$30 Kayak Hoist: A Cheap Garage Storage Solution
I share a cheap kayak hoist kit that a lot of folks I know use to store kayaks on the garage ceiling and free up space.
What’s in this video
This is a quick heads up on a popular kayak storage product. I know several people using these lifts. The hoist kit has excellent reviews and was listed for $29.97 with free shipping at the time of the video, which is a great buy if you want your garage floor back.
If you have a really heavy kayak, look at a heavier duty option instead. I linked a couple, and I also did a separate video on a drill powered heavy duty lift.
Quick takeaways
- The basic hoist was $29.97 with free shipping at the time of the video.
- For really heavy kayaks, step up to a heavier duty lift.
