In my last post, I showed you how to create a do-it-yourself storage method for your kayak that gives you more space in your garage by storing the boat up near the ceiling.
This rig, which cost me a few bucks at the local hardware store, uses some anchor bolts in the ceiling and two tie-straps. Using the tie straps you can raise the boat into its storage position with minimal effort.
I have to emphasize one element. Make sure when you mount your storage eyelet bolts in the ceiling that they are anchored into a cross member. You can't just thread these into the drywall, as it won't hold the weight either of the boat or the force used when pulling on the tie-straps to raise the kayak.
