Thanks for the great video and advice. It helped me get my kayak storage temporarily sorted!

Manufacturers usually recommend that canoes be stored upside down. You will see that in almost every store or canoe livery.

Thanks, excellent video - appreciate the ideas.

I'd love to see a video of doing this with a slayer propel. That's what I have and its always just laying on my garage floor in the way. to nervous to hoist it up.

I'm getting ready to install almost this exact system in my garage for my Hobie 13 Kayak. Great video to illustrate how well this set up works! Nicely done video my man, and way to take care of your boat.

Seriously. The video could have been 1/3 the length or less. The canoe wipe down is so not needed

how did you determine where the straps should go on the canoe?

Thank you! This works perfectly. Start to finish about 30-40 minutes.

Hi, Nick. What is the connection part on the celling? I'm not sure how to drill holes on the celling without damage any wiring.

The best solution I have found! Thank you

Don't forget..some plastic boats will bend..be smart about how far apart your straps are, especially if it gets hot up in your storage area. No disrespect, but this is not my first choice in storage options.

What kind of straps are those? A little different than ratchet straps.

getting it down might be a little hard

Is there a particular reason you used D rings instead of eye bolts? Seems like you could do either way. Thanks for the video! Much cheaper solution than buying the pulley rigs and then modifying them so you can crank the boat all the way flush with the ceiling. My garage has an 8’ 6” ceiling height so I have to get my kayaks all the way flush with the ceiling so I can get my truck under them.

DUDE! You saved my life with this. Very tight garage and this method tucked the canoe just perfectly high enough to let the garage open under it. Great video.....worked perfectly. I flipped mine upsidedown to give me more clearance above the door.

How long are the straps you used? 15 feet maybe?

Remember to bend your head out of the way when you use your door into the garage.

Smart and very slick and economical!

Nice & simple, thanks for sharing! I’ve recently added a nice little Souris River solo canoe to hang using this method, next to its bigger brother suspended by a Harken Hoister. The HH works great, but costs an arm and a leg. Also, on behalf of humanity, I apologize for the painfully repetitive and sometimes abusive comments I have read here. Kudos to you, for not losing it on some of them!

How do you like the ryobi garage door opener?

Nice and simple. Thanks! For those wondering the spacing of the D rings,, heres from a rock climber who knows something of anchor systems,,, you want the spacing to be the width of your boat or just a tiny bit wider. You do not want it much wider because the load on each anchor increases exponentially the wider you go. This would be called a two point equalized load system.

That'll work. Thanks for the video

Awesome bro!

This is by far the simplest way I have found, great work!

This is a great way to store your canoe if you never want to use it again.

Don’t waste time with unrelated tasks like wiping down the canoe and waxing. Your video is not titled “how to wipe and wax”.

What kind of straps are those?

Great way bro, it just did this after learned from yiu, cheers.

If you leave it on the straps, they will break after a long time. Put a safety rope under the straps that doesn't have load on it for when they do break.

Very good idea! Thank you!

Thanks for posting this. I copied this method to store my kayak and it works great. I was going to buy a pulley system, but noticed that they leave the boat hanging a lot lower than I wanted. This system is ideal for a low ceiling like my carport has. I suppose with a higher ceiling it would be difficult to reach the releases.

Hey Nick, thanks for the video. What spray wax are you using, and is it specific to certain materials? Thanks!

This is great. Simple. I like that you can get it so close to the ceiling. But this scheme has some drawbacks, especially for heavier boats: 1) You need a stool to get it down. Having pulleys to redirect to some tie offs on the wall can avoid this. There are tons of examples on youtube. 2) You're almost under it when you lower. Could be a bad combination, especially with the two handed lowering that it requires. 3) You're sawing the boat with the sling. Long term you'll cut through the finish. (worse for heavier boats). It's a minor point and you can adjust it to slightly different positions to extend the time. 4) Slings are sort of in the way when it's not hanging. Again, pulleys to tie offs are easy to pull out of the way.

very smart and low cost solution, thanks for that

Man I was going to go complicated with pulleys and other nonsense! I’m so glad I found your vid! I also dig how you used the cinch strap. Btw how’s getting it down? Maybe follow up vid idea?

What is the distance between the Bolt's with/length first time trying not skilled this way

Thank you for sharing this. Very good idea. Best wishes from New Zealand.

I see a lot of questions on Nick's method about how far to space the hooks. That's kinda like asking how long is a trailer. I'd recommend dividing your boat length by 4. Come in approximately that distance from each end keeping in mind they may need to be spaced a multiple of two feet apart to catch a truss. This kinda balances the stress on the bottom of your boat. For instance, my kayak is 12'. I came in 3 feet from each end, making the hooks 6 feet apart.

Brilliant solution to Yak space!! Easy to follow.

Everything you need for this great video is under 20 bucks at Lowes or Home Depot.

Its a good idea, I wanna do the same for my kayak

Simple and to the point. Thanks!

Great but where did you this straps ? On amazon ?

Thank you sir. I screwed 4 storage hooks / bike hooks to the ceiling, then used cam strap from Walmart (no hooks) to hoist up my kayak. So simple.

I appreciate your appreciation for something you appreciate.

Thank you for sharing this. I never would have thought of it on my own and it works perfect for my garage. Very helpful and well done video.

Anyone else wanna fix that second strap that didn’t *quite* make it over on the toss… 4:32 😬

Ya now you need a ladder to let it down and no control we’ll sort of no control

🤙🏽

I have two 80lb canoes. Do you think this could hold it up? Our garage has a high ceiling and we want to get two cars in there. We're looking at maybe purchasing the hoist systems from Home depot or Amazon but we wanted to look at other options too! Great video.
