Default hard top question?

Can anyone tell me where to put this !! (no jokes please!!) . It is a nuisance on the garage floor so I wondered if anyone has suspended it from the garage roof ? If so by what mean.
Thanks

I remember someone posted pics of their homemade stand, seemed simple enough and they even had diagrams, try a search on this.

I currently have mine in an Auto-Pak hardtop bag hanging on a wall.

Next year it should be in the garrage on the OEM hardtop stand that I managed to pick up.

Woogie
I built a 1 man hoist for mine and believe me, it is *NOT* a job for the faint hearted. Its simple to put together if your garage ceiling permits; the problems come in using it and leaving the HT suspended.

Seriously, you need balls of steel. I poop myself anytime I use it and now I just don`t bother. The roof is on a stand in the corner of the garage now. On the floor where if it does fall, it doesn`t take the car out as well.
