Plan the Installation Location

Determine if the VersaRac Pro will be installed either parallel or perpendicular to the ceiling
studs.
Perpendicular Installation with respect to studs Parallel Installation with respect to studs
Check the spacing of your ceiling studs to
ensure that they will work for the size and
direction of your VersaRac Pro install.
Measure from center to center
of ceiling studs
NOTE: If the spacing of your studs are irregular
and exceed 28 inches or the ceiling brackets
are not aligning to the ideal position, you will
need to install engineered studs. Please refer
to“Installing a stud hanger” on page 22 to
install a ceiling stud in the desired position.
Ceiling brackets can be installed either parallel or perpendicular to the VersaRac Pro. Start
planning the location of the top ceiling brackets and vertical posts. See the recommendation
below.

Plan where the VersaRac Pro would be installed and mark Points A1 and B1 on the center
of a stud, 94.3”or 46.3”apart depending on the orientation which you choose to install the
VersaRac Pro. NOTE: Aligning the edge of the VersaRac Pro to the center of the stud is not
required but it is recommended.
