Part of why I didn't do it sooner was because I could never feel comfortable with how I was going to mount it to the ceiling… I have wanted to make an overhead air filter for a while to help clean the air in my garage/workshop, and last year my neighbor upgraded his home furnace and gave me his old blower. That was step one, but how to house it and mount it is what I was trying to get comfortable with. I thought about chains but was worried it would swing a lot from the force, I thought about mounting it to the ceiling directly with rubber bushings but was worried that the vibration and noise would still be an issue. And then, epiphany, I have an overhead rack in my garage for storage, but I didn’t want to buy another one just to not use the wire base. I found this FLEXIMOUNT system on desertcart and for $60-$70 less than a rack with the wire base, I could get this one with NO BASE and modify it how I wanted. It took me maybe two hours to put together by myself, there were times where a second person might have been handy but definitely it can be a one person job. It is super sturdy, I think it is rated to 600 lbs. and after all the build of the enclosure I’m only around 100 pounds, so I’ll actually have additional storage above the shop as well! Can you tell I am super stoked. My other rack in the garage is a more "name brand" one but I can tell you, comparatively, this one is JUST AS STRONG, IF NOT STRONGER, and was for me even easier to put together by myself. And as mentioned, I think one of the best things is simply that you can buy it without a base and save so much money to have what you want. I am going to add some underneath brackets to hold wood and a few other upgrades, so I like that I could make my own base, I used 1/2 inch plywood, anything over 3/8's gives you the 600lb load limit.

I already have it lying around from some shelves I broke down** A: The 4x8 must be cut into 4' section due to how they must sit in as the shelf. If you had a 4x8' sheets, they would need to be cut in-half to make 4x4' sheets. **Q: Can I mount two of them side by side on the same studs?** A: No you can’t get them too close because only one of the ceiling braces can’t hold both units. If you could attach the brace parallel and pick up two studs this may work. Also understand that the screws extend beyond the frames. There would have to be a gap between the units. It’s possible but you need to be creative. Good luck. Think outside the box. **Q: The minimum states 22", but I need it to go 20". Could it it modified to support a shallower shelf? Maybe remove the extensions altogether?** A: Yes but you will need to cut the vertical straps the shelf hangs from yourself. The minimum depth is based on the length of the vertical steel straps out of the box. You will need a hacksaw or saws-all. If you are comfortable using hand/power tools it would not be a big deal. **Q: How much do I need to cut on the plywood so it slides easily into the slots allotted? I have 2x4 sections but find that the 4ft section needs trimming** A: If you install the rack correctly it will fit a 4' x 8' sheet of plywood without trimming ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect solution for a custom overhead storage project *by S***E on March 24, 2021* This is a build I have been wanting to do for over a year...

These units arrive un-assembled and it’s highly recommended that you read the instructions before attempting to assemble it. You’ll need to purchase1/2”- 3/4” plywood as well as the bolts to attach the plywood to the frame. They offer self-tapping screws for attaching the plywood but I chose bolts, just to add more rigidity to the unit. I installed ours under a sloping roof to our carport and I did it alone, so I recommend buying some pizza and beer to get the next door neighbor over for assistance. The frame is extremely strong, once the plywood is attached to reinforce it. I think I could continue to fill it and the roof would come down from the weight before the unit came apart. Note: Their recommended load is no more than 600 lbs. I’m so used to having the storage unit that I don’t even notice it anymore. But, it’s been able to hold all of our outside storage needs for years. It was unused space above our heads and now it’s storage space. The alternative was to rent space and for the cost of the unit (and my free labor) we have a forever storage space and no monthly cost associated with it. I highly recommend this robust and sturdy overhead storage solution. As I said, it will require some labor to finish the unit, but it was worth it to us. nb. I’m 75 years old and installed it myself, so you younger people should have no problem assembling it. ## Frequently Bought Together - FLEXIMOUNTS 4x8 Overhead Garage Storage Rack without Decking,Garage Storage Organization System,Heavy Duty Metal Garage Ceiling Storage Racks,600lbs Weight Capacity,Black - FLEXIMOUNTS 2 Pack Add On Storage Utility Hook Accessory for Garage Ceiling Rack, Black - FLEXIMOUNTS 4x8 Overhead Garage Storage Rack, Adjustable Garage Storage Organization Systerm, Heavy Duty Metal Garage Ceiling Storage Racks, 600lbs Weight Capacity, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/220423997-fleximounts-4x8-overhead-garage-storage-rack-without-decking-storage-organization](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/220423997-fleximounts-4x8-overhead-garage-storage-rack-without-decking-storage-organization) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
