Boats: Canoe Storage

Canoe Storage

Few things can beat the feeling of bringing home a new boat. That fresh boat smell, that fresh boat shine, and the promises of great times on the water. But where does this new boat go? On the garage floor? Leaned on the wall in the hallway? Out in the side yard in the grass? These don’t seem fitting to your new baby. Here are a few storage options to keep your boats out of the way and possibly on display for the world to see.

With its simple metal arms, this wall-mounted rack is a step up from just a strap or rope system. Since the two arms are independent of each other, they can be mounted any distance apart, allowing for a wide range of boat lengths. Boats are suspended on straps so that they don’t get scratched or dented. Extending only two feet from the wall, this rack saves space, and can be used both indoors and out. This rack system has a spare, functional style, with heavy-duty arms that should hold up to years of abuse. Suspenz also makes a free standing two- to four-boat rack if you have more boats to store, or you don’t have the wall space for the wall-mounted rack. They also offer a “Marine Grade” version of their racks that are specifically designed to withstand a salty environment.
