4' x 4' & 4' x 8' instructions
Tools needed Drill, drill bits-1/8" & 1/2", ratchet, sockets-5/8"or (16mm)- 9/16"or(14mm), wrench, vice grip, tape measure, ladder, stud finder, pencil. Instructions Shelving material is a matter of personal preference, particle board,
plywood or melamine can all be used, no less than 5/8" thickness is
recommended, 4x4' and 4x8' sheets can be purchased at most
building material outlets. (1) Mark where you want your Skyshelf to go. Layout where the anchors will go into the ceiling by locating with a stud finder the
exact center of the truss, rafter or joist where the Skyshelf will
be anchored. It is important that you land on exact center for proper
installation. Layout of the anchors is recommended to be no less than 24" or
more than 32" in width, whichever adapts to your
particular layout. Layout can be modified to suit need. Mirror the marks
from the ceiling onto the shelving material, all holes should be no
less than 3/4" from outside edge of shelving material.
(2) Drill holes. Pre-drill 1/8" pilot holes into the ceiling marks and drill 1/2" holes
into the shelving material marks.
Note: Before drilling holes into the shelving material place the channel struts over the shelving material to make sure the holes you are about to drill will fit within the holes in the channel strut, in case of an uneven match-up, simply off set the holes in the shelving material to match the channel strut holes. (3) Install anchors. With the 5/8"(16mm) socket, drive the anchors into the
ceiling until snug.
(4) Install arms. Screw the all thread rods into anchors by hand then hold the anchor
steady with
a crescent wrench while clamping the all thread with a vice grip and tightening until snug. (5) Install nut. Screw a nut onto the all threads until there is 2" of all thread underneath the nut.
(6) Install Skyshelf. With the assistance of typically another human you need to now worm the rods through the shelving material holes. Note: make sure you place a washer
between the already connected nut and the top of the shelving material as you do
this. Do two holes
at a time, poke the rods through and put a washer and nut on underneath to temporarily hold shelving material repeat the procedure on the other side, except this time connect the channel strut underneath, install washer and nut, repeat on opposite side.Tighten nuts. 4' x 4' instructions: Are identical to 4x4' instructions with the addition of an extra channel strut. Upgrades: There are a couple of ways to upgrade a Skyshelf (1) Install sway bracing. Angle iron used to support garage door rails is recommended. Bracing can go at 45° or horizontally to connect to an area with solid backing. (2) Install plastic sleeves on to rods between steps 4 and 5. 3/8" inside diameter hose can be found at most hardware stores, 1/2" can be substituted if 3/8" proves to difficult. (3) Height can be modified by cutting off remaining rod with a grinder. In case of a problem do not return to place of purchase,
