Kayak Storage Outside - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

sdfishman · 07-17-2011, 10:52 PM

I have a 1 car garage and 3 kayaks in it. Need to make room. I was wondering if I can store the kayaks outside (the side of my house doesn't get direct sunlight) on a rack? Right now I have them on a pully rig on my garage ceiling and it's being to be a pain in the ass.

ive stored my kayak on the side of the house with a tarp and no problems so far since november. I have a mango colored kayak.

Sounds good. I was told they need to be stored inside so I wanted to check before I make a rack to store them outside..

Just remember that 8 legged friends like to climb up onto dry things when the yak gets wet...

ive got my stealth12 stored on the side yard on 2 extra saw horses my dad had. Got some foam padding on the top of each sawhorse between the metal and the yak and keep them closer together towards the center of the kayak with a tarp covering it. So far so good, but samsam there ive only had mine since the beginning of the year so doesnt really show the long term effects. Seems like it should be fine

I think OEX sells kayak covers, don't remember the cost but it wouldn't hurt to give them a call.
