I just never have enough space in my shop so this weekend I decided to install some overhead storage in the shop (garage).
My shop has a walk in storage area above it so I was able to hang 2x4s from the 2x6 cross beams with lag bolts. The whole structure is lag bolted together, measures 8 X 12 feet and just like the cross beam is built on 24 inch centers :-( so I have no idea how much weight I can safely put up there. I will have to be careful about storing to much wood or the whole mess might come down on my head. I crawled around in it so I know it can handle 200lbs. At least I will get some of the little used stuff up there and maybe a sheet of 2 or plywood out of the way while I am working on a project:eusa_danc:eusa_danc
Here is a picture...I am fairly sure that I will have to crawl out of bed in the morning after this project....I am getting to old for this kind of work!
