Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why did the Penthouse Storage Solutions, Inc. earn two U.S. patents?
→ Answer: Because ARackAbove introduced a storage system that had never existed before — a completely freestanding, tension-braced overhead rack that requires no ceiling or wall attachment. The design uses vertical compression between floor and ceiling to create a stable support structure, solving the long-standing problem of unsafe ceiling-mounted storage. That innovation earned U.S. Patents 10,646,035 B1 and 10,905,234 B1.
2. Does ARackAbove damage my ceiling or walls?
This is our core differentiator versus ceiling-mounted racks.
→Answer: No! No drilling, No screws, No truss penetration — ARackAbove is completely freestanding, with 3" leveling feet that gently tension up against the ceiling. No holes, No damage, No stress.
3. Why is ARackAbove safer than ceiling-mounted racks?
→ Answer: ARackAbove keeps your feet on the ground — no climbing ladders with heavy bins, no risk of ceiling failure. ARackAbove is floor-supported, not hanging overhead, and positioned for safe access from both sides.
4. Will ARackAbove fit my garage?
→ Answer: Yes. It’s fully adjustable to fit one-car, two-car and three-car garages, with leg extensions that adapt to different ceiling heights and a shelf that sets to your desired height.
5. Will ARackAbove work in a standard 8.5-foot garage?
→Answer: Yes. Most totes are 17–18" tall. Even at 6'2", you’ll easily clear the rail.
6. Where does ARackAbove get assembled?
Answer: ARackAbove spans the width of the garage. It stands directly on the garage floor, between the garage door opener and the front wall, and can be positioned anywhere in that space. No ladders, no ceiling work — just assemble the H-assemblies on the floor and gently tension them against the floor and ceiling.
7. Can I assemble ARackAbove myself?
→Answer: Yes. If you can operate a wrench, a drill, and a level, you can assemble ARackAbove. No ladders needed, and most homeowners knock it out in less than a couple of hours.
8. How much weight can ARackAbove hold?
Answer: Up to 2,000 lbs. That’s bins, bikes, boxes, tools, and holiday storage — all at once. Built to handle all of it without flinching.
9. How many bins can ARackAbove hold?
→Answer: In a standard 18–20' wide garage, you can store up to 30 large Costco-style bins back to back on the fully accessible shelf.
10. Do I need to have that pole in my garage?
→Answer: Yes & No — it’s what makes the rack so strong. In garages wider than 13.5 feet, ARackAbove uses a single slim support pole (under 1.5"). This allows ARackAbove to safely hold 2,000 lbs. The FlexBeam lets you slide it left or right for car clearance and walking space. It’s wrapped with reflective tape, and customers forget it’s even there.
11. Can I take ARackAbove with us if we move?
→ Answer: Yes. It disassembles easily and moves with you — a one-time investment you’ll never leave behind. No other storage solution gives you our lifetime convenience.
