I helped my dad put in a hoist like this for the big redwood picnic
table that he doesn't like leaving out in the snow. A couple of 2x4`s
with vertical spacers and carriage bolt/wingnut clamps and some pulleys
and clothesline. I'll probably build something like that if I ever have
a need. It probably cost $20 to build, mostly in the pulleys.
