Installing Costco 4x8 SafeRacks for Overhead Garage Storage (Save $700+tax!)

In this video, join me while I install two 4x8 Costco SafeRacks above the garage door rails in my garage. Doing this saved $700+tax over scheduling a SafeRacks installer.

What a helpful video, I really liked the "I don't know what I'm doing" warning - I also don't know what I'm doing, so I appreciate you taking the learning hits for me instead of assuming I'd get everything right the first time. Thanks!

[@CharlieAlbrightPianist]

Haha we’re all learning together here! 🤣

[@SabiBisceglia]

I want to thank you, as the instructions for this thing were very non specific. (Likely to avoid getting sued if someone messes up.) Between you and 2 other videos I was able to better pallet what I was doing.

[@CharlieAlbrightPianist]

Thanks, @SabiBisceglia! I clearly didn't know what I was doing, but thought I'd document it in case it might help someone else while they tried too! Be sure to sub for more, and thank you for your support! 😄

[@jaihind8818]

Thank you for the details video. I was not sure if I can do it myself or not but now i'm definity going to give a try. My only concern is can I install the overhead storage under the i-joists which are in my garage? Thanks.

[@CharlieAlbrightPianist]

Thanks for your comment! I'm not sure about the answer to your question, so I'd recommend you check out the instructions first to make sure it's safe and possible to mount them where/how you're planning to (usually, you can view them right from the Costco website). Be sure to sub for more, and thank you for your support, @jaihind8818! 😄

Trying to set these up myself. My joists run the same as yours and im trying to figure iut if i xan get longer brakets so i can run the rack length wise instead of width, otherwise like you mounting it against the beam widthwise

[@CharlieAlbrightPianist]

Ah, interesting! Not sure if it's mountable that way, but keep me posted on what you find out! Be sure to sub, and thanks for your support! 😄

Did you have any issues hammering down the 8’ sides all the way down key hole ? Mine aren’t seating all the way and I’m wailing on them. And tips ? Do they just not go all the way? I already made sure everything was at 90 degrees and level

[@CharlieAlbrightPianist]

I don't think all of mine seated 100% perfectly. They are supposed to and should seat all the way in, but I don't think I could get all of mine to do so. Be sure to sub for more, and thanks for your support! 😄

It is actually only $149 per rack for install in the Seattle area. The price quoted it for the rack and install provided by Safe Racks.

[@specialkfilms6263]

It also only takes an hour for the Safe Racks guy to install two of them.

[@CharlieAlbrightPianist]

Good to know. When I installed them, they were $700+tax for installation. Now it looks like it’s about $300+tax. Thanks for the update! 😄

[@bhavyabhat1276]

Thanks for your video. Wish I had seen your instructions on setting up this earlier. We had someone hired for fixing this and looks like they did a wrong job. I see vertical posts not fixed in between the lag screws that’s on the ceiling. He fixed the posts on the very edge of that horizontal ceiling. I got to know that only after he left! I wanted to know is that still okay to use the rack? I see the the caution msg in your video, that’s really concerning me :(

[@CharlieAlbrightPianist]

Thanks for your comment! I recommend making sure that the instructions are followed thoroughly...if you think he did it incorrectly, maybe have them come back out? Be sure to sub for more, and thanks again for your support! 😄

$299.99 After $190 OFF SafeRacks Overhead Garage Storage Combo Kit, Two 4 ft. x 8 ft. Racks, 18-piece Deluxe Hook Accessory Pack Valid 3/28/23 through 4/26/23.

[@CharlieAlbrightPianist]

👍 That's the price I got it at awhile ago. In my area, installation through the Costco Saferacks link was ~$700+tax so if you're able to do it yourself, you can save quite a bit! Be sure to sub, and thanks for your support! 😄

[@vcf4]

Which drop down range did you get ?

[@CharlieAlbrightPianist]

I went for the 18-33 inch one. Be sure to sub for more, and thanks for your support! 😄
