I've got some time and want to build a pvc kayak rack.  I assume I'd build 2 or 4 pvc rectangles and bolt them in the center then strap them.  But if anyone has pictures of theirs that they would share, I'd really like to look at some before I get to it (side view/top view would be especially helpful)

Gowen, I like yours and suspect that I'd like to duplicate, if you could send pics that'd be huge.

I guess I'm really deciding between 1 long, bed type, stand or 2 stands that hold up the ends.

Thanks in advance for any help

I got one of the two rectangle kind. I made it more perm by attaching it to a couple of 2x4's with casters on the bottom so I can roll it to my truck bed and onto the lawn for washdown. I'll update with some pics later this evening.

Hey, I saw a really cool one on the Aqua hunters forum.  There's a pvc one that's cool, but I like the one made of two by fours that you will find if you scroll half way down the page.  http://forum.aquahunters.com/index.php?topic=1572.0

Pics as promised. I also added a two sections of rope on the top PVC bars. This adds a little extra support so the top of the frame doesn't spread apart. The cool part IMHO are the casters. I lucked out and the bottom of the yak in the rack is the exact height of my truck bed so it makes loading and unloading a snap. Oh and I added a place to hold my paddle and all the extra bits (stake out pole, shrimp sucker, bait tube)
