Garage Kayak Racks?

[Holy Mackerel]

Any of you kayak fisherman have any pics, or plans for a narrow kayak holder, for about 6 or 7 kayaks, surfboard. I have to make room in my garage, the new roommate is accumulating more stuff than I have, which seems impossible. :eek::D

I currently just use a wood kayak rack that used to sit in the back of my old truck. Very inefficient use of space in my garage.

Thanks,

chris

Chris,

I got this from PN, thinking of making something similar. Hope this helps!

Hey Chris,

This may not be what your looking for...Eric

Six or seven kayaks? When do you find the time to use them all? I have two but only use one of them, (the Hobie Revo). The other is a silky smooth paddle kayak by Necky called a Dolphin. I love them both but have been spoiled by using the Hobie so the other sits on the rack most of the time.

For the record, I store my kayaks on the metal runners of one of my garage doors that is never opened, (too much stuff in that space to park a car.)

I sounds to me that rather than building some amazing storage structure, you should think about posting some of your castoffs on Craig's list.

Eddie, I had something like that in mind. I'll check Pnavy.

Erinoo, are those surf racks?

Bob, I can't sell them, you never know when I might take up kayaking again. ;):p j/k some are surf, tandem, short, long. I just checked my inventory, I am down to 5, already sold a couple.

Chris,

I use the same racks as Erinoo , very cheap at Home Depot.

Hey Eddie, that rolling all in one rack is very sweet. I'll be keeping that idea on the burner for future organizational needs. Mike

We can build it...my Dads a TV repairman, he's got an awesome set of tools!:p
Hey, if you want to hang one or more up tight to the rafters, Harbor Freight
has hoists similar to the harken hoister. Toatally worth the $10 bucks for the two sets. You'll just need from Home depot a couple eye bolts and carabiners and a tie off(cleat) to go with it. You can lift a heavy yak with 2 fingers(per end).

Hey, thats my garage!

Chris, I put 4 eye bolts into the ceiling joists( 2 in each joist about 6' from front to back and about 3' apart) then hang each kayaks from truck straps, one under the other. I have three hanging and can stil walk under them. my wife parks her harley under them. If you would like a picture let me know. Brad.

Thinkin you need something motorized to get 'em all up and outta the way Chris.
Remembered that Thresher(Frank) rigged this thing up awhile back. Also a harbor freight item.
