Kayak Winter Storage?
Is it best to store it in a heated basement if possible?? Will the extreme cold or temp swings cause any problems if stored in a cold garage?? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated!

suspended from the ceiling indoors where its dry
plastics are susceptible to mold and are affected by ultra violet rays of even winter sunshine... just my .02 cents |
Last year I wrapped mine in a blue tarp and slung it from the clothes line. I ran a 2x8 from post to post to dangle it from old seatbelts.

I have mine sitting on big styrofoam blocks right now....think that will be ok?:confused:

Depending on the construction of your Cave, hang it from the collar ties, or slide it on your rafters.

DO NOT hang it from the two ends.......it will sag over time.
If you decide to hang it in the basement, I wood suggest making a "hanging shelf" from a piece of ply wood and some rope hanging from the rafters, then sit the kayak on it. That being said, I have stored mine in the garage for years without issue. |
i'd have it on my living room wall and let the cat sleep in it. :rotf2:
good place to hide the candy and a great conversation piece. :grins: |
It's fine stored outdoors Larry. Best to put it on it's side, but the way you have it supported, it'll be okay. Just cover it with a poly tarp from O.S. Job Lot.
I didn't even cover mine last year. The problems I had with my kayak were not related to cold or UV light. |
