The space over my garage would be wasted without something like this. Especially bc I have a support beam in that area too. I got this one because I saw it approved by Mike Holmes, it has a heavier load capacity and I liked the length of the supports which ended up making it easy to install. I probably measured more than I needed to, but it turned out great. The 27” length was ideal for the space over my garage door. My joists are 24” and it just worked out. For the instructions, they were mostly good but could have been a little more clear in areas or gave tips. For one it uses 46.3 inches and 94.3 for measurements. what is “.3” of an inch? I used a touch more than 5/16, but 5/16 would be good. As it turned out it just needed the holes for the drop down bars to be available under these measurements, something to watch out for bc you can bolt or space the support bar in a lot of ways with the length and number of holes in the bars (one of my drop down holes was slightly off bc it just wasn’t something I was thinking about but it makes sense when you start putting the drop down supports up). I put one side support brackets on one joist (parallel) and the other side perpendicular which gave room to slide left and right and back and forth if needed. I also put nails in my marks for the 4 corners and used a chalk string tied tightly around the nails to mark my straight lines to measure from. The long side does not sit under the 96” joist, it’s couple inches short of that so just make sure when you put the support bracket up there is a whole for the drop down bars to go into at the 94.3 mark. Oh and my wife helped otherwise I would have been up and down the ladder a lot and the long sides would have been difficult to measure and probably install. Thats about it. I have another side of my garage that will probably get another one of these unless we come up with something creative.
