24" fits the short side of rack and 48" cord goes on the long side..

That's a good idea... probably have to buy two for each side for the lower tier and the upper tier of storage bins.

How was the service with your installer? I really like our guy because he was very helpful in telling us where we should put them and he even installed some bike hooks on our ceiling for me (in addition to the ones we bought to go with the racks).

I totally agree about the claustrophobia... that's why we had ours split into two sides.

The amount of storage space it adds to your garage is amazing... I should have done this YEARS ago (but I guess I was still dreaming about my 3CWG).

Craig is the owner/installer/designer of these racks.. He was friendly.. but I did have to tell him to spackle the holes left in my friend's garage after he was done taking them down (friend wasn't home).  Slight B.O. issue but it wasn't in confined spaces .. He did tend to bash some of the other "600 lbs only" racks.. Said the market is flooded with inferior products... Vendors cutting corners by reducing the amount of steel in the supports, etc.  He said he has installed over 9000 racks and not a single one has come down....

Hopefully it's true..

As your cousin PS2012 said, try Bed and Beyond... they usually have extra long panels.

IKEA also has long panels (they give you a kit to adjust the length) but not sure if they are 11 feet high.

IHO, you asked me if threw a dart in the U.S. Map and it hit Johns Creek and I decided to move here. You want to hear the real story? You actually may find this story to be funny, but actually I was praying one day in 2010 and the Lord lead me to a passage in Genesis 12 : 1. The Lord had said to Panda, " Leave your country, your people, and your father's households and go to the land I will show you." So I drew a line with a black pen on a U.S. Map from Chicago to Irvine, but the Lord drew a new line from Chicago to Johns Creek.... and I said.. OK, Johns Creek it is. The next morning, I told Ms. Panda, we are not moving to Irvine, we are moving to Johns Creek. 

I may not be as "religious" as you... but are you telling me you had a Moses experience? That the hand of God came down, picked up a Sharpie and drew a AAA TripTik route?

Maybe you are being a bit hyperbolic... I understand your life is driven by your faith, but that can't be the whole story. I feel you are slightly insulting everyone's intelligence by saying you picked Johns Creek just based on statistical comparison to Irvine and divine intervention.

I've dropped hints based on why I think you ended up choosing a city near Duluth, GA... but we'll all find out in our next life.

@Trace: Johns Creek is a cooler name than you think... it shares the same initials with the coolest person in history.

Gonna give this place a shot today.. Hope it's good!

Woops my mistake
