  100% agree.
Even to this day -- I utilize the ceiling for storage space -- stuff I rarely used gets hauled up on braided steel wire rope..... and stashed up high and out of the way. That's easier in my all metal framed building but can still safely be done in yours too. I use a lot of my old boat tricks for hauling and securing... and the lighter stuff gets hauled up on high quality boat lines and blocks etc then just secured just like on a boat. Need the stuff down -- just 'unfurl' it.... or hoist it aloft! HAHAHAHAHA
I've also found these cheap ($125?) electric (110V) HOISTS at Harbor freight that I use for sky storage for like my hydraulic wheel dollies and stuff... very handy! |
Some good ideas thank you, I am thinking about putting a shelf about 10' high along one wall that will hold plastic "totes" for all of the parts and stuff that I don't use. The larger and heavier stuff can go on racks, and I also have other storage in a basement too. It will keep it up high enough and out of the way while keeping wall space open as well.
