I did a little write-up for how I set up my garage for storing my roof and doors during the summer. Space is at a premium and I didn't want to spend a ton of money, so I did one of the DIY carts, a DIY electric ceiling hoist from Harbor Freight, and DIY wall mounted door hangers. Didn't turn out too bad for around $150 for everything, and I can get the doors and roof off by myself.

I like how you wrote that you also use it lift up and work on your mower. I thought I was the only one who did that.:rock:
Super easy to sharpen the blades if you don't have to take the deck off. haha

my hoist:

That's legit. I need to figure out a system like yours for lifting the roof off (those rigid anchor points). Right now I put a carabiner on the hoist and throw two straps under either side of the roof and link all 4 of the strap hooks to the carabiner. When I lift the roof, if I don't have the hook/carabiner point close enough to the back the whole thing tilts backwards. I then have to keep adjusting it until it's balanced. It's kind of a pain.
