Installation Time: Approximately 15 minutes
Important: Read through entire instructions before beginning any installation.
Locate the ceiling joists in the area of desired installation and determine the direction in which they
are running. The ceiling mounting plates on Downrods (A) are installed parallel to the ceiling joists.
Refer to the diagram below for additional installation clarification.
1. Install Downrods
Using a stud-finder
locate any 2 joists at
the best distance for
your storage items
Ceiling Joist
1A:
Place Downrod (A) against ceiling under joist location and mark holes running parallel with the joist.
Pre-drill each hole location using a 3/16" drill bit. Rub some bar soap or add a drop of liquid soap to the
threads of the lag screws to ease installation. Install Downrod (A) using a socket wrench or nut driver
and two (1) 5/16" x 2-1/2" Lag Screws (F). DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
1B:
From the outside edge of the ceiling mounting plate of the Downrod (A) just installed, measure from
28" to 38" (depending on size of storage area desired) inches along ceiling joist and mark this location.
This mark will be the OUTSIDE edge of the second ceiling mounting plate of the second Downrod (A).
Install second Downrod (A) and make sure it lines up with the first Downrod (A) installed on the joist.
Repeat to install the remaining (2) Downrods on a joist which can vary in distance apart from the first
joist (depending on the size of items to be stored).
2. Install Corner Rods & Support Bars
2A:
Assemble Corner Rods (B&C) to each of the Support Bars (D&E) by sliding one inside the other as
shown. Determine the length down from the ceiling you want the unit to hang (from 17" to 26").
2B:
Attach the Corner Rod (B&C) and Support Bar (D&E) assembly to Downrods (A) at the predetermined
length using (2) 1/4" x 1-1/4" Hex Bolts (G) and (2) Flange Nuts (H) for each connection to all Downrods
(A) using a wrench or nut driver. Adjust width and fasten Support Bars (D&E) to each other and to
Corner Rods (B&C) with (2) Flange Nuts (H) at each connection. Be sure to install the second support
bar assembly parallel and in line with the first support bar assembly.

IMPORTANT: Do not over-tighten the Lag Screws (max 10 ft. lbs.).
They only need to be fully seated, no more. Do not use an impact driver.
IMPORTANT: Downrods must
be mounted perfectly in line
and square to each other.
