Cool Garage Invention - Convenient Parking Tennis Ball

[fdudge]

nice, but it wouldn't work for my lambo - the doors would get in the way.

[edwealleans]

Why are there so many people in the comments that can't work out how this was done? or even what it's for?

[kperkins1982]

oh my god, I can't figure it out, when my door is closed, the ball is only a foot higher, i'm gonna explode

[laclares]

Ok, I had this set up in my garage in Florida, and when I moved back to California I forgot how I had it rigged. Your video doesn't show where you have it attached on your garage door. Could you give more detailed instructions? For example, I have an eyelet on my ceiling, but where on your garage door do you have the second eyelet attached?

i have one of these in my garage from the previous owners. but they set it up wrong so it only comes down a foot from the ceiling lol

smart

[WestlakeNZ]

This is awesome! I had the old tennisball hanging but my friend thought it was funny to keep adjusting the height so I bumped the wall. I finally got this little traffic light thing that goes from green to red when you are close enough. I wish I had seen this video first. Well done.

how much for the Vette? is that a pace car ??? nice-

[blakejamesdesign]

ha.. the Vette has been in the family for a while, so it's not for sale. But yes, it is the 25th anniversary pace car edition.. 1978

Your chain is way to lose on your garage door opener because it clanks aganst the rail way too much.

Thanks! Good to know!

[xtianrn]

how the heck did you do this?! ive hit a road block in trying to do this, im thinking you might have run into the same road block because i noticed yours goes below the target spot and back up

id greatly appreciate any assistance you can offer!

thanks in advance

Yah, I did run into a block. The directions aren't entirely correct, or maybe just not clear enough. It does go up and then back down again. So I just had to play around with the length until I got it right. I just tied a loose not around the screw attached to the garage door so that I could keep adjusting it, and then when the length was correct I tied it off for good.
