We are finally getting a kayak rack built for (at least) our sit-in kayaks for better storage, protection, and management. We keep them covered with tarps, but we live on a year round creek under a lage canopy of Oaks. The leaves, debris, pollen, spiders, and spider weds are unrelenting and it seems like we have to wash/rinse the kayaks and vacuum the insides every time we want to use them.
This two piece rack is designed to have a canopy roof attached, but we are going to start with it under a 16x8 folding/expandable commercial canopy. This should also give us room to store the two sit-on-top kayak we use most (for fishing and cocktail paddles 😁) on the pavement beneath the lower long boats.
There will be slings attached to the back side of this rack like the section shown for a total of six kayaks.
Update: All compartment with slings.
