was very pleased with the product. The price was reasonable for the system after researching similar products elsewhere. Very easy to install no matter which way your trusses go. I went further with the system by installing it close to the wall and adding a 2x4 just to make it more sturdy. I do have one installed away from the wall and it works well but you can get more stability by anchoring it to a 2x4 on the wall. About a month ago I purchased 2 more systems and my garage storage looks great. I even pleased my wife with the results. I recommend this product and will definetly purchase more down the line.Customer Review: Excellent storage solution
Summary: 5 Stars
The Hyloft storage system is very well made and engineered, strong, durable and fairly simple to install. The most important aspect of the installation is to be sure to bolt the support pieces into the ceiling joists using the lag bolts included in the box and not to hang them from the drywall or plaster with hollow wall anchors. The tools needed are a drill, small drill bit, stud finder, tape ruler, wrench or socket set and a pencil. The system is adjustable and is able to hang from cathedral ceilings. I tightened the bolts very well which prevents the Hyloft from moving or swinging when I am loading it.
The ceilings in my garage are fairly low (approx. 10 feet from the floor to the ceiling) so my Hyloft couldn't hang down too low and couldn't be installed above the garage door. However, the amount of storage space afforded by this system is still quite large and convenient. I have purchased a second Hyloft and highly recommend it.
