To begin with, this ceiling is VERY sturdy!! Solid as a rock! The assembly was very easy to follow, took a few minutes to assemble. Just a couple of bolts and nuts. The majority of time was spent on finding the rafters and planning where to anchor the ceiling minting strips. In my installation I had to contend with a garage door, ceiling lights and a rack, so the planning took much longer. I highly suggest two people to lift and install the rack, this is not a one man job. The anchor bolts are large, with an aggressive thread, once in they will not slip out. I already had another ceiling rack from another company installed, but this rack truly stands by Gladiator's name. It's is a superior product.
