Basically I went down to Bunnings, bought 50m of rope, 4 pulleys, 2 D shackles and some aluminium marine grade attachments to put the rope through from the wood. I got the wood from off cuts from previous renovations to our house. I drilled holes up each end of the pieces of wood (Cut to about 32cm long). Initially I also had some 250mm bolts to go through the wood, through the scupper holes and into another piece of wood below the kayak. This only worked at one end (It was too deep at the other end with the footwell etc) and would take too long to put on each time. I just made up a couple of loops of rope and now thread them through the scupper holes, up and through the pieces of wood then loop them back around.
All I have to do to get it off the ground now is pull on a couple of pieces of rope, then tie them off to the side of the garage. It not only keeps the kayak out of the way, but I can store paddles, PFD's etc on top. Total cost was about $67 for the materials from Bunnings.
