How do you store your kayak(s) ?

Unfortanyly i live in a small apartment with no garage, so my yak is in the backyard on 2 saw horses wrapped in a large tarp burrito. Anyone got any good tips for outside storage?

Just picked up a T140 and still trying to figure out how to store it, but previous posts gave me plenty of ideas. Thanks guys for posting.

I put together this thing down in my basement.  Don't have room for a hoist setup, or much other setup at all.  I can secure the kayak verticly as pictured, or swing out the arms and lay the kayak horizontally at a good working height. There is now a second set of support arms at ground level for the second kayak

Doesn't everyone do it like this?

Being a single dad has it's advantages - one being if I want to work on my kayak in the living room - dammit, no one can tell me not to.

Actually - even though this is a terrible picture - I keep the new T-11 in my tiny single car garage ratchet strapped to the ceiling, with some pipe insulation padding.  It's tight, but I can get it up and down by myself, so it works for now.

My kayaks are taking up too much space in my garage/workshop, so I built this...

 

  Until recently. I kept my OB outside chained to supports under my residence, and covered with a silver sided tarp.  I checked on it one day in the middle of the day , very hot out and the hull was extremely hot to the touch!  I popped open the rear hatch, and after discovering  itshull temp was really hot I moved the hull inside.
   So now my Outback resides in my hallway.  I kinda forgot how big this hull is!  No more hull getting baked by sun now, (At least until the wife visits again  )

The Trailer really helps for storage and can be taken out when other projects need tending to

My prowler thirteen stays on my man van! The others here!

ahhhhh old whitey! still going strong! with some custom paint! made me smile to see her again!

you guys w/ all your yaks, making me jealous 

IMO: this is the best way to store a yak (I used to work for a kayak shop)

Storing a kayak on it's side keeps the hull from "oil canning" and most importantly, keep it away from the sun - for long term storage.

Rainy day and old ladders and play with the spool gun welder.  Make new rack for the yaks.

sorry no pics.

run a standard strap around both bow and stern stress points, invert boat. [deck down]

attach one leg of home made two leg pulley system to each end of boat. hoist to rafters of car port. tie off on cleats. 

word of warning; make sure you have ceilings at least 9 feet high!!

My brother and I made this yesterday it took 3 pieces of wood and some plywood, for a grand total of $46.
