I have looked for many different ways of store my kayak since im going to keep it in the garage. As always I like going online to shop for what I am looking for. I shopped at 4 different places:
1.Outdoor Pursuits was one of store I looked at and they offer 6 racks for the garage. I like how them had a table and easy to read charts to help me make a better shopping experience.
- Ajillis 71 Kayak Storage Rack
- Best Kayak Storage Rack Wall Mount

- SpareHand Freestanding Dual Storage Rack
- RAD Sportz Freestanding Kayak Rack
- Delta Cycle El Greco Hoist
Our reviews of the top rated kayak storage racks with a comparison table and our buyers guide below will help you choose a rack for you.
2. Get Fishing Equipment was another great online store to shop look through. Get Fishing Equipment asked you some questions unlike the other online store so here it is I will share it with you, “
Your choice for a system will, therefore, depend on a variety of factors, and here are a few factors you should use to guide you in making the right choice :
- The size of your storage space– if you have a small garage that barely fits your car, then you will be better off with a kayak hoist system. If you are not limited in terms of space, then you may be free to consider the other systems.
- The frequency of use – going for the best kayak racks is ideal if you need long term storage, and it will not be convenient if you have to use the kayak every now and then. If you love going padding every weekend, then your best choice is to consider a system that will take the least of time to mount and unmount the kayak.
- The number of kayaks you want to store – the number of kayaks you own will also determine the kind of storage system you go for. If you have more than one kayak, you will need more space for the storage compared to just having one kayak. Again, if you have small space but more than one kayak, you should consider systems that won’t eat up the entire space.
- Your physicality – your physicality will determine whether you are comfortable with hoist systems that will require least effort to operate, or if you will go for a system with mechanical hoists that may require some effort to operate.”

4. House and Garden DIY is the fourth online store I look in, They had some good ideas and some bad ideas, I will share with you the good ideas that you can use in the garage.
a. Kayak Ceiling Storage Ideas
b. Hanging Kayak Storage Garage Ideas
c. Kayak Storage Ideas Garage
I like the ideas but it didn’t really address where to buy the kayak racks.
What is the best area to store my kayak in my garage?
I have decided to store my kayak in the garage, but I am wondering where is a good place. I have looked at 4 online stores and 6 different styles of racks. Now I am really to store my kayak out of the way from my truck and trailer.
“Decide where to store your kayak. You need an area with enough space for your kayak. Measure your kayak and your storage space ahead of time to make sure your kayak will fit. Kayaks take up a lot of room and should not be in contact with other objects when being stored. It is best to store it indoors so that it is protected. You could store it in a garage, basement, shed, or any other indoor storage area.” https://www.wikihow.com/Store-a-Kayak
Wikihow always gives you all kinds of suggests what to do with you question you ask them. So I am staying with the garage wall idea.
I am going to put it on the right side of the wall as it has more room to hang the kayak and still get by once I get out of my truck. If you buy one of the kayak racks from one of the online stores you will be using a affiliate website that is not mine, but they are using Amazon.com
