18220, Float Tube Storage
Posted by TheBum, Wed Jan-28-04 07:47 AM
Hello All,

I have a Waterskeeter Day Tripper and want to hang it in the garage. I was wondering if anyone has any good ideas on storage. The tube is inflated, but I want to make sure that I also dont have to manuever around it int he garage, hence hanging it from the ceiling. Any ideas are appreciated!

Thanks in advance !

Try to use small pullies and some good cloth rope. I have a set up in my little garage that works great. It gets my round tubes up and out of the way.

Thanks for the quick response ! I am going to take a look around the harware store and follow that lead. I know that if my tube is always ready I'll get out on the water more :-) . Thanks again for your assistance!

Here's a photo from Enrico, our tubing friend in Italy, of how he stored a tube & kickboat in his garage.

Nice setup! I just got back from the hardware store and pickup some nice rope along with a small pulley. Will work on it when I get home tonight. Thanks for the ideas !
