Then take the other eyehook and screw it into the shelf at the same height level where you previously screwed the eyehook into the garage wall. It should typically be mounted towards the top of the shelf so that if in the event of an earthquake, the shelf will not tip over and fall.

I used 3" screws with an impact driver to get them in tight. My shelf has over 500lbs sitting on it without any sign of fatigue. I think the key is to make sure the 2 x 4's are fastened vertically instead of horizontally. This keeps the flexing to a minimum. What kind of screws did you use to fasten the wood together?
