Approximately how close to the ceiling will the bottom of the kayak be? Will it fit above my garage door?

Several variables, of course, but I would guess about 40 inches. Shortening the straps could shorten the distance. Initially, allow for some stretching of the ropes. I put the kayak up, just clearing the door and a couple of days later the door hit the kayak. Good luck...

The system is bolted to a board on top of the rafters. Even so, the bottom of my canoe is at least 3.5 feet below the bottom of the rafters. I situated my system after the the location of the door.

It all depends on how high the celling is in your garage, mine is ten feet, so yes it will. After you mount the unit to the celling it is 13" to the bottom of the hook where you connect the strap.

We have a 9 foot ceiling. We hung the canoe so that it actually is below the garage door with one of the brackets installed about 6 inches in from where the garage door extends into the garage. The 2nd bracket was installed about 8 feet in from the 1st bracket. It works perfectly with the canoe hanging about 6 inches above the roof rack of our Ford Escape.

The "freeboard" (bottom of the boat to the top of the deck) of my kayaks is about 10" at the mounting point. The LL Bean website only give the length and beam dimensions for the kayak and not the depth, therefore the best way to be sure is either call LL Bean for the dimension or go measure it in the store.

Should be more than adequate. I have a hobie outback that is little over 12' and if any problem it is too big. It is not really moisture proof but keeps dirt and debris off. Moisture obviously not an issue for a kayak.

Never measured how tall it is but my garage has only 8 foot ceilings and it fits nicely with room to spare. The width is about 2.5 to 3 inches.

I think so. The pull cord is way longer than I need for my 8 foot ceilings. I have quite an excess of cord, but then where I have it tied down to the wall is very close to where the Kayak is. So I think you need to consider ahead of time where the tie-off on the wall will be as it relates to where you mount the unit on the ceiling.

Since its sticky backed it can be adjusted a little but my garage door had about 1/4" at the bottom and it overlaps that at least another 1/4" so safe to say up about 1/2".

I used the hoist to hold up Costco Kayaks. I put the straps at the widest point. That will make it 22 inches. I also used the same product and didn't used the hooks provided to hold a a ladder. This makes it 12 inches from the top of the ceiling to the ladder. I was going to use kayaks in this area, but it was to close to the garage door. But when I had it on it attached, the Kayak was 16 inch gap.

Im not sure if my reply wen through. I think it will be about 1 1/2 inches from the ceiling. I did not take the screen down just pulled it out from the bottom but I think that's about all it should take.

i don't know if it would since I do not own a lingo but it fits a 10' modular snap on top kayak. That's where mine was placed.

Sorry I do not have a exact length but I hung my kayaks off my 12' garage ceiling & had enough rope. The pulleys lock automatically & release when the rope is pulled straight down & held at that angle.

It would be close probably ok if you set it up so head is between joists. I have plent of clearance with a 8" ceiling and am 6"2 and short legs all upper body I do have to move away from a ceiling fan that hangs down a little more than a foot. It is a great price of equipment though and would highly recommend it if you have the space

I lived in a single wide trailer when I was using this. I don't have the exact measurements but the ceilings were low and I was able to run comfortably. It doesn't come up abnormally high.

Presuming you have a big enough garage roof, yes. The backboard was too big for the garage roof for me so be sure to take your measurements beforehand.

I had that problem since the kayak was hanging from my garage ceiling and I couldn't get my car under it. I tied a knot in the middle of the strap and adjusted it accordingly. That worked perfectly.

The dimensions should be in the notice. I would guess about 3 to 4 feet. My wife and I are able to load the top kayak easily. We like it. Only problem, they enclosed the wrong set of screws. But they sent them overnight when I called and complained and it assembled easily.

As far as length yes. It may be a little overkill for a Kayak on the width. I have a 12ft aluminum boat on mine. Easy to put together and for the price I think it was a steal.
