Storing Canoes: Storage & Display Options

Do you have a love for exploring the water on a canoe? Being out on the open water in a canoe can be extremely relaxing and offers a way to unwind from our fast paced technologically driven world. Paddling around in a canoe can be a great way to spend time with family and friends away from the distractions that are so common in today’s world.

But the one problem with canoes is that they are large, heavy and take up a lot of space. When it comes to storing your canoes, this can be a challenge. While you may be tempted to just store your canoe on the ground, it’s much better to use a canoe storage and display system that keeps your canoe off the ground and protected. At Log Kayak Rack we offer a variety of storage options for canoe lovers!

Convenient Storage for Paddlers

There is an infamous scene in the movie when they are hiding behind a dozen canoes right by the lake. One wrong move, and Poof!, the canoes came tumbling down, destroying the storage system, and blowing their cover.

Featured in Cabin Life 2015

Many log cabins are located on lakes and rivers with guests enjoying not only the water view but also using the water for recreation. When it comes to water recreation, kayaks, canoes, and stand up paddle boards (SUPs) are great options. Cabin Life is a magazine that features log cabin living at its finest and features not only beautifully decorated cabins but also recreational activities that are popular with cabin living. Log Kayak Rack is proud to be featured in the June 2015 issue of Cabin Life as being “the most attractive option for boat storage”.

Handcrafted Log Storage Racks

If you are a fan of kayaks, canoes, and SUPs, you know that storage is key to keeping your boats in the best condition possible. Day to day storage is important, and although you likely hate when the warm weather ends, putting a temporary end to the use of your boat, seasonal storage is also incredibly important to maintaining your water craft. Cabin Life put it well by saying that Log Kayak Rack offers storage racks that are “both practical and beautiful”.

Our storage systems are made from northern white cedar logs and are naturally weather resistant. In fact, they will stand the test of time and weather even if left untreated. When choosing a storage unit for your kayaks, canoes, and SUPs, choosing Log Kayak Rack is supporting a family owned company with products made right here in the USA. As Cabin Life says, Log Kayak Rack “offers several styles ranging from single-boat racks to one that accommodates eight crafts”. As far as our designs go, we offer:

  • 2, 4, 6, or 8 place kayak/canoe rack
  • 2 place double sided kayak/canoe rack
  • 2 place mountable kayak/canoe rack
  • Custom kayak/canoe rack

Practical and Beautiful Storage Systems

Purchasing one of our storage systems means you will be buying something that is not only built from beautiful wood, but is also incredibly useful for storing your boats. The practicality comes in the fact that our systems are moveable. During the summer months, you can leave the system in an area with easy access to the water. The Log Kayak Rack storage system is durable enough to stay outside, but once the weather turns cold and you want to keep you boats out of the elements, the storage system can easily be moved indoors. On the flip side, if you do not have a need to move the storage system, it can be permanently affixed where you want it.

Log Kayak Rack is the company to go to for your kayak, canoe, and SUP storage systems, as seen in Cabin Life. Visit our website at www.logkayakrack.com or call us at (715) 543-2006 to place an order.

FAQ’s of our Log Kayak Racks

Are you a water sports enthusiast? Have you been looking for an American-made log rack to store your precious boat collection? At Log Kayak Rack, we create attractive and durable storage systems for your kayak, canoe, and paddle boards. A quick search of our website, will reveal many desirable styles of white cedar wood racks, either standard or custom-made, to protect and efficiently organize your priceless collection, both indoors and out.

What are the benefits of using a Log Kayak Rack?

Our Log Kayak Racks are made of durable northern white cedar wood that will last as long as 25 years and is rated best for weather resistance. If you wish to preserve the life of your rack, you can order it with a finish, which is considered an upgrade, or you can finish it yourself. However, it is best to let the wood age before finishing it. Alternatively, our racks can also remain unfinished and they will still last many years.

Our standard Log Kayak Racks are strong enough to hold 2-person kayaks and single kayaks. The standard racks can also accommodate the 38 inch wide and 14 foot long equipment that you have. However, if you are concerned that this may inhibit the ease of usage, we can lengthen the rack or the cross members. Customization can be done on just about every part of our rack: length, width, height, length of arms, and number of boats. Additionally, our standard racks can offer your boats security as they can be bolted to any wood surface with wood screws. And, our custom models can either be secured to your dock or into the cement or the ground.

You may have noticed small cracks in the exterior of the wood of the logs. There is no need to be concerned. These natural cracks will not compromise the structure or the sturdiness of the rack. The small cracks will never extend beyond the middle of the log.

Paddle Boat Storage

If you’re a big fan of paddle boats you understand how large and hard these boats can be when it comes time to store them. You have to worry about their large size and most boat storage racks simply aren’t big enough to accommodate paddle boats. Thankfully Log Kayak Rack offers fully customized storage racks to meet your exact need. We can make modifications to our existing storage racks to accommodate your paddle boats or even just for paddle storage for small boats. We offer both free standing as well as wall mounted storage racks depending on your needs.

Why do I need a boat storage rack?

While boats love the water just like you do, they need to be protected when not in use. One of the easiest ways to properly store your paddle boat is using a storage stand that lifts your boat out of the water and protects it from the elements. Water and moisture can still do damage to your boat if it’s not properly stored. At Log Kayak Rack we’ve been helping boat lovers protect their prized possessions for years, and we’re happy to help you as well.

Our racks are built right here in the USA!

One of our proudest accomplishments is the fact that all of our boat racks are designed and produced right here in the US.

Canoe Selection & Care Tips

At Log Kayak Rack, we’re in love with our boats, canoes, kayaks and stand up paddle boards. Because of this we’re always working to properly care for our boats so that we can continue to enjoy time out on the water. From choosing the right canoe, planning your outings, proper care in and out of the water and storage, there are a variety of things that you can do to properly care for your canoe. We’ve highlighted a few of these tips for our fellow boat lovers.

Think About the Type of Canoe You Need

There are a whole host of canoe sizes and options so it’s important to know your canoe’s limits before entering the water. Canoes are not meant for white water rafting adventures, so be sure to avoid testing the limits of your canoe, which could end badly.

Canoes can be made from a variety of materials such as aluminum, fiberglass, Kevlar, cedar strips and other materials.

Plan Your Canoeing Adventure Accordingly

When using your canoe, it’s important to plan for whatever adventure you’re embarking upon. Keep the following things in mind when planning for your next canoe trip:

  • Don’t make the mistake of overloading your boat.
  • Be sure to balance the load
  • Don’t drag your loaded boat into or out of the water
  • Avoid rocks and other sharp objects
  • Make sure to clean your canoe after using it
  • Be careful when transporting or portaging your canoe
  • Store your canoe properly when not in use

Proper Canoe Storage

Proper canoe storage is extremely important to extend the life of your boat. Many people think that canoes can just be thrown on the ground anywhere, but this can actually cause damage to your boat. A few things to keep in mind when storing your canoe:

  • Keep your canoe off the ground
  • Keep your canoe dry when storing
  • Always store your canoe upside down
  • Protect your canoe from extreme weather and possibly even use a cover when storing your canoe for extended periods of time. Whatever cover you use, it should allow for air circulation to prevent mold and other issues from occurring.

Log Kayak Rack Has the Perfect Canoe Storage Rack

At Log Kayak Rack we offer a variety of different canoe storage racks to meet your needs. Whether you need to store one canoe or multiple, we offer a wide range of extremely versatile yet heavy duty canoe racks. For more information on our storage racks give us a call today at 715-543-2006.
