  • Not much, I bought the supplies at Home Depot, probably about $50 or so. Good luck, I will give you one tip, to make sure you hit the truss I crawled in the attic and drilled a small pilot hole from the attic to the garage ceiling right against a truss, then dropped a plastic tie in the hole so it was visible from the garage, then when on my ladder in the garage I knew exactly where the edge of the truss was so I knew for sure if I was placing the hook centered on the truss and plug pilot hole.

  • @dmgstuff

    Aren't you worried about the rope rubbing against the carabiner causing it to degrade, possibly to the point of failure?

  • @MrKeenanGill Sorry for the delay in responding... I checked the ropes just before replying and there is no wear visible at all! So I would not worry about that issue! Take care!

  • good stuff, do your two ropes join into one so you are don't have to do one at a time? Also most Kayak makers recommend that you store your kayaks upside down which stops them warping.

    :)

  • I thought it was best to store it on its side to prevent the warping? I use a similar hoist with a 10ft kayak, but its much simpler. I'm pretty sure I have less leverage working for me. This one seems to go up and down much easier. I need gloves to get mine up and down.

  • @mikaila31 - Yes there is nice leverage, and it is not difficult raising the kayak . you can adjust the Kayak in a sideways position once you tied the kayak off. sorry for the delayed response.

  • @Dancesux Sorry for the delay in responding, I did not know you had posted a question, the answer is, I did join the two ropes with three bands of duck tape near the wall tie off, and that did help. And you can adjust the Kayak in a sideways position once you tied the kayak off.
