How To Hang A Kayak For Storage?

This DIY tutorial demonstrates how to store a kayak in your garage using wooden planks and a wall. The ideal place for storing a big, bulky watercraft is in your garage, with hanging it to keep it safe and clean. The easiest way to do this is by screwing a storage rack to the side of an exterior wall. To store your kayak upright, use a scrubber or sponge to thoroughly wash the kayak and rinse it out with clean water.

For inflatable or folding kayaks, storage is simple, but traditional hard-shell kayaks can be difficult to store due to their size and weight. Attaching kayak storage racks to the side of an exterior wall for easy access is ideal for off-season kayaking. Hang the boat so that the hull faces up toward the ceiling to protect the hull from being bent.

There are two best ways to store your kayak in a garage: a storage rack or a hoist system. Horizontal racks are slightly more convenient, but horizontal racks are slightly more expensive. Hanging your kayak upside down using bars or straps anchored to the ceiling is a good way to keep it completely out of the way, not taking up floor or wall space in your garage. Install your system into the ceiling studs to prevent your kayak from falling.

In summary, this DIY tutorial provides a simple and affordable solution for storing your kayak in your garage. By placing wooden planks on the ground and placing the kayak right side up on the planks, you can ensure the kayak stays safe and clean.
