Overhead garage storage helps free up floor space by making use of ceiling areas. It’s ideal for storing bulky, seasonal, or rarely used items like camping gear or holiday decorations. Common systems include suspended racks, ceiling-mounted shelves, or even hoists. These are secured to the garage ceiling joists and must be weight-rated for safety.
Clearance is crucial—ensure there’s enough room between the car roof and the lowest point of the storage. Avoid placing items that are too heavy or used frequently in overhead areas.
Labelled bins, wire baskets, and zip-up bags help keep items dust-free and organised. Regular checks can prevent sagging, loose fittings, or insect infestations.
When planning overhead storage, map out zones that avoid lighting or garage door tracks. Secure installation and access tools like a step ladder are key to making the system safe and usable.
