Thanks for this, it was a huge help for a novice! I adapted to my situation and ran the pulleys parallel to each other instead of in a line, and it's working great! I have two adult and two kid kayaks hoisted up with strong enough hardware to support it, and now they're not taking up space in our car port. Excellent video!

Just did this in my carport and hung both of our kayaks so that I can hoist them directly into and out of the bed of my truck. Works perfectly! My 'yaks are just under 10' long and my carport is only 9' from the ground to the crossmembers so I was able to use only 1 length of 100' rope for both hoists. Thanks for the help!

Great video! Works much better than the cheapo big box systems. I substituted a double pulley after the cleat for each line, and the next pulley at the ceiling to guide the aft line better, but the rest is the same as the video. Even on my heavy fishing kayak this system works well. Thanks for sharing your setup.

Great system. I did want to point something out however. The diagram that you drew shows both lines going through the first pulley. Then when you show the close up shot of the pulley system, one cord goes through the first pulley and the second cord goes directly through the second pulley skipping the first one. I installed my system as indicated in the diagram and when I tugged on both cords nothing happened. The two cords going through that first (smal)l pulley were too tight a fit and the kayak remained on the floor, no bueno. I ended up getting a double pulley as pulley number one and this worked much better. I thought it was worth mentioning for all your viewers.
@ZaneMcFate
@ZaneMcFate 4 жыл бұрын
Yes, the diagram does seem to imply that. If you look at his implementation though, there are no cases where two ropes go through a single pulley. A double would save space on that junction, that's a good idea; I simply hung two pulleys near each other for that portion.

I want to hang plants from the ladder rungs and be able to lower the entire ladder evenly to reach and water my plants. Would the weight of my plants have to be evenly distributed to make this idea work?

If I’m not mistaken with the pulleys attached to the kayak you should only need one piece of rope. It’s runs through all pulleys and anchors at the end. But great idea I am definitely going to use your idea with a few modifications thanks for the idea!

You don't need to cut it at the floor. The rope only needs 2 terminations at the ceiling. The 2 lengths running to floor can just be a loop. Also the store bought ones have a safety brake so if you lose your grip the kayak doesn't fall.

I have almost exactly what you have in terms of pulleys and carabiners lying around. Appreciate the layout as I was thinking of going one rope, but have seen the issue of wanting to raise only one end with a one rope system. The one thing I noticed because I had already put my pulley eyelet through the carabiner (tight fit, but good) was that you just put the T handle of the boat through the carabiner. I hooked mine through the actual rope so there is no way it is going anywhere. The way you had it made me a bit nervous as in tension it should be fine, but any relief of tension and it could come through and release.

EVERY professional site that talks about hanging a kayak cautions to NEVER hang them by the handles. It can warp the yak, not to mention that the strain on the handles could eventually cause them to break. This is a good design for the pulley system, but it should have hooks hanging down that can be attached to straps that go around the yak at about 1/3 of the way in from each end.

Hello Brian how's it going. I like your DIY kayak ceiling storage. That is all materials that you can get from Walmart and that is awesome for something that you can do for cheap that would hold well. I have 9 kayaks in my family to store so this will work great. Also like how you demonstrate this in your flip-flops too. I am a huge fan of flip flops. Me & my wife , my 5 boys , & my granddaughter that's all we wear is flip flop. I have big very very extremely wide feet that are sz15 with very chubby fat wide toes that are equally straight across making my foot very very wide at 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe. All 5 of my son's have very wide feet cuz of me. My foot outgrow shoes , socks , and boots so that's why I'm a huge fan of flip-flops. It's the only Footwear that my foot will barely fit into you. It's just awesome seeing people doing things in there flip flops the way I have to do. Good video thank you for sharing.

Like the fact that they just a quick slip on and go but unfortunately for me because of me having extremely wide feet I had to sit down & pull the flip flops straps wide enough to slide my foot in because of my toes being wider than the flip-flop strap. Hope you having a good weekend.

All I need is a garage with a ceiling like yours…as high as a cathedral. Here in the U.K. I doubt if many homes have such garages; none I’ve had even had a boarded ceiling. Actually those exposed rafters make hooks and bracketry easier to fit. My garage is a little larger than many but I don’t think there is headroom to have a kayak hanging from the underside of the roof. I’m going to measure carefully before I try!

I’m looking for solutions to hoist two kayaks on our dock, and this seems like the best solution given that I can get a ring clamp or use chain like in the video to secure it over the round supports, but I’m struggling with a) keeping them secure during frequent windy days and b) keeping them secure from thieves. I imagine a couple padlocks could do the trick but it’d be easily overcome by the d-rings. Could a bike lock do it? Also, would there be a way to rig this for two kayaks? Or am I installing two hoist systems for this? I’d be interested to find a solution for using one hoist system for two, maybe getting more robust pulleys and rope?

Is there anyway to rig it with one line ... maybe use a center-line pulley fixed at the balance point, then run to one end and the other.
@HouseMadeUS
@HouseMadeUS 5 жыл бұрын
With a different pilot system yes, but with just one line it won’t move horizontal to the floor. It wants to pick one end up before the other. Usually the far end. I initially tried the one rope system and it didn’t go up and down properly. So I went with two and it solved the problem.

After looking at diagram and considering the termination of both lines(red and blue), would it not be better "effort-wise" to continue both lines back down to lower pulleys and terminate there? This way each end of the kayak utilizes a 3 pulley system....please advise.

No, it’s all pretty rugged. It’s been hanging for quite some time and shows zero signs of fatigue.

Why not use a double pulley at the first red position and eliminate the first blue pulley? Might help keep the lines from crossing.

Get some straps to go around and support the kayak. Those grab handles are not designed to hang the kayak from for extended periods

This is a great video...LEarned alot. But, I must agree with other viewers, who have not received a reply. You should try and reply, even if no answer. 1). Agree, the way the pulleys are mounted, noticed in the up postion it become an issue as the lines rub a bit (4:57). 2) Also the carry handles may not support this over time....You dont want to be hurt and look like a mushroom .

I have added the additional supports and a dual pulley would fix the rubbing issues. I don't use mine that much so it's not an issue. Still holding strong! Thanks for watching.

This video was helpful regarding some pulley arrangements but I don't like the idea of hoisting just via the loops on either end of the kayak. I have a 16ft canoe and I would be worried about the canoe bowing in the middle just being support at each end.

I appreciate that. However my kayak isn’t sagging after a year up there so I think it is okay. You could easily add a sling system to this for your canoe. Thanks for reaching out. 👊🏻😁

Bill Aney Hey Bill, I don’t suppose you would mind sharing your design for two kayaks? Or did you just do two separate lifts?
@billaney2612
@billaney2612 4 жыл бұрын
Warren Hansen I did two separate lifts, with pulleys mounted on 2x4s that were securely attached to joists in the ceiling with lag bolts. I think 2 kayaks on the same setup would be too heavy for one person to handle.
