12 Kayak or Multiple Canoe and Kayak Storage Rack Details
The 12 Kayak or Multiple Canoe and Kayak Storage Rack is built with Northern White Cedar from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Their heavy-duty construction and natural weather-resistance make these kayak racks perfect storage options for cities, towns, villages, army bases, condo associations, state parks and other locations where they will get heavy, frequent use. Designed for functionality as well as aesthetics, they not only care for and organize multiple city boats, but they can also be matched to their surroundings being log construction.
With finishing options, you can match your kayak rack to your city dock, boathouse, park visitor center, rental office, etc… or let it turn silver/gray with no finish, or you can use your own finish if so desired. This rack holds the heaviest of canoes, Surfboard, Kayaks, and SUPS (Stand Up Paddleboards). Each boat can weigh up to 100 pounds. This rack has up to a 1200-pound capacity. We have worked with logs for over 23 years crafting log homes, furniture, and kayak racks. Each joint is glued and screwed for longevity. We use glued mortise-and-tenon joinery wherever possible. Hand made and finished by Log Artisans in Northern Wisconsin.
For Do-it-Yourselfers, use a stain or outdoor finish in the color of your choice and follow the instructions on the can. Breathable finishes will extend the life of the rack the most. It is best to let the wood age a bit prior to finishing it. This helps the stain to soak in. You can also choose to leave it unfinished. In this case, it will weather to a gray color and still last for many years.
Easy to lift kayaks in and out. Locking kayak is easy with a cable lock from local kayak store. Durable kayak storage racks, can carry the heaviest of kayaks! Soft rest UV webbing available and tie down safety straps available now.
We want you to enjoy your Log Kayak Rack for years to come. To ensure its longevity, we recommend that the feet are not in direct contact with the ground, but rather raised and set on landscaping block or a similar product.
Our Kayak Racks can be bolted to dock or such or kit can be bought for anchoring to the ground. We can install strapping to prevent any wind blowing the kayak off (this would be a rare occurrence).
For extra-long kayaks, canoes, or boats we can lengthen cross rails to accommodate. We can customize any rack for your row boat, paddle boat, etc. Several boats, kayaks, canoes, and paddle boats can fit together on the racks. Custom racks can be cemented into the ground or bolted to a platform.
Call for information as to which designs would work best for your assortment.

- Insert the sharp tip of a spiral ring anchor into the dirt near the bottom center of the rack, if you are using one twist anchor. If you are using more than one, evenly space out.
- Twist the anchor by hand so that it spirals into the soil. Stop when the spiraled section is completely hidden underground and only the ring on top of the anchor is visible.
- Run a chain, cable or straps through the ring at the top of the anchor, then pass this same line over and around the center cross rail on kayak rack.
- Secure the cable or chain using a small padlock or combination lock if desired. Tighten straps to keep rack tight to the anchors in the ground.
- This method can be completed by using a kit purchased from LogKayakRack.com or purchase your own online or from a store. This method can be used to protect the rack from being stolen or from strong winds.
