I have a 4x4 post 6' long that I ran some large Eye bolts through and countersunk them. I screwed the 4x4 to one of my crossbeams of the finished garage roof just to keep it there but not to hold the weight. I then screwed a 4x4 post against the wall that extends from the concrete footing up to the 4x4 on the roof and it supports all the weight of the post on the roof. On the other side I use a 4x4 that I set in a movable concrete deck post holder on the floor and 4x4 goes to ceiling and is screwed to the crossbeam just to keep in place. The 4x4's from floor to ceiling hold all the weight. It is easily movable and kept in the corner out of the way. 2 minutes to set up or take down and total cost of around $40. I have hung a couple deer from it at a time and have hung a moose from it no problem. Back the truck in the garage, come along or small portable winch to animal, crank it up and drive away.
