Where and how you store your crap (kayak, fishing, diving gear)

 

Get some totes and shelving and get that pile off the floor. It looks like there it room up top. Gert some plywood and make a deck to slide less used stuff up there....oh and stop hording water and laundry detergent

my wife does some couponing.her shelves took my kayak parking spot.

I just need another wall, to add to my fleet. Mahoney brackets work for me.

when you leave your yaks stored in the j hooks it doesn't leave dents in the hull.

I made this roll around cart for the garage. Wheel it out for work space and wheel it in for the night.

how much would you charge for something like that.that would work pretty well for me I think

For one boat?


P.S. Captain Yak has got a sweet set up if you have the wall space.

yeah just one.dont even know when ill have the money for that.no wall space,but being able to move it around will help out a lot.

I think I could scrounge up the steel tubing. They sell casters at harbor freight. Probably could make a cart for one boat around 150.00

You can get a hoist kit to hang a yak from the ceiling.  I have two mountain bikes stored from the ceiling with hoist kits.  I think I got the kits at REI. 

I tried to do the ceiling thing but I couldn't find an area in my garage that worked. It was always in the way of one of the doors. I really like the looks of that metal cart. I'm sure the metal one is nicer, making one out of wood is cheaper and can be made by most anyone with a saw. I had to go with smaller casters so it would fit under the garage door.

Hey Craig, can I please see a picture of your cart from the side?  I'd like to make one

About those J hooks causing dents. I'm glad you said something about that because I believe they would cause dents after time. So I put short pieces of a pool noodle between the J hook and the kayak. Problem solved. Thanks for the heads up.

To finish it I put a piece of ply on the bottom for storage. Hooks on the upright in the back to hang stuff from. The paddles store well in the top. This originally was a roll around table at the shop that I built to assemble and store car parts during the collision repair process. So you can see from the backside that its overkill on the frame work.

I have mine stored in the backyard on saw horses I bought from home depot and covered with a tarp when not in use
