Every effort has been made to ensure that the advice and instructions given on this website are accurate and will enable you to do the job safely and successfully. However they are only guidelines and we recommend you seek expert advice in the event of difficulty.

Overhead Garage Storage
Sometimes it can be difficult to fit everything in to your garage and this project makes use of the storage space beneath the roof which can be easily used to store things like ladders and lengths of timber using a rope and pulley system.

What You Will Need
One single wheel screw pulley
One double wheel screw pulley
One galvanized 4 inch cleat hook
A length of rope

What to Do
A.
Screw both pulleys into the underside of the roof joists with the double pulley nearest to your wall or fixing point.
B.
Attach the cleat hook to the garage wall below the double pulley. Feed the two cut ends of the rope over the double pulley and then feed one cut end over the single pulley too.
C.
Tie the cut ends to whatever it is you are hanging.
D.
Pull the other end of the rope loop down to raise the load and tie it to the cleat hook.

To make this project even easier we have introduced a range of ‘Project Packs’ that come complete with all the materials you need and easy to follow instructions.
