It is impossible to overstate the importance of measuring everything accurately before you pull the trigger on this purchase. These generally only go in one orientation relative to your garage ceiling, for example, and you'll need spacing to be dead on for it to work at all.
Do you have a floor above your garage? Should be fine in that case. Last time I looked into these if you have roof above your garage and it uses engineered trusses then these are pretty much a no go as the trusses aren't meant for that kind of load.
After nearly packing and putting over a dozen big boxes like that, I wonder when will one take it all out to get an item and put back all of that again. It defeats the time saving? Don't get me wrong I would love to have someone else do it for me! šŸ¤“

Can these be mounted if ceiling joists in garage were engineered as "non-load bearing" ?

Hit up a local structural engineer. Most likely it's fine for a certain load like 10psf or so but need a local struct to look at it.

3 years into having these I'm noticing cracks in the garage ceiling. Had them professionally installed everything should be right. In the end I just don't think ceilings were meant for these.
Cracks in the drywall or the actual wood?

These are death trap if your celing is weak!!
Sure if you are mounting them inside your 1970 single wide trailer. These are perfectly fine and safe if mounted properly in the garage. They are designed to hold allot of weight. If your ceiling cant handle 300lbs of weight how is someone supposed to go into your attic, or for your roof to hold any amount of snow?

This is normal. You put bolts through the drywall and pinned metal to make a drywall sandwich between a metal rail and a wood joist. You also flexed the ceiling by a few millimeters by hanging weight from it. Things gonna move a little. Drywall is going to give somewhere.

Your house moves a little with season change and humidity. The drywall can't do that as easily anymore. You'll get hairline cracks in drywall. It's cosmetic. Putty and paint and it'll prob disappear for a few years or for forever

Snow load isn't ceiling load, an engineered truss is designed to hold a load and distribute it in a certain way. Just because it can hold a load on top on the top part of the truss pushing down doesn't mean it can hold a load on the bottom part pulling down. There are tons of support structures like this. Concrete has very good compression strength but its relatively weak on tensile strength, only about 10% as strong, it wouldn't be wise to say because you can stand on concrete you can hang the same weight from it. So before you go telling people these are perfectly safe you need to understand that it entirely depends on whats above your ceiling.

It's a pain to rebox these.

Don't use these on trusses. Like the other commenter said, if you have a floor above your garage, your joists will likely be 2x10 or greater which would work. If you have nothing above your garage, it's most likely trusses, which in the instructions say it's fine but they really shouldn't have added that in there since the bottom chord of a truss is usually not engineered to be load bearing.

They don't require you to rebox. They won't even require the box. Just haul it there however you can and they will take it.

They may not require it, but you should do it anyway.

Returns don't give you free reign to trash the product and create more work than necessary.

Anyone entertain the idea of using the double 2x4s to create rails that those black and yellow storage totes slide into. Less expensive and totes only take up as much room as they are tall.

I have these from a previous SD and finally have them installed after paying someone to do it. A giant PITA to install. But great if / when you have them set up. Game changer for storage in otherwise wasted space.

My garage was weird with studs. Be ready for lots of measuring, marking, and stud finding, all while on a ladder and moving from point to point. But once that's done, install is relatively easy.

I installed these back in Jan from the previous SD, which was $30 more.. >Frown

So, I think I spent about 8-10 hours installing these myself. It was a huge pain, but I installed mine over my garage doors. You have to make sure to measure, and remeasure, and better do it a third time.

The time consuming problem is the 27'' C-Channels that you mount between the joists. It takes a lot of patience and double measuring to make sure you get the correct offset from a wall for both ends, as well as lining up the 96.5 or 48.5 measurements to the other C-Channels. You can flub the 96.5 run a little bit since you can move the vertical posts laterally between the lag screws to compensate... but the 48.5 width needs to be pretty true. So getting one C-Channel is the easy part. Then it's meticulous measuring and making sure the rest are inline.

Get a great stud finder and even a jig/guide for drilling straight up into the ceiling. A slight angle could get ya broken bit as you think you're drilling straight vertical and apply a bit too much force. GUILTY. Then I got out the drill guide.

Where do I find and how much does a structural engineer charge?
