How to Hang a Pot Rack

Pot Rack Space Saver

Storing those huge pots and pans is a big problem in many kitchens. They can take up a lot of room space when stored in cabinets. If your precious cookware is top of the line and even if it’s not, display it by hanging using the hanging pot racks.

Most hanging pot racks should be mounted directly into wood stud work within the ceiling. However you can mount the item into sheet rock provided that it is at least 1/2 inch thick and that it is in good condition. If you choose to mount into the sheet rock, do not exceed a total loaded gross weight of 50 pound. This assumes that you are mounting from the 4 chains provide. The weight limit is cut in half if you only mount from 2 anchor points.

The following is instructions for installation of screw type ceiling hooks.

1. Locate the ceiling joists with a stud finder. If your ceiling joists are not in the proper place to align your pot rack
    where you want it then you may want to go into the attic to add some 2 by 4's above where your hooks will be.
2. Mark on your ceiling where the hooks need to go. You can then pre drill your pilot holes through the sheetrock
    from underneath. If your ceiling joists are in the right place then just screw your ceiling hooks into the ceiling
    joists. If not then push a piece of wire through at least one of the holes to help you find the holes in the attic.
3. Go into the attic with a tape measure and find your pilot holes. Measure what length your 2 by 4's will need to
    be. Cut your 2 by 4's to length and then place them in the attic above the pilot holes.
4. You can then nail your 2 by 4's into place by nailing through the existing ceiling joists into the ends of the 2 by
    4's. Two nails about 3 to 4 inches long on each end should be sufficient.
5. If your ceiling joists are in the right place then you can mark where you the four ceiling hooks will be located.
    Make sure it's squared over the island or counter.
6. Pre-drill pilot holes for the hooks then screw them into the joists. You may need to use a screwdriver for
    leverage.
7. Hang your chains from the hooks and then lift the rack (here is where your helper comes in handy) and hook it
    to the chains.

You have now created more storage space in your kitchen not to mention creating a beautiful display for your precious cookwares.

The toggle hook option for lighter pot racks.

Using ceiling hooks with the toggle bolt is an option if your ceiling joists are not in the right place. These are usually available in any hardware stores. They are decorator hooks that come in black, brass and white. They are usually 15 to 25 pounds each. Just drill a hole that is enough for the toggle to go through and when it gets through the sheetrock it automatically opens. After that, just tighten it. In this way you can place your pot rack anywhere you want it. These step by step instructions are not recommended for heavy applications.

Another tip.

Your chains can be hung at an angle if this will help in your installation but only angle the chains outwards towards the ceiling. Never inwards. If your pot rack has 4 chains then this will help eliminate sway.
