SafeRacks, is a fast growing, quality focused, highly responsive product line of overhead storage and organizational products.

Can I install SaferRacks into Metal Joists or Concrete Ceilings?Answer: NO!

SafeRacks are designed to be installed into wood joists only. If your ceiling is dry-walled, use a stud finder to locate the joists.

Before you begin, gather the required tools and components listed below and ensure all are accounted for.If any of the listed components in your packaging are missing, please call 877.655.3443 to have them sent directly to you.

Please read through the assembly instructions completely before proceeding to installation. Once you understand all of the installation steps, proceed with the installation.

(These instructions depict a 4'x8' size rack being installed; all size racks can be installed based on the same steps taken with different measurements depending on rack size)

Begin by installing your ceiling brackets (Figure 1).

Next, the vertical posts will fasten to the ceiling brackets (Figure 2).

Finally, the horizontal beams and center support will attach to the vertical posts; the decks are placed on the beams to complete your rack installation (Figure 3)

WARNING: This installation is intended for a wood framed home, if your home is steel framed, stop the installation and call 877.655.3443.

Option 1: If the ceiling bracket is being placed in the corner of the wall and ceiling, and 2 joists are not available for anchoring, you can install the lag bolts into the wall header if one is present (Figure 7).

Note: If this option is chosen, install the ceiling bracket 1 " from the wall, so that you can access the back of the bracket to install the nut and bolt for the vertical post in the next step (Figure 8).

Option 2: If the vertical posts are centered on a wall stud, you can screw the vertical post directly to the wall stud. Use 3 washers total per lag screw, 2 against the wall and 1 on the head of the lag screw (Figure 9).

Note: If this option is chosen, install the lag screws loosely at first to ensure room for assembling the rest of the rack and leaving room for the wire decking which sits over the lip of the rack.
