I'd like to suspend my (alumin.) extension ladder from the wooden
beams in the
garage. I can cobble together any number of Heath Rob. brackets, bits
of string
etc etc to do this, but just wondered if anyone has some clever
solution of how
to fix it and yet make it easily removable? I'd like it to stay with
the rungs
horizontal as am very pushed for space in there.

One end is supported by a loop of Bungie cord slung between 2 screw-in
eyes in the ceiling.

t'other end is held by a piece of nylon rope that starts at a screw-in
eye in the ceiling, loops down around the ladder, back up through the
eye and then down to a wall mounted cleat.

Position the head of the ladder through the elastic, loop the rope
around the other end and pull on the rope - the ladder lifts and holds
snug against the joist that runs across the garage.

It works for me.
