Canoe or Boat Stored in Pulley Slings
The Canoe is Stored in the Garage, and Conveniently Hoisted into the Gable
A canoe, or small boat, which is taken from the water when not in use, suffers damage if it is left unprotected in the open. A practical method of storing it so that it can be taken out quickly is to suspend it from the roof structure of a small shed, or a garage, by means of slings. The latter are made of double thicknesses of strong canvas, and are provided with rings where they join to the lower pulleys of the hoisting rope and tackle. The cushions, paddles, etc., may be left in the canoe.—Robert W. Jamison, Mitchell, S. D.
