Before I got my frame I did the same thing only I use hooks in my ceiling. I hang baskets with scraps in them. They are decorative as well as functional.

For those that have 'stud' issues...measure out 16 in. from the corner of your wall. All modern (100 years plus) use this measurement. 16 inches on center. Every 16 inches is a stud.

My computer didn't allow me to see it all but from what I can see, it sparked an idea! What about the automatic garage door? I think I'm going to see if I could put sometthing in the spaces between the sections to fasten to. Not only would it be very strong but adjustable depending on the weather. I'll check mine out tomorrow. Too cold in the winter but okay right now for a while. :thumbup:

I like your idea since I cant afford to remove the garage door, I decided to put the form insulation panels in my door. I will see what the temperature is this winter since the entire garage is already insulated except the door.

Thanks, NJ, but I was trying to be punny about finding a "stud".
