How do I locate my ceiling studs?

If you're using an electronic stud sensor, consult the user manual. Otherwise, one of these methods might help:

  • Check the ceiling for any visible drywall screw or tape patterns. These usually indicate the location and direction of the ceiling joists.
  • You can sometimes tell by tapping on the ceiling—a solid-feeling tap can indicate the joist location.
  • The screws in the ceiling that attach the brackets holding up the garage door rails may show where the studs are located. 
  • Frequently the length-wise direction of the electrical outlet for the garage door opener runs parallel to the ceiling joists. Use this as a reference.
  • Drive a nail or drill a hole through the drywall. If you hit wood above the drywall, you have probably located the joist.
  • A last resort is to cut a 6"x6" hole in the ceiling and look up into the hole above the ceiling drywall to locate joists.

How many HyLoft units can I install in my garage?

In order to adequately disperse the stored load, you should not install more than two HyLoft units on any two ceiling beams (rafters, studs, roof trusses, etc.).

Consult a home construction professional if you have questions.

How much storage volume does my HyLoft 45x45 unit provide?

At the minimum height adjustment of 16 inches, your storage volume is 20 cubic feet. Every two inches of additional downrod adjustments equals 2 1/2 cubic feet of storage space with a maximum of 30 cubic feet at 28 inches.

What if I am having problems with my installation?

Think of the project in three general steps:

  1. Locate the ceiling joists and install the ceiling brackets. This is the most difficult step
  2. Connect and assemble the downrods and support bars
  3. Place and connect the grids

If you are having difficulties:

  1. Review the install sheets and then attempt the installation again. Once the ceiling joist locations are determined, the remainder of the project goes very quickly.
  2. Assemble as much as possible on the floor. After you determine the downrod height you need, these can be assembled on the floor. 
  3. Follow each step in the installations. There are a number of diagrams and images that are can be very helpful.
  4. Be sure to use the proper tools as listed on the install sheet.

If you are still having problems with your installation, please call Customer Service at 800.253.1561 or email us.
