MonsterRax 2x8 White

I was on the fence when it came down to ordering this brand as I have another brand for my 4x8's but they don't offer a 2x8 Solution. So I pulled the trigger and order the MonsterRax option. I am not sure where others have had issues putting this unit together, but for us it was an easy install and all the instructions matched perfectly. Secondly, the look is better given the bottom has a "lip" that is thicker than the competition. So I very much prefer the bold look of the MonsterRax vs the other unit I have. I have no worries about its sturdiness what so ever. The shipping, yes, that was annoying. It ships in two packages rather than one- first you get the brackets (ours came two days after order) and than you get the wire racks. The seller was responsive when we had the issue and they did what they could. My only wish was the unit did not ship in two boxes or at least that the shipping notifications show that ahead of time. But, that should not change the rating of the product. Overall very satisfied and happy we got them.

Loved the first 3X6 I purchased, I purchased two 2X8 for my garage and when my husband saw how useful they were he asked me to order two more for his garage. The 2X8 work very well on the perimeter of the garages where access is only available from one side. In a prior home we used 4X8 units where both sides were accessible as they were installed in the middle of the garage ceiling.

Great product! It has helped me organize my garage. Keeping everything up and out of the way! One of the best engineered racks out the . Very heavy duty!. Im 190 and easily did pull ups hanging from it!

The instructions are a little confusing.... you have to use some common sense. After you install the brackets to the studs, it's easy. that said getting the brackets in the right spot is a bit of a challenge. Measure twice, drill once!

We love this unit so much we bought a second one. It is well made and sturdy, and helps keep our garage in order. My husband put it up himself and said it would be easier to do with a second set of hands but it’s manageable doing it alone.

Great quality. Look great. A little time consuming to put together but worth it. Huge savings in money from letting professionals do it.

Worked Super. Just make sure you have a stud finder, drill, wrenches, etc. But if you follow the directions carefully, it will be a nice addition to help organize.

I’m not sure if there was a design change to reduce shipping costs but the manual says I should have (2) 96” side beams for my 2x8 rack. This is how the one I have from a few years ago is. But this new one I have a box that has (4) 48” pieces I’d assume for the side beams that have to be put together to make the 96”?? The manual says nothing about this and by the time I use the bolts to put these (4) 48” beams together I will not have enough bolts to attach the rack to the vertical rails even only using 4 per and leaving the two center holes for the center beam. I lowered the sturdiness rating because I don’t know if it will hold as much as the older ones with the solid 96” beam will like the manual
