Before beginning the unit installation, decide where it will work best for you above the open garage
door (if room allows) or beyond the open door.
If installing above the open garage door: at least 17” of open space is required
between the highest point of door as measured during its upward travel and the ceiling.
Locate the ceiling joists in the area of desired installation and determine the direction in which they are
running. In order to adequately disperse the stored load, you should install not more than two HyLoft
units on any two ceiling joists. The ceiling Angle Brackets are installed parallel to the ceiling joists.
Refer to the diagram below or photos on the package for additional installation clarification.
