??? er.... um.... ahhhh... I didn't think of it as special. just something I needed and did.

Haven't really thought much about them until your thread here.

I 'm thinking I might have to put up a couple other threads with shots of a few things I've done.

There's "regular thinking", "thinking outside the box", and in my world "there is no box"




If I were to go with eye bolts and rope, then I'd set it up as a pulley system, especially if you have a full 8' plus ceiling. then you don't need ladders, you can just hoist them up and down.

I went with the steel straps, because I'm a steel worker and it was quick, easy, cheap, and convenient for me. I just designed it up, walked to the shop floor at work, said I need 40 of this, cut to that. punch holes here, roll it like this, bend it here, and throw it in my truck when you're done.

Shipping would negate any value in making them for others, even though I am almost out, and will be setting up another run.
