Review on 🚗 HyLoft Folding TireLoft 01031 - Space-Saving Storage Solution by Luca Washington

Ah, HyLoft folding floor. I just installed one on the garage wall and here are some tips. First of all, you need longer screws. The included 3-inch cleats might work if you stock 13-inch Honda wheels that weigh 25 pounds each. You lose an inch of lag screw bite just because of the 1-inch frame tube. Depending on what wall finish you have you could lose another 1/2" if you have drywall for example, so your 3" lagged screws were reduced to 1 1/2". I used 5" lugs to hang the frame so I had at least 3 1/2" screws in the studs. If you're hanging this on finished drywall, here's another trick. Mark the locations where the frame holes will be drilled, using the frame as a guide. I then use 1" washers in the 1" hole drilled with a hole saw to fill in the space between the storage frame and the posts (DRILL JUST DEEP ENOUGH TO GO THROUGH THE DRYPSBOARD AND NOT INTO THE PROUDS ). This will keep the drywall from collapsing and the frame won't come loose or fall off the wall and hide the washers under the frame so no one will ever know how smart you are. The result is a secure frame to wall studs through 1" holes filled with weight transfer washers. I've used this trick to install everything from garage door tracks to anything that can break drywall. the instructions are quite simple. I deducted a star because of the thin frame tubes. I have four 20" wheels on the rack and they are holding up well. Photos show holes drilled, holes with washers, frame assembled, finished job.
