I will have to post some pics but I got the parts for my whole system at Home Depot. First I measured out the span I wanted which was about
2 1/2' in from each end of kayak. Screwed into ceiling studs 4 eyebolts
($1ea) approx. 2-3 ft. apart from each other. Bought 2 self locking pulleys
(around $8 ea. if I remember) and attached to 2 of the eyebolts with the longer span. Tied rope to eyebolt leaving ceiling to floor loop that goes
back up through pully with enough tail to grab onto. Length will vary to
ceiling height(mine 8'). I just slide kayak through the 2 loops and hoist
away just going so far with each one so kayak doesnt slide out. Kayak
is up against ceiling and out of the way. Could easily fit 4 kayaks in my
2 car garage that way. Hey I only got one, maybe time to increase my
fleet. Thats the best I can do to describe it w/o pics since Iam at work
the next few days but it works great, cheap and took all of 20 min. to do.
