In case anyone is curious, it CAN be installed by one person and it WILL work on a sloping ceiling. I liken it to building a suspension bridge. Just make sure you measure carefully. I bolted pieces of 2x8 to the spots where the anchor irons are installed (they're perpendicular to the joists) so I could secure each one with two lag bolts apiece. I went one step further and used 3.5" lag bolts on two of the four anchor irons. A little 3-in-1 oil really helps. Once the vertical irons are in place, it goes quickly. If you line everything up just so, the bottom pieces pop right into place on the key slots. The front 8' horizontal brace went right in; I didn't even have to use a rubber mallet. I've already hung my mountain bike, two fishing rods and some car parts using the accessory hooks.

Good directions for assembly, relatively easy to install, just takes time (and definitely recommend a second pair of hands). Once up seems very sturdy and the white finish blends in with the ceiling/walls.
Only negative was all the tie-wraps that were supposed to secure the parts in the box for shipping were snapped, likely due to the weight (the parts are heavy). No parts were damaged but the same thing happened in both boxes (we had ordered two) so likely a packaging design flaw.
Otherwise they seem great so far.

This shelving is just as described as far as quality and durability. I highly recommend. It is nice and large. Unfortunately, it wouldn't allow clearance above my garage door and still store the ice chests, etc that we wanted to store. I recommend diligent measuring before you purchase. I will say that we are novice 'carpenters', so finding the center of our joists in a (drywall) finished garage ceiling was excruciating. We finally had to drive to where our builder had a similar house as ours under construction and look at what the ceiling looked like. Don't laugh, but fair warning if you are also new to this kinda thing: this unit took us 2 1/2 days to finish installing.

Purchased New Age product 96 in. L x 48 in. W x 42 in. H Adjustable VersaRac Ceiling Storage Rack in Grey. Easy to assemble and good quality parts. Instructions were a little unclear, but it was easy to figure out how it went together. ceiling storage is adjustable to meet your needs. Best to do this with 2 people. Really happy with this product and price. I would recommend this product to family and friends.

Easy to assemble, directions are exceptional, extremely strong, the design is very "forgiving" when mounting to the ceiling- you can be off a half inch or so and the design self-corrects to give a perfect appearing installation.

Very Sturdy but very heavy. The horizontal frame could be much lighter as ceiling joists will have to handle the weight of the rack and the stored items. Also, the connectors on the vertical frame pieces are only small bolts, a single one at each connection to the ceiling, I cut and installed a second brace at each of the four ceiling connectors.

A little difficult installing this by myself, so I would recommend getting an additional set of hands. It will go a lot quicker. I will be getting another unit to install it adjacent to the first. These are great to store my holiday decorations.

Heavy Duty materials, Good quality ...easy to install. Took me 4 1/2 hours, but I didnt have any help. It calls for a 2 person install. The hardest part for me was just making sure I hit the center of the ceiling joists with the lag bolts. Will probably put up 1-2 more.

Very easy to install. After deciding where to hang the storage rack, locate the rafters where the Ceiling Mounting Angles will be anchored. Determine how far down you want the platform to hang and assemble the Vertical Angle Posts to length. Attach the Vertical Angle Posts to the Ceiling Mounting Angles and the rest of the assembly snaps into place. Complete install took about 45 minutes. Great product! Will support up to 600 pounds. Easy access using a foot stool. No need to go through the hassle of getting the ladder and climbing into the attic. Plenty of storage room here.

Very good product. I assembled and put this up myself. Biggest challenge was making sure the measurements were accurate. It's built well and can hold quite a bit. The bike hooks, purchased separately, really come in handy and is a nice feature. I would recommend this product.

This is a right proper skookum storage rack. However, If you are not a decent fabricobbler, and you have engineered beams as ceiling joists, you might want to reconsider hanging storage. I have engineered beams in my garage ceiling under the drywall. I had to cut open the drywall to tie beefy support brackets into the beams from the side. Not the fault of the product. The product itself exceeded my expectations. Heavy gauge steel (and I mean about 100lb worth), all of the predrilled holes line up dead on, stainless steel mounting hardware. It is a beast. And HUGE! You don't appreciate how big 4x8 is until you put it up. This product is a true rarity at Home Depot. Inexpensive, but extremely sturdy. No cut corners here to save costs here. This is the Cockford Ollie for garage storage.

Easy to install. Liked the 2 adjustable heights. The color gray looks very nice in our garage. Negative is how heavy it is. I'm sure that adds to the durability of it. But I wonder how good it is on your house to have a 100+lb hanging shelf plus all the storage weight placed on it.

The overhead racks were just what I needed. Once I found the rafters the install was easy. I put two side by side which required tight measurements. The only thing that suffered was my neck from looking up from the top of a ladder. The only problem with the racks is minor, the steel mesh slides and rattles a little. I tried zip ties to hold it no avail. All in all, I recommend and would buy again.

Fabulous shelves! I want to give it 4.75 stars, but I just can't quite give it 5 because of the CONS listed below.
PROS:
1. Very sturdy (at least so far).
2. The wire "floor" folds over the edge of the frame to make loading heavy plastic bins easy to store.
3. The overall fit and finish is great. No sharp edges. Everything screwed together exactly as designed.
CONS:
1. My ceiling joists are 16" apart, which, if I understand correctly, is the standard. This makes the 72" options useless if you're going with the "perpendicular" installation. They should drill holes to allow 64 and or 80" options.
2. The diagrams for attaching the vertical angle posts to the ceiling angle brackets are wrong. (Page 9, the diagrams for step 13) If you install the ceiling brackets so that they are 48" from the left end of one to the left end of the other, and then install the vertical posts in the second-from-the-left hole in each ceiling bracket, the faces of the vertical posts facing each other will be 49.5" (give or take the thickness of the steel) apart. Since the short perimeter beams are 48" long, the verical posts will be angled in a little. Instead, the vertical posts should be attached in the #3 hole on the left side and the #2 hole on the right side, so that the two vertical post faces facing each other are right in the middle of the ceiling bracket and are thus 48" apart. I bought two racks and figured this out between installing the first and second. The second one together so much easier.
2. The vertical posts come it two lengths - 18" and 27". if you want to mount the deck at, say, 24" from the ceiling, you have to either cut 3" from the 27" posts or leave the posts long, and leave a possible head-bonking hazard.

Good product. Assembly was fairly easy. I did need to get a little help for measurements on a couple of occasions but more or less put it up by myself. Seems to be extremely sturdy and will hold quite a bit of stuff. I put it over the garage door so I'm using some worthless space for storage. I only come down 18 in from the ceiling for clearance above the door. Probably could have gone another 3 in but the only other option was a 27 inch bracket. Probably took me about 4 hours to put up. I do have another to put up and I'm sure it will only take me a couple of hours since I've already done one.

Once we decided what direction we wanted them to be hung, installation was a breeze. The 18" setup is tucked away beautifully above the garage door when open. The ability to choose the height greater than 18" on the one not over my garage door is a plus to store those buns taller than 15 1/2".

Excellent product. Quality heavy duty material. Instructions were straight forward and easy to follow.
Product has been installed for about a month and has allowed us to free up a lot of floor space.
I have experienced no down sides to this product. I installed the two racks sharing one ceiling rafter which reduces the load capacity of the rack as explained in the instructions.

Nice sturdy racks for storing stuff off the floor in our garage. We purchased 2 of these and put them end to end - will support 450 lb each in this configuration. These were easy to assemble - my wife and I did the first one in about 2 hours and the second one in about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
