Need Advice on Building Kayak Storage Ceiling Hoist
I want to store three heavy kayaks, 2 Hobie Outbacks and 1 Hobit Mirage Revolution weighing about 100, 80, and 70 pounds, 250 pounds in all. I am planning to use a hoist and system of pulleys to raise a lift made up of two 8 ft metal pipes. The hoist I'm planning to use is a It will be powered by a Vevor 880 pound hoist plugged into a nearby 120 outlet. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C49C2M1J?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title I will use 3/16 inch vinyl-covered stainless cable to connect to the two 8 ft pipes (dimensions and material TBD, advice welcome) going straight up to four SS swivel pulleys, then to two ceiling-mounted pulleys, and from there to the hoist. All are connected with heavy-duty SS clips.. Hobie suggests the kayaks be stored upside down to avoid denting the hull, and adding some cushion on the supporting pipe. I will probably use large pool noodles. Right now, I'm considering using galvanized pipe to support the kayaks. I've seen others use 2 x 6 or 2 x 8 wood boards. I'm adapting the system's engineering from two or more YouTube Garage DIY videos, in which they are using a similar setup but not for heavy kayaks. One is Josh's Garage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TnoKX7pqXg I wish I had a diagram or photo to show people my idea here. Perhaps I can draw something up. I welcome your suggestions.
