User questions & answers
Question: | I see in the instructions that they state to put a piece diagonally to support the work top. Was there a place in the leg to attach this piece |
Answer: | Yes, the upper leg support accommodates the (3) pieces of wood . The left & right sides of the wood are screwed into the leg support and the diagonally placed 2 x 4 is just laid diagonally across (sits on the upper leg bracket). |
Question: | Is there anyway to attach caster wheels to make this easier to move |
Answer: | YES! In fact it is quite easy to do , "Adding Castors/Wheels", to this workbench. As sturdy as this bench is once built it is easy to flip on it's side or back. And in that position simply attach your wheels. Just make sure you purchase GOOD wheels! And with a good mounting system. I at first tried to save a buck and bought some really cheap wheels from Amazon. Thought the wheels were rated at 500Lbs. That must have been a one time use rating! I then found a deal on Amazon for "Locking, Two inch dia., Polypropylene wheels with metal frames", Rated for 1000 Lbs. and they worked great. "STAY away from any plastic wheels regardless of the ratings!" The catch is the mounting system for the wheels. Most either have four holes you can place screws into OR a single steel 'Round", post with a metal "O-ring" to lock it in place. The latter you can order a larger plate that will attach to the bottom of the bench that the post slides up into. These worked for me. The one's with the four screws? Even with longer screws than recommended, -"4 x #8, 3-1/2" inch long, metal deck screws" they failed repeatedly. The bench weighs allot by itself and the four screws literally tore though the bottom of the bench! The wheels with a 3/8" inch metal center post worked with the mounting plates I made from heavy steel angle, "L-Brackets from the hardware store", with the 3/8" inch hole that I drilled in them for the post. With four 1" screws into the bottom but also two into the side. So that they were held both vertically and horizontally. Good luck! |
Question: | Are the shelf supports included with this kit the same size as the 90124 Shelf Link units ( which accept 4- 2x4 in width) sold separately? From the pictures it looks like the ones with this bench kit are using 3 - 2x4, or one narrower |
Answer: | I ordered the bench kit (90164) and the shelf link kit (90124). I did not use the shelf kit supplied with the bench kit on the bench itself. I combined them with the shelf link kit to make more shelves. They are exactly the same parts. I hope this helps. |
Question: | Can someone give me a general estimated idea of the cost to assemble this assuming a table top size of around 5'x2' or |
Answer: | I used sanded 3/4” sheets of plywood with a double layer on top plus all the 2x4’s and upgraded hardware. I spent an additional $450 to build mine. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Isnt this the exact same thing as the firewood rack kit except this kit gives you six plastic pieces instead of two |
Answer: | YES! Absolutely. Not sure why people are saying otherwise, but your question seems to be, can I use just one vertical piece and connect shelves on either side of it. 100% yes. I did exactly that in order to save room. Thus, I only used 4 vertical pieces to set up 3 full sets of shelves, as the shelves can connect on either or both sides of the vertical pieces. It's crazy that they don't sell the shelves on a stand-alone basis for a more affordable price....but I guess they realized the obvious--if someone needs three sets of shelves, they would only buy two complete packages plus a couple extra stand-alone shelves and (by connecting them end-to-end), they would end up with three full shelves for a much lower price. I'm going to guess this "profit optimization" results in a lot of waste, since many people who connect their shelf sets will end up with extra pieces they have to throw away. I have two extra end pieces my self and no easy way to use them. |
Question: | how long are these brackets |
Answer: | Yes, the hanger brackets are included. |
Question: | How to the actual shelves get secured? I understand the vertical beams. I am asking how the horizontals get secured down |
Answer: | I think the tallest would be the Heavy Duty Welded 36 in. W x 81 in. H x 24 in. D 20-Gauge Free Standing Steel Tall Garage Cabinet in Black |
Question: | could i use this structure and modify it into a deck, or would it not hold enough weight |
Answer: | I have not used the lock but i am very pleased with everything else with the cabinet. |

User questions & answers
Question: | how do you lift it to the ceiling do you have a crank system |
Answer: | I'm not especially strong but I lifted the rack onto a ladder and balanced it there with the help of another shelf, then I attached 4 rubber (heavy duty) bungee cords to each corner and hooked it to the ceiling mount. After those were all attached I could carefully keep tightening the cords by moving the hook further and further into the middle of the rack, lifting it up incrementally. Eventually you get to a point where you can 'hook' the rack onto the piece that comes down from the ceiling mount, so it's supported before you screw it in. |
Question: | Do I have to install the rack perpendicular to the ceiling joists as in the video or can I install the rack parallel to the joists |
Answer: | As long as the ceiling mounts are installed in a joist(s), then it will work. I installed my units in the corner of my garage, which required some creative mounting, as the studs where not conveniently lined up for a perfect installation. For one of the brackets, I ended up securing it to the wall rather ceiling as there was no stud along the ceiling next to one of the walls. |
Question: | Is the ceiling anchor bracket 16 to 24 inches long so one can span perpendicular over two ceiling joists to properly secure the rack |
Answer: | Janet,First off, my ceiling joist run front to back in my garage. My racks are mounted on the back wall with the 48" width going front to back and the 96" length side to side. The predrilled mounting holes are spaced 16" apart along the long side and 24" on the side. Therefore, they are ready as you receive them for for both. The vertical adjustable drop straps are mounted every 48" so it doesn't make any difference which spacing your ceiling joist is since every 48" they match up anyway. If you put the rack in a back corner of a garage you could mount it with the short side on the back wall and the long side along the side wall. In that case you would need to either have 24" spacing in your ceiling joist or buy 3 48" (you can buy them this length at a hardware store, Lowes or Home Depot) pieces of angle iron to span 16" joist then use any of the holes available to get the 24 and 48" spacing at the ceiling. Hope this helps.Richard |
Question: | What is the weight limit |
Answer: | The limit is 600lbs, says so in the description and in the manual. I have 2 of these and I have a good 400lbs on 1 and 200 on the other and they have held just fine. If it fell, it wasn't installed correctly. |
