Apologies in advance if this seems idiotically obvious, but I would screw on a frame of selected 2X or thicker lumber and attach to that. I would cut so any knots would be away from attachment points.

Instruction say to have the supports level, measured 45" apart. I went ahead and increased that to 48", so the supports are slightly spread apart. However, I'm only using about 16" of space over my garage door, so I don't expect to put a lot of weight on it. Set the mounts 36" apart, instructions say 24" to 36" is okay.

It's 48" and setup for either 16" o.c. stud/joist spacing or 24" o.c. spacing.

When installed, the very tip of the horizontal supports measure 12 1/2 inches from the finished wall. The third 'dip' - the one furthest from the wall is centered appx. 9 inches from the wall - so beyond that, you still have 3 1/2 inches of support. Very satisfied with this product! Hope this helps!

The side bars can be 18 inches apart (the inside measurement between the two bars) or 24 inches apart if each side bar is moved the same distance from the center. If you wanted you could move only one side out and then the bars would be 21 inches apart, but it might be a little awkward. Of course, the closer together the bars, the more firm the support as you put your weight on them to help you stand. I am very pleased with it. Hope this helps.

How far apart ate your clothes poles? If, for instance, 25 feet, then you will need more than 5*25 or 125 feet of line to string between the 5 hooks. Of course, you may choose to not string all 5 hooks on each pole. Absolutely! set the poles in the ground, measure the distance between them, purchase whatever amount of line you need and then string them. I also use a 1x2 about 8 feet long to lift tne line in the middle. That helps to expose the clothes a little better, and keeps the middle of the line from sinking and those clothes from touching the ground.Best of luck with your installation.Mike140513.1733 How far apart ate your clothes poles?

The distance to the side wall shouldn't make a difference. The brackets shouldn't be more than 24" apart, and I'm assuming your shelf doesn't exceed 36". If you have a 36" shelf, and you want the end of it next to the side wall, then you would put your brackets at the 6" and 30" spots away from the side wall to have 6" on either side of the brackets. HOpe that helps and makes sense.

I do not have the instruction guide with me, but I am 99 percent sure that this unit warns you not to install in an enclosed space, that it should be free standing. I will try to dig up the owners manual to verify.

Answer here...itvwont mount to the edge of the floor joist, the bolt pattern takes about 4 inches. You can nail or screw a 2x4 onto either side of the joist to widen it and be fine.

There's a little half inch foot on each corner. I'm thinking it could be replaced with something a bit taller and handle the stress. I'm no carpenter, but I'd give it a go!

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. The bar is set up for 48 inches between the brackets, so 16 OC will work. If you are trying to span your joists with the brackets, that won't work, each bracket has 4 lag bolts. You could probably get it so that each bracket has 1 bolt in each joist, but then it wouldn't be as sturdy.

The back of the package shows that the brackets can be a maximum of 24" inches apart. I am planning to use 3 brackets for my 50" shelf (50" long, 1" thick, 12" deep).

No, You have the option of spacing the shelves as far apart or as close together as needed. Or you can skip putting a shelf or two in to begin with. I hope this helps.

The previous answer is correct, except... I presume you mean 48 inches, not 48 feet as typed. I don't know if it applies to this unit (Amazon combines feedback from different shelves as long as the generic subject is the same) but my shelf poles came as 2 separate poles that screwed together for each corner. If you wanted to make 2-36" tall units, you could put the rollers on one and the stationary legs on the other. Your tank would fit on the top of one of these as long as it was less than 18" deep. You night have to add a 1/4" spacer on the shelf to bring it up to the top of the lip of the pole mount.Hope this gives you some options.Mike The previous answer is correct, except...

4 or 5 feet Depending on your placement it will be shorter after installation.

I looked at the different extensions compatible with the gate system. I played with measurement numbers. For instance, start with the longest extension and add another until you exceed the desired number. Then, consider the other shorter extensions until you get as close to 48.5" as possible. Remember, the system comes with arms at the top and bottom that compensate for about 3" on each side. I hope this helps. Best wishes!
