Suspended Garage Shelving Anchored With All Thread

Hopefully this will help you form some ideas on what type of shelving you would like in your garage to help with organizing. It wasn’t until I all but finished that I thought this might be a good build to share. I was taking pictures along the way for myself. Sorry there are no instruction or steps to build the shelves. I am going to be building another set and try do a better job at documenting the steps. In my garage there is not a lot of space between the walls and the cars. So if I would have built them from floor to ceiling we would not be able to open our car doors easily. You can see in the one still frame picture of the attic that the all thread goes through a 2x4 that is suspended from truss to truss. Not sure the weight rating for the shelves but they should do for the storage items that I plan on putting up there. Thanks and leave a comment or suggestions for future projects. Enjoy!

Thank you for the pic at :59, that is what I’m wanting to do in my garage but couldn’t find a pic of attaching to the ceiling perpendicular. Thank you!

Wish you would’ve actually filmed a shelf installed with your wire and bolts including in the attic but regardless it looks clean, well built and definitely not an eye sore

Nice video! Can you explain how you created the lip for the plywood to sit on? Also will the threaded rod work on the roof rafters?

[Michael-wyom]

Maybe i missed part one but how the metal bolts are in roof I would like to see how

brilliant and economic overhead storage. Please tell me how the threaded rods got anchored to the ceiling?

considering the same type of build. any concern that one side is supported by the same 2 trusses for the length of the shelf? I would like to build one in the dead space above my garage door, but the trusses run parallel to the door and 2 trusses would bear the structure.

Hi, I am trying to make this shelving. May I know how to anchor all thread to the ceiling? Thanks.

At 0:34 i can see where you have like a ledge where you rested the plywood on, what was the process to create that? Was it as simple as running the 2x4 through a saw?

Thanks

A bit frustrating that you show nailing of the shelf surface (which is really straight forward), but the supporting structure just magically exists. Did you build the structure in place, or on the floor and then lift? Sorry to be grousing about this, but you video didn't help me with my current challenge. Also, it look like you are using 1/2 inch threaded rod?

I'm racking my brain on how to accomplish this all-thread idea with a second story above the garage 🤔 ideas?

Didn’t learn much & the music was atrocious but sweet job.

Would’ve been better to have the 2x4’s flat or the other way for more surface load-bearing area.

Would’ve made the shelves thinner & less intrusively bulky without losing strength in the least bit.

You can't show instructions on ceiling mount?? Ugh.
