outdoor kayak storage

I am looking to store a kayak outside. I've seen different covers for kayaks on the net. Has anyone figured out a good way to protect your kayak from the elements while storing it outside?

I would be equally interested, right now we store our yaks in our barn. But what I may end up doing is building a kayak rack on the side of our tractor garage w/ cover.

I store mine hanging under my deck. As long as it's protected from the sun and off the ground the kayak should be fine.

I am wondering,  would armor-all help too?

same here.
Before I had a deck I stored all the yaks on a 2x4 built rack in the side yard and covered them with a waxed canvas tarp.
Main things are to avoid pressure points that might deform the hull in hot weather, and keeping the plastic out of the sun.

These look great, I don't have one.

There is also another cover that is basically a long bag with a zipper so everything is covered and it keeps the bugs out.

+1 for the 303   Was told that Disneyland buys the stuff by the 55 gallon drum for their rides.  Good enough for Mickey's kayaks, good enough for me.

I use the ebay version of these, and they're good for the cash. I'm unfortunately saddled with keeping these in an area with some sun, so they fade out in a year, but seem to hold together for 2-3 years just fine. I think I'll be able to get 4 years out of 'em before they're cashed for good. I wish they were white on the outside to keep heat inside the bag at a minimum, but whatcanyado?
