Shelving just buy some right angle metal braces, then cut some 3/8 or 1/2 inch plywood to fit, screw the bracing to the garage studs, screw the plywood onto the bracing and your good to go. All you would need for tools are a drill, level, and a saw to cut the plywood.

And potentially a stud finder.

Ignore the mess but these are ply, some 2x4s, chain and some eye bolts. They’re strong enough that I’ve stored the push mower up there during the winter.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything overhead like this pre made. You can buy the plywood in 2x4 or 2x8 sheets so at that point it would be cutting a 2x4, finding the studs and setting some screws.

Normally, I'd suggest 2x's to make shelves out of. But the prices right now all wood is stupid expensive. Wire shelving may end up cheaper these days. Either way, I like to use wall standards with brackets to allow for adjustability in shelf height.
