Redeeming Space: Overhead Garage Storage Systems by Steve B Brown, Ph.D.
Benefits of Overhead Garage Storage
Want to gain nearly as much overhead garage storage space as your garage has floor space, save money on outside storage fees, create more room to park your car and bring order back to your site?
Overhead garage storage products will utilize vertical space you never knew you had and keep things off the ground and out of the way. Installation is pretty easy, which means organization becomes easier, too.
Some come with pulley hoist devices making raising and lowering a loading platform to the ceiling a snap. Safety is assured by sturdy brackets, racks and safety locks holding the load in place.
Here are 3 options that should fit the size, weight and character of whatever you want to store.
Overhanging Wire Storage
It’ll free up at least 40 cubic feet of space! This is a simple wire rack product that hangs from hooks and that is suitable for a stacking a lot of bulky items. It’s suitable for Christmas trees, boxes of seasonal clothing, bikes, whatever and holds up to 250 pounds.
It was designed to be easy to install and one person can have it up and useable in a few minutes. As for tools, you normally need only a drill and a screwdriver. All the accessories come with it in a box.
Shelving Hangers Solutions for Heavier Loads
You’ll gain a ton of extra storage space quickly and inexpensively because this sturdy overhead type holds up to 1,400 pounds and is easy to install. You could also use it in your basement or shed or even in a large attic.
As to its size, the shelf which holds the load is about 2 feet wide and 10-12 feet long.
Only the wire and screw eye anchors are provided, but Home Depot or Lowes will rip you a plywood shelf at no or minimal charge for the ripping. Make sure you screw the eye anchors into the wood beams above the ceiling not just into the sheet rock.
Heavy Duty- Pulley System
When it comes time to bring out the winter or summer clothing, you may have to climb around a bit, unless you choose this heavy-duty pulley system. It’s designed to raise and lower items up to 250 pounds with minimal effort and will give you about 16 square feet of extra storage space.
Load the steel 4 x 4 platform and host away easily by cranking the handle. It’s great for boxes, tires, large tools, snow blowers, ladders, lumber, even canoes, kayaks and more.
Final Thoughts: Looking Up
These are but three of the many types of overhead garage storage units that provide a creative answer to your storage problem.
For small garages, it’s an answer to a prayer. What an improvement over boxes stacked against the walls or on your work bench!

Apollo 12 Mission Patch $4.95 4 inch patch. The Apollo 12 mission was the first opportunity in the scientific exploration of the Moon to sample extensively the rocks within half a kilometer of the landing site. Click here to visit the NASA Apollo 12 History site.Command Module Pilot Richard Gordon Jr. remained in lunar orbit as the Apollo 12 Lunar Module landed on the northwest rim of the Surveyor Crater in the Ocean of Storms. The landing site was at 23 degrees 4 minutes west longitude and 3 degrees 2 minutes south latitude, approximately 120 kilometers (75 miles) southeast of Lansberg Crater and due north of the center of Mare Cognitum. The landing site is near a ray associated with the Copernicus Crater, which is approximately 370 kilometers (230 miles) to the north, and is characterized by a distinctive cluster of craters ranging from 50 to 400 meters in diameter.During two moon walks totaling 7 hours and 45 minutes, the astronauts collected lunar soil and additional surface samples along a geologic traverse. Commander Charles Conrad Jr. and Lunar Module Pilot Alan Bean obtained material from the bottom of a shallow trench and brought back several items from the Surveyor 3 spacecraft. The astronauts caught some of the solar wind in an aluminum foil, and they took photographs of the lunar surface and crew activities with 70-mm Hasselblad cameras and a close-up stereoscopic camera. |

Shepard. Spending nearly 10 hours on the moon in February 1971 Shepard and Lunar Module pilot Edgar Mitchell conducted a wide range of scientific experiments including Shepard?s unplanned test of the flight of a golf ball in lunar gravity.

The docking and rendezvous techniques he devised for spacecraft in Earth and lunar orbit became critical to the success of the Gemini and Apollo programs, and are still used today. He also pioneered underwater training techniques, as a substitute for zero gravity flights, to simulate spacewalking.Then, on July 20, 1969, Buzz and Neil Armstrong made their historic Apollo 11 moonwalk, becoming the first two humans to set foot on another world. They spent 21 hours on the lunar surface and returned with 46 pounds of moon rocks. The largest worldwide television audience ? an estimated 600 million people, witnessed this unprecedented heroic endeavor. |

Creating Space $30.95 Creating Space The Story of the Space Age Told Through ModelsThe Heavens – and trying to get there – have always intrigued man, and have been included in our artwork throughout all of history. In recent years they have been the subject of countless books, articles, radio and television shows and films, and have more and more featured the practical method of achieving these dreams – Spaceships. Creating Space takes us on a journey through the history of the space age, up to the present and beyond. From the advent of the “space race” with the V-2 rocket of World War II to the International Space Station and the future, a complete and detailed chronicling of vehicles is given, side by side with pictures and details of models that depict the multitude of aircraft and spacecraft developed throughout the world.In addition, extensive appendices provide details of all of the space-related models ever made and the many manufacturers and distributors who have supplied them – all in the words of an experienced professional insider. Mat Irvine worked in the BBC Visual Effects Department for 20 years, contributing to many projects including Doctor Who, Blake’s 7, Edge of Darkness, the various NASA flights, and many science and space-oriented documentaries and programs. Creating Space is presented in 12 chapters which logically group together the history, the vehicles and the models into logical and meaningful categories. This book will be equally valuable to space enthusiasts, modellers, and space historians. |

Sex In Space $17.95 Sex In Space by Laura S. Woodmansee, author of Women Astronauts and Women of SpaceAs hoteliers design zero-gravity hotel suites for out-of-this-world unions and with the first honeymoon in space already scheduled, this provocative account reveals the truth about romantic rendezvous in Earth’s orbit and beyond as well as the advantages and difficulties of having sex in space. Questions the space agencies are too embarrassed to discuss ? such as Has anyone “done it” in space? What will happen to the first baby conceived in space? and Have astronauts and cosmonauts practiced “docking maneuvers” while in orbit? ? are thoughtfully answered, while science-fiction myths about interstellar intercourse are dispelled. From chemistry to psychology, this exploration runs the reproductive and sexual gamut, from lust and sexual mechanics to conception, pregnancy, and birth in low-gravity situations. This title may not be suitable for all audiences. Parental guidance suggested. FEATURES: Paperback: 136 pages Publisher: Collector’s Guide Publishing, Inc.

The Conquest of Space $23.95 The Conquest of Space by David Lasser with a new introduction by Sir Arthur C. ClarkeDavid Lasser stands as one of the least-known but extraordinary pioneers of spaceflight. In 1930 he founded the American Interplanetary Society – the same year he wrote this book – the first book ever written in the English language to address the notion of spaceflight as a serious possibility. This book has not been in print since 1931 and yet it still stands up to scrutiny. The lucid style with which Lasser explains the basic concepts of rocketry make it a delight for anyone to read. Only a handful of errors creep into the text and all of those were based on the best information available at the time. The Conquest of Space is a milestone work of spaceflight literature and was state of the art in 1931. No space enthusiast’s library is complete without it. Here is what Sir Arthur C. Clarke had to say about The Conquest of Space… “My encounter with The Conquest of Space, soon after its publication in 1931, was one of the turning points in my life, and I suspect, not only of mine�” FEATURES: Hardcover: 192 pages Publisher: Collector’s Guide Publishing Inc (September 1, 2002) Language: English Book Dimensions: 9.8 x 6.8 x 0.9 inches |
