: I have tried a mechanical advantage hoist and much prefer two pair
: of eye-bolts and two cam-buckle straps.

I made up a system for my carport. Details at:

It's a first go. I'm not satisfied with the pulley quality. I'll likely upgrade those and use climb rated 5mm ropes eventually.

The orange straps were added for recent storms.
