I heard about a small company in Gnadenhutten, OH called Tusco Display, a company with over 50 years of experience in making point of purchase displays for retail.  They also made this productSky Hook it is a patented storage system that incorporates pairs of six foot rails and then pairs of brackets in 12 or 16 inch depths to hold a wooden shelf you cut to length! Even a guy like me can rip a piece of lumber. The unique thing is they have a two pronged hook that goes into the cap plate in top of garage interior wall. The rails are slotted and the brackets are made to such a spec that they fit together with machined precision. I didn't even need any tools to install them. It took me longer to pick them up round trip than it did to install them.

I have a large garage an needed a way to get my stuff off the floor and organized. I am not a carpenter and had no idea where to start to even build wooden shelves. I looked at lots of stuff at Lowe's, Home Depot, and even the HUGE store Menard's. I just wasn't happy with anything I looked at. Not to mention most of it was made in some foreign country. In these economic times I really wanted to buy American to support OUR economy.

So here is the deal. They are selling this stuff by the pound! Crazy you say, oh I agree. But Tusco Display wants to move this inventory out of their warehouse and into your house. You will need buy in a minumum quantity: the rails in a package of 10 and the brackets in cartons of 50. SO for less than $25.00 you get 5 set of 10 shelves, try and get that kind of stuff at the dollar store!

Call them at 740.254.4343 and when you get the company phone system, press "0" and tell them you want to order some Sky Hook.  It's that simple.

am always on the lookout for shelving and organizational items for my home.
Garage shelving is a pretty broad topic though.  So I am attaching several different kinds that I have used in my garage.
You will want to keep in mind the amount of weight you will be putting on the shelves, in additon to where you need the shelves to go.
