Let's see your Garage kayak stand/storage ideas!

Well I kinda meant how the very bottom kayak is on the floor just on foam blocks on its side... Could I do that same thing? Just some foam blocks on some 2x4 on the floor laying up against the wall? So it would be sideways, I wouldn't have to lift it high up in the air and out of the way to park our cars back in the garage?

Yes but get some caster wheels and build a box frame and a wooden J style back board. There's one pictured above.

This one... Don't think it has back boards though.

Perfect! Guess I got my new project! Will show finished product if I start today. Thanks for the help mojo. 👍

no sweat just remember don't over think things.

What's funny right after you said that (don't over think it) I remembered I have an old futon in the garage that hasn't been used in years and it seems like it would hold the yak perfectly on its side not high and cushioned 😊👍👍 I guess with a couple straps modded onto it, that will be my rack. Loll

So here's what I did. Is this good way to store it Without worrying about any deformation/oil canning etc...?

As long as it's a cart with a cradle, not posts through the scuppers, I think you're fine.

My Talic seahorse stand just arrived and I'm using that for my Outback. Mrs. P's Tarpon 10 is hanging from one of those pully system deals.

I'm still debating on how to store my kayak!! [emoji30] It ways 95lbs so turning it on its side or upside down is a pain! Plus lifting it on the wall sideways is damn near impossible. So how did the talics work out? I want to leave my kayak stored right side up and not worry about anything like warping and also have it ready to be loaded and go fishing. Any thoughts anyone?

So far, so good. I just lift the bow up and slide the Talic under, then repeat with the stern. Undo the cart keeper before you lift.

The hull rests in the straps which distributes the weight.

When you want to take her out, just insert the cart and use the cart keeper pin ti hold the cart in place. Drop the stern and you have wheels on the ground. Lift the bow and wheel away.

I'll know in a few months if there is any unexpected deformation but I really rather doubt it.

I don't see it being an issue that's probably the most comfortable kayak on the forum, I don't see the pillow and blanket.
Fixed your picture.

Thanks for fixing the picture 👍. This kayak is my first real big investment in fishing so figured it deserved a life of luxury loll... Just glad I never ended up tossing that futon away. 😂

I finally finished mine so here are some Pictures. I am blessed with wall space and like to hang them on the wall but they have been taking up floor space for too long. I made these hangers out of a sheet of plywood, two 2x6's, and a handful of deck screws
The profile was copied from some J-racks I bought.







Now they are out of the way.




Well, I'm not sure how to get rid of that extra picture, I tried.

I Google "DIY PIC PROJECT" and found some good cheap ideas.  I am  using pvc for storage for both my PA and AI.  I transport my PA  on pvc with a trailer hitch extension in my Sequoia and can  park anywhere.  I don't need to pay at any pay ramp launches in county or state parks per park enforcement officers since I have no trailer.  They are charging for the space a truck and  trailer takes.  I do pay for parking, but that is cheaper than paying for both. 

These hangers are about 5 bucks at Home Depot and work great.

Now you tell us. That's what I should have done. Best one yet.

If only I could see the walls in my garage, I would do this.
