About FLEXIMOUNTS
FLEXIMOUNTS is a Livermore, California garage-storage manufacturer that has been in business since 2015, building overhead ceiling racks, wall-mounted shelving, storage cabinets, and workbenches around heavy-gauge, cold-rolled steel. The overhead racks are the brand's signature product: joist-mounted platforms with adjustable drop height, designed to be installable by a two-person homeowner crew rather than requiring a contractor.
Independent, hands-on testing backs up the brand's own claims. Bob Vila put FLEXIMOUNTS products through a 22-hour garage-shelving test and named the FLEXIMOUNTS WR26 wall shelving its Best Overall pick and the FLEXIMOUNTS GR48 overhead rack its Best Ceiling-Mounted pick, out of eleven competing shelving systems. In our own testing, the overhead racks consistently avoid the visible sag and bracket failure that lower-quality ceiling racks develop under a real seasonal-storage load.

Why we recognized FLEXIMOUNTS
The DIYRated Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose products independently earn top-pick status in our hands-on category reviews. FLEXIMOUNTS earned it because its products came out on top in 3 separate guides — evaluated the same way every product on this site is: bought, put to work on real jobs, and judged on merit.
FLEXIMOUNTS products we feature
FLEXIMOUNTS 4x8 Overhead Garage Storage Rack, Classic Series
The overhead rack Jake installs most often for clients: a proven 600 lb rated capacity across the full 4x8 steel platform, an adjustable 22-to-40-inch ceiling drop that clears SUVs and trucks, and a bracket-and-template system that makes a clean joist-mounted install realistic for a two-person homeowner project.

FLEXIMOUNTS 3x8 ft Overhead Garage Storage Rack, Adjustable Ceiling Rack
The same 600 lb joist-mounted engineering as the 4x8 best pick, shrunk to a 36-by-96-inch footprint that fits a single-car garage or the strip of ceiling above a garage-door track without giving up load rating or the adjustable drop height.

FLEXIMOUNTS 2-Pack 2x6 ft Garage Wall Shelving with 8 Hooks
Twelve linear feet of stud-anchored, 600-lb-per-shelf storage in a single purchase, with eight steel hooks in the box adding hang points underneath — the practical complement to the brand's overhead rack for a complete vertical storage strategy that keeps floor space clear.

- Independently validated: Bob Vila's hands-on 22-hour garage-shelving test named FLEXIMOUNTS its Best Overall wall shelving and Best Ceiling-Mounted overhead rack pick, ahead of ten other systems tested.
- Real, rated load capacity — the 600 lb overhead platforms and 600-lb-per-shelf wall shelving hold that rating in sustained use without the sag or deflection cheaper steel develops.
- DIY-realistic installation — every FLEXIMOUNTS system Jake has installed ships with a bracket template and hardware that makes a clean, code-appropriate joist or stud mount achievable for a two-person homeowner crew in about 90 minutes.
- A complete, compatible system — the overhead rack and wall shelving are engineered to work together, letting a two-car garage combine ceiling and wall storage from one brand instead of mixing incompatible mounting hardware.
- In business since 2015 and steel-first in construction — cold-rolled steel with a powder-coat or waterproof finish that resists the rust and humidity swings of an unconditioned garage.
