Before you go overhead
A ceiling rack needs more
than an empty ceiling.
Check the rack drop against your car and the full travel of the garage door. Our checker compares your measurements and your chosen clearance margin.
A sensible order of work
Measure. Map. Then choose.
Measure the real space
Use the narrowest internal width. Include mirrors, door opening, pipes and the route from the car to the house.
Mark out the storage
Tape cabinet and shelf footprints onto the floor. Try the car doors and the garage door before ordering.
Read the maker’s instructions
Dimensions tell you what fits. The specified fixings, wall construction and load limits determine what can be installed.
