Team,
I recently moved and can no longer keep my canoe outside. The best place t=
o store this 75 +/- pound canoe is hanging from the ceiling, OVER a car, so=
I want to be sure I get this right. I have 4, 5/16" Eye Lag Bolts that ar=
e going into the ceiling. One end of the rope will terminate at either a s=
et of cleats on the wall or more eyebolts and the other end suspending the =
canoe via the Eye Lag Bolts. It overdesigned, but it's hanging over a car =
I cherish.
My question is the pilot hole for the 5/16th Eye Lag bolt. I am screwing t=
hem vertically up into the ceiling's new 2x4's, so I am thinking the pilot =
hole should be a smidge on the tighter side and use soap or paraffin to hel=
p reduce the friction of installing them.
I'm looking for thoughts on the size of the pilot hole, keeping in mind tha=
t while the load is light, it's a vertical hanging arrangement.
Thanks in advance,
Jack
p.s. Moving has been a rearranging nightmare. We had a home with three car=
bays and a 6 foot high paved and dry crawlspace with tons of storage room.=
I am forcing everything into a two bay garage with an attached single wid=
e, 42 foot deep bay that will hold our daily driver, two Triumph cars, a Sp=
rinter van and a workbench. I do have some basement storage too. I'm usin=
g a lot more vertical storage and it's getting there.........
