Upon first glance of the
competitions anchor, doesn't it
look crude as compared to the Skyshelves anchor ? What's the need to
bolt a gaudy angle iron to
the ceiling if you could have a sleek looking anchor like the
Skyshelves anchor ? Especially considering that the competition needs
to drill one extra hole into the ceiling. The Skyshelves anchor is
better looking, more
practical, it's easier to install, it consumes less space, you drill
one less hole and
it has a higher weight bearing capacity. What's not to love ?
Which anchor would you rather have in your home ?

If
you go into almost any commercial building and look up at the ceiling,
what you will see is the duct systems being supported by all thread
support arms, just like the Skyshelves support arm you see here on the left . You won't see angle
iron support systems like the competition uses on the right. Why ? Because angle iron supports are inadequate,
impractical, not cost effective and they consume more space. The
Skyshelves support is smaller, more practical, more cost effective,
easier to use, higher quality, better looking, and it has a higher
weight bearing capacity. What's not to love ?

Upon first glance doesn't the competitions shelf look gaudy as compared to the smooth surface of the Skyshelf ? The competitions shelf looks like someone tore the grill
off of a Sherman tank and bolted it to their ceiling doesn't it ? It's overkill! Whatever happened to simplicity ? One of the great things about
Skyshelves is that you can use whatever shelving material you want. When we do custom jobs we
use a melamine coated particleboard (pictured). For mail order kits you can use plywood or whatever you may have
hanging out in the woodshed . One
of the issues you'll run into with the competitions open wire
mesh shelf is
that the lips and edges of boxes get caught in the wire as your
trying to slide
stuff around on it, it's troublesome, and smaller items can fall
through. The smooth surface of the Skyshelf eliminates both those
issues, isn't that a more practical design ? Skyshelves makes for
smooth
sailing, they're simple and non-complicated. They're
more practical, less costly and are easier for the homeowner to install
should they choose to do so themselves. What's not to love ?

Here are a few other oppositional negatives.
That
Skyshelves would turn into a positive which you might want to consider. |  | See
this shelf to the left here ? It's in a corner. See how the 3 corners
against the wall are supported from the ceiling? This is an unnecessary
step and an improper way to support this shelf. This shelf would get
laughed off of most commercial projects. At the point where a shelf
would have contact with a wall, what you would then want to do is to
transfer the weight of that shelf, from the ceiling to the wall itself,
and eliminate those three back arms, by either bolting the shelf to the
wall itself or connecting the shelf to the top of a ledger which is
bolted to the wall. Doesn't that make more sense? To a trained eye this is an unprofessional looking
shelf. You would never
see a
Skyshelves overhead storage unit that's placed in a corner looking like
this. The Skyshelves system is a more practical and professional
system. Skyshelves are a smarter design |  | Do
you see where these two shelves to the left meet one another? Each shelf has an
independent arm and the two arms meet one another, then they both share
the same angle iron support. Wouldn't a more proper design be for these
two shelves to share the same arm where they meet? When two Skyshelf
sections meet, they share the same supporting arm.
If this were a
Skyshelf you would see one sleek looking arm connected to the ceiling,
it's more practical and more professional looking. In addition to
Skyshelves being a more efficient and handsome design,
they are less bulky and more homeowner friendly. A Skyshelves arm would
be consuming 1/2" of space rather than the 2-1/2" of space you see
consumed here. And wouldn't you agree that sometimes those extra couple of inches make all the
difference ?
Skyshelves are a smarter design. |
| The
5
factors most important to consider are, practicability, cost,
appearance, quality and ease of installation. Complete some research of
the market and you'll see about
a half dozen different companies that are marketing
some form of a metal grid system.You'll see a bunch of shelves on
steroids.They all appear relatively the same in shape, size and
appearance, and all of them are the self proclaimed industry
leader. You'll see similar type products that all have minuscule
differences from one another and all are claiming to be unique, they
put their own little twist on it for the purpose of writing a patent. The
industry has become full of rhetoric and much more
complex and complicated than it needs to be. Skyshelves are a smarter
and less complicated design. Skyshelves deliver equal or higher weight
bearing capacity and cubic feet of storage, they're prettier, more
practical, easier to install, more versatile and less expensive! |
