Sawhorses for storage - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I made up a set using brackets and lumber from Home Depot. These don't fold up so if you need that, it won't work for you. Pretty inexpensive and you can make them any size you want.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. As much as I'd love the expandable HD versions, they cost $60 for the pair. These harbor freight ones have a coupon for $9.99 each. I am thinking along the lines of maybe using a thick pvc and cutting it in half longitudinally. that could rest on top of the sawhorses maybe.

I wonder if it's ok to support the yak closer to each end where it is narrower. You think? or will the boat sag?

I used the husky sawhorses and covered with carpet which helps sliding it off and on. I lined up the saw horses under my scupper holes then secured both saw horses with 2x4's in each side because they kept sliding around and moving out of place when i was unloading. Now i just back my truck up to the sawhorse and slide the kayak out of my truckbed onto them. Much more stable as a single unit nowimage.jpg
