I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Freestanding Kayak Storage Rack

Freestanding Kayak Storage Rack

Description

The Freestanding Kayak Storage Rack by RAD Sportz is the ideal storage solution for your kayaks or paddle boards. The dual tripod bases help to keep the kayak stand stable in normal wind conditions. Hold-down anchors are included to secure the rack in place on your floor, dock, or deck. Each heavy-gauge steel kayak hanger arm features a protective padded sleeve to ensure your watercraft will not be damaged from storage. With its robust construction and stable footing, this rack stand will safely store two kayaks or stand-up paddle boards in a small area of your garage, dock, or boat house.

This durable kayak storage stand will withstand rigorous use year after year. The powder coated finish and UV-protected cushioned sleeves allow this rack to be there for you when you need it. Learn more about our sturdy kayak rack.

The freestanding rack provides compact storage for up to two kayaks, paddleboards, or race canoes. Note: the stand cannot hold traditional canoes.

The kayak or paddle board rack can be used indoors in a shed or garage, or outdoors on a deck. The sleeves are UV-protected to withstand sunny days, while the padding prevents damage to your watercraft from storage. Check out our guide to kayaking in St. Louis.

Hold-down anchors are conveniently included so your rack will stay firmly in place on your dock or deck, and dual tripod bases help to keep the kayak stand stable in normal wind conditions.

Product Details

Materials: Powder-Coated Steel, UV-coated Nylon Sleeves

Dimensions: (L) 94' x (W) 26' x (H) 52'

Weight Capacity: 175 pounds

Are there different size hooks? My perception tribe 13.5 kayak does not fit.

I'm curious if you managed to get this to work? One of the comments shows the reviewer's kayaks didn't fit as pictured but did fit if he turned them over. You review makes me wonder if this works for non-sit-on-top kayaks.

The total width is 94", what is the distance between the 2 support legs? OR, how far does the end of the rack protrude from the legs? Maybe 12"???

The distance between the legs is 72" and yes, about 12" from the end of the rack. This is a very nice rack for storing up to two kayaks. We have it set up on a side section of our backyard deck and this works great for security purposes. Good purchase!

How large is the box that it comes in?

About 2' x 3' x 8".

Has anyone had issues with the carriage bolts that are meant to secure the base? Mine are too long and don’t tighten.

I had no trouble assembling the rack. If the bolts are too long, it would be easier to go to the hardware store than try to get the right ones from the manufacturer.
