This project was fairly straightforward work with only a couple minor adjustments for my particular garage beams.
Over garage door storage diy.
Over garage door hidden shelving.
And adding this much storage will postpone the need for a typical outdoor storage shed.
These shelves are great for seasonal item storage and stuff that you want to keep but do not need that often.
To start i found the appropriate distance from the front wall in the garage to the ceiling joist i wanted to secure to.
The only limitation is weight.

However you can adjust the shelf height and put them anywhere.
The wooden garage shelves are designed to fit into that unused space above the garage doors you need 16 in.
Diy storage solutions a lot of these overhead garage storage systems are fairly simple from a structural point of view which means if you wanted to you could build something yourself.
There is a lot of empty space above the garage door so why not take advantage of it and add suspended garage storage.
Simpson strong tie connectors make these diy storage shelves easy to build and install.
A storage rack made of wood might do.
