[QUOTE="quad, post: 16074582, member: 17952"] What are the size of the garage ceiling joists? If the rafters are 2x4 then the joist are also probably 2x4? What length do they span and are they 16" o.c.? You would not want to add a lot of storage weight to that depending on the span. Our attic has 2x6 rafters with 2x4 ceiling joists or rafter ties. But our roof is steep and these 2x4's only span about 7'-6" - 8'-0". I added 1x4's and plywood over that and some rigid insulation but I don't feel comfortable storing a lot of heavier items up there. If they were 2x6 or 2x8s I would have felt a lot more comfortable about it. [MEDIA=youtube]cTW1wsmakA4[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
