We FINALLY got the kayak off the garage floor

Here's our budget approach to winter kayak storage:



Using heavy-duty bolts, the OC mounted a couple of Flip Up Tool Holders. We cut sections of an old pool noodle for padding to protect our shiny new kayak. The OC then installed four sturdy hooks so that we could use a couple of tie-downs to keep that kayak from suddenly tumbling off onto some poor unsuspecting person's head (mine!).

We were some relieved when our patched-together kayak hanging system actually worked!
