I'd like to meet this Mar individual.

You already have...

Jabjab is related to Mar in some capacity and you can't convince me otherwise.

Fuck.
You're right. You have to be right.

Put a 2' deep shelf up on brackets such as these fastened into the studs and you'll have no issues.

Somewhat related - anyone found a good solution for getting larger/heavier truck tires off the floor in the garage?

Have historically used the typical Canadian Tire wall mounted tire racks for my cars and been happy with them, but I'm not seeing any rated for the weights or diameters of larger truck tires.

Are you talking f150 or f450 ?

More in the F-150 range, they're for a 4Runner - they're not crazy wide, but they're close to 33" in diameter and a lot heavier than my car wheels. Would have to check the exact wheels weights.

I realize this is a time issue but I feel like these shelves from Costco are what you're looking for and you could install them fairly quickly with an impact driver.

I was just looking at this option yesterday except on the home depot site. These ones at Costco are the same but cheaper too.

I think I might go with these, they look nicer than wood shelves and then I can install myself. Thank you for the link

How much do they weigh? I used a 300 lb wall rack for my Tacoma E-Rated and was fine.. probably was pretty close to 300 lbs with 4 tires and rims

I wouldn't trust the Cdn Tire wall tire racks for big weights... they're shitty knockoffs of Hyloft tire racks (which are way stronger, come with hardware and have lots of ability to adjust to different stud spacing).

Yeah mine were the same as the hi loft and came with lag bolts and were expandable in length

$100? Dope.

Not directly for you - but why do people understate costs?

Too many people say this is $100 instead of 110.

Noticed the same thing when people discuss cars they’ll say $38k, when it’s $38,976 or what have you.

End rant - should be in the pet peeves thread.

[msommers]

As someone who deals with cost estimating a lot, it just comes with the territory to round things to easy numbers. Clients often want nearest hundred, nearest thousand, whatever.

I have these and they're awesome. Store a crap ton of stuff up there, relatively easy to install as well.

Does yours have the three supporting brackets or just on the edges?

Some folks smarter than me advised against shelves hanging from the ceiling but instead from the walls.

This is true. One is not supposed to load the bottom chord of trusses vertically. I think it's mainly because they are already heavily loaded in tension. There's nerd math about why that's bad.

I spoke to a gorgeous man with an enormous hog and a fancy car who told me to "stop being such a faggot" about such things and I ended up hanging my 80-lb, thoroughly vibrating air compressor overtop of one of my cars in a previous house. Nothing bad happened.

I think it's generally acceptable because house designs are more about reducing deflection than approaching the yield limits of materials, and you're going to (unless Corky) notice deflection long before you approach yield.

*Not engineering advise.
LoL!
