Assembly Instructions

Step 1 - Plan the Installation
Determine if the orientation of your ceiling rack will be installed parallel or perpendicular to the direction of your
ceiling joists. Use a stud finder to locate the joists if ceiling is finished with drywall.
Check the spacing of your ceiling joists to ensure that they will work for the size and direction of your ceiling
rack install. If the spacing of your joists is 16" there should be ceiling joists located in the necessary position. The
illustrations shown in this manual are based on 16" joists spacing. See note below if spacing is an issue.*
Parallel
For a parallel installation ensure that the ceiling
joists are 48" apart.
*Note: If the spacing of your ceiling joists does not match the desired assembled size and direction of your ceiling
rack installation you will need to install an additional joist support in the correct position (not included). See below
for suggested additional joist support solutions. If your unsure how to install additional joist supports, consult with
your local professional contractor for assistance.
Note: Measure from center to center
of ceiling joists using a tape measure.
For a perpendicular installation ensure that the ceiling
joists are 96" apart.
