YTYT: Ended up having to go perpendicular to my ceiling joists. Chopped off a foot from an 8 foot 2x4 and mounted the 7 footer mounting board to the ceiling joists with separately purchased 3/8 x 4 inch lag screws with a 1/4 pilot hole drilled first. Then mounted black brackets to the board with the kit included 1/4x2inch lag screws. Didn't have any issue with these included lag screws snapping off nor the cleattscrews that lots of reviews complain about. With that being said the included rope is indeed inferior and frays real easy on the pulley brake. Also don't cut it. You might not have enough length. I didn't cut it as per instructions and just used standalone twine rope to make the horizon brake line. My biggest con is how low this kayaks sits. On my 10 foot ceiling garage the kayak is barely 6 feet above the ground just grazing my head. In hindsight the 6 foot minimum distance between pulleys they recommend was dumb. On a 9.8 foot kayak this gets the straps way at both tip ends of kayak to the point that they barely hold and want to slip away. I should have done them 3 to 4 feet apart. The mechanism from ceiling to hooks in lowest parked position measured 15 inches and the another...

Hutch: Works great. Easy enough to install. My kayaks have been hanging up for more than a month since install so far so good.

John Bordick: I use these to hang my canoe and my bike in the rafters of my garage. I needed to improvise the installation so as to get the correct angle for each piece. However once installed getting the canoe up is a breeze and my bike is even easier. And the rope they give you is plenty long enough for the job. I would buy these again and recommend them to others.

msoleil: The included instructions are not all that clear.
Many thanks to previous reviewers who warned about the rope length - don't cut it exactly in half, since one rope has to travel further!

Jason LandauJason Landau: I really like these pulleys! They work great but they’re definitely what you would expect as an inexpensive system. The rope quality is very poor and the brackets are not very heavy duty.

First you need to get a support beam in the ceiling first. I hung an 8ft pelican with a 4ft 2x4 and a 12ft fishing kayak with a 6ft board. I bought some very sturdy deck screws to secure the beams into the joists and they’re very stable. Next I replaced the stock rope with 1/4in nylon rope. The new rope is much stronger and does not fray. I needed about 100ft of rope for both boats.

I highly recommend this as an option if you need an inexpensive way of hanging a couple kayaks. I only gave 4 stars since the rope it comes with is poor quality.

Ronaldo Sá: Produto excepcional. Detalhe, vem dois kits completos na caixa por esse valor e não um. Cada kit já vem com duas cordas para prender o que for preciso. Fiquei surpreso. Qualidade do material, das cordas e da cinta para prender muito boa.
