old mattress box spring repurposed for out of the way shop ceiling storage

Dump mattress or spring in landfill :-$30.
If you don\'t live near the facility where garbage is recycled for free, then you don\'t have a lot of options.
I decided to tear off the cover of the old box spring and see if there is enough metal in it to be recycled.
I tied my old box spring to the ceiling pallet and it was there when the garage door opened.
Easy pre-drilling \"lag bolt on the side of the wooden frame (6\" long)
Fix it to the ceiling through the 2x6 pallet at the back of sheetrock.
I recommend having extra hands to help keep it up and make sure the washer and 6 \"lag\" are really good.
I like to use my new stand-alone storage space to store long material left over from various projects.
PVC pipe for sprinkler operation, lots of wood trim cutting
Offs, aluminum channels, fluorescent bulbs, etc.
Finally, everything I tilt in the corner of the store is now separated and it\'s easy to see the next time I need something.
