Abstract:
1. A storage system comprising: a. one or more storage containers which form an array of storage containers for storing items and which include four or more edges; b. at least two rail units, each having a first and second end; each of said rail units attaches to a ceiling or a wall, creating a hanging apparatus; c. each of said rail units having one or more parallel support rails, at least two inner adjacently parallel reinforcement rods disposed parallel to and spaced from said one or more parallel support rails, one or more outer parallel reinforcement rods disposed parallel to and spaced from said one or more parallel support rails; d. each of said rail units having a plurality of inverted u-shaped brackets, wherein each of said brackets has a center straight section that is connected to said at least two inner adjacently parallel reinforcement rods, and each of said brackets is connected to said one or more outer parallel reinforcement rods, and at least some of said plurality of u-shaped brackets have ends that flare out to form outer ends to connect to said one or more parallel support rails, and wherein a central longitudinal axis of the center straight section is parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the outer ends; e. said at least two inner adjacently parallel reinforcement rods are spaced apart from each other to create a longitudinal spacing spanning from said first end to said second end; f. each of said rail units having a plurality of support screws to insert through said longitudinal spacing whereby a distal end of each of said plurality of support screws makes abutting contact with said two adjacently spaced-apart inner adjacently parallel reinforcement rods to securely attach said rail unit to said ceiling or said wall when a distal end of the plurality of support screws is screwed into said ceiling or said wall; g. said at least two rail units are adjacently positioned, and are spaced apart from and parallel to each other; and h. wherein each of said storage containers has an upper lip to allow said one or more storage containers to adjustably and horizontally slide along and between said parallel support rails of said at least two adjacently positioned rail units.
