The storage rack ceiling brackets can be positioned parallel
or perpendicular to the wood ceiling joists/rafters. Determine
the application required for your desired installation. If drywall
covers the joists, use a stud finder to determine the joist/rafter
locations and mark with masking tape. For applications requiring
installation of the brackets perpendicular to the joists/rafters, the
maximum distance between them is 24". The brackets included
allow for a 24" maximum span. See figure for typical ceiling
layouts. Mark the location of the ceiling brackets on the joists/
rafters or drywall, making sure the vertical supports can be
positioned between the lag bolts used to attach the brackets.
Position the center of the brackets on a 24"/48" grid as required.
