kayak storage spots - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Time for me to move the kayak off the floor of the garage - wife complained that it was 110 outside, her car parked in the driveway cooking while my kayak was in the garage...

I mounted hooks in the rafters in the garage, but when I pull on the hook I can see the rafters bending slightly - and I'm not pulling very hard. So hanging a 60lbs kayak is making me wonder if it is a good idea. Otherwise I'm thinking of hanging the yak along the chain link fence in the back yard and covering it with a canvas tarp - or would plastic be better? I read the article about keeping it upside down. Wondering if others are hanging it by the rafters or storing it outside.
