Storage Space

“I want to get a hardshell kayak but I have NO space for it.
Then someone suggested this

over head storage

has anyone had to use something like this for boats, bikes, gear...

and what do you think? did you find it easy to get the gear in and out?”

“Ummm, Maple, I don't think it would be wise for you to store anything overhead, being gravity-challenged as you are.”

“only if I allow the turkys to sit in the yak...”

“Do you have a large empty wall?

Keep the yak clean and mount a hanger on the wall and display it like a piece of art.”

“Maple,
My nephew suspends both of his Kayaks from his garage ceiling.
It is a rope and pully system very simple and looks very easy to install and use. The 'Yaks where well up and out of the way. Knowing him he bought online.
It also looked very safe.
I will see if I find out where he got if from.
If Ok I will send him a email and cc you in on it. He works at Kodak his name is Scott.
Tim”

“thanks for the idea. I wish I had a garage, but only an apartmnet”

“oooops then never mind that email...haha
hang it on the ceiling in the living room...haha”

“On second thought Maple, you'd look cute going to work on the subway wearing a kayak for a hat.”

“PS

I'll store it for ya in my garage if you let me useit :-)”

“deal but i get first dibs.....”

“LMAO......

why aren't you going to PA-paloosa ??”

“me?”

“oooppps :-)
Yes you ? Mapleleaf :-)”

“we are going to MD for a big camping trip on June 20th weekend.
Not up to doing backpacking trips just yet. But I am hoping to be able to in Aug. I have a trip planned Aug 8th but will be changing to to Aug 15th.

“Okee Dokee”

“Mapleleaf Navy Logo: Crossed anchors over a maple leaf.

Christened with a bottle of blackberry wine.

The USS Treeboat.

Swim for your livers.”

“Maple wearing a kayak on her head.... I can believe that... ;)

I hesitate to post the next two links because they are do-it-yourself items and maple doesn't need yet another trip to the emergency room.

Maybe tree could put it up for her....

Overhead

Wall”

“thanks stovie.
I like the first one.
It is the closest to the ceiling that i have found so far.



oh by the way
HAHAHAHA to geo and stoviehead!

maybe I'll just stick to an inflatable. I only place I could put one is in the kids room. Geo, you have seen the apartment and you know how small it is. unless no one will notice a kayak hanging from the ceiling

LOL”

“tell one of the kids it's their new bed! act like it's real cool, and maybe they'll think so too.
;-)”

“Not a chance anybody would notice a kayak hanging from the ceiling in that apartment Maple (He's lying again).

Maybe you're looking at this the wrong way. How about suspending it out a window?”

“Flip it upside down and use it for your chinese dining room table.”

“You are changing my trip to August 15?”

“no.

we are good for Aug 8th.
I want to plan a trip to PA for Aug 15th.”

“cabelas has a cool one in their new catalog. i think i can make one from the picture.

we had to rent a small storage unit nearby to put some of our junk in. it's pretty cheap and would hold 4-6 kayaks standing up”
