2 Person Kayak Rack

Kayaking is one of those hobbies that’s more than just a hobby. When you’re an avid kayaker, you live for the next opportunity to get out on the water – and you probably hate the moment you have to head back to shore. Between leaving the beauties of the water behind and putting your boating equipment away properly, the joy of being out on the water can seem distant once you’ve finally washed your kayak and gotten it safely put away. But what if putting your boat away wasn’t such a chore? What if you could easily store your kayak and get it back out again quickly, without any hassle? At Log Kayak Rack, our mission is to make boating less of a chore so that you can enjoy kayaking as much as you should. With our USA made two-person kayak racks, you can do just that.

In-Ground, Free-Standing, Wall-Mounted and Dock-Mounted Kayak Racks

One of the biggest benefits of choosing Log Kayak Rack to supply your kayak rack is that you have options. And we don’t just mean “blue or black?” We mean you get to choose the design of your kayak rack, from the shape and size to whether it’s mounted or free-standing in your home or outside. All of these options are possible! Two-person kayak racks are easy to customize because they can fit just about anywhere. We build free-standing indoor and outdoor kayak racks, wall-mounted and dock-mounted racks, and in-ground kayak racks that are more permanent fixtures on your property. Whatever you choose, you’ll see that there are more than enough choices, with every type of rack you might want available to you.

Kayak Rack Finish Options

Everyone likes to be able to get exactly the product they want; no one likes to settle on the color or shape or size just because it’s what’s available. At Log Kayak Rack, we’re all about enjoying the natural look of wood, and that’s why our kayak racks are made from high-quality Northern White Cedar. Our finish options for kayak racks include:

• Unfinished Cedar – If you prefer the natural look of wood, you can choose an unfinished rack. Keep in mind that the color will change over time as the wood is exposed to the elements, but the wood itself will last a good 25 years.
• SuperDeck Natural – One coat: Brings out the grains and neutral color of the wood but also adds moisture and UV protection that unfinished wood does not have, allowing the rack’s wood to stay solid for longer.
• SuperDeck Canyon Brown – One coat: Offers moisture and UV protection for longer-lasting wood, just like the natural finish, but this is a darker brown that may suit your tastes more than a lighter wood color.
Custom Wood Kayak Rack

If you’re looking for a custom two-person kayak rack for your home or property, look no further than Log Kayak Rack. Our USA made kayak racks are perfect for indoor and outdoor use, and you have the opportunity to choose from a wide selection of rack styles until you find the right fit for you.

  • Sit In Kayaks – These kayaks have a cockpit that you slip into. This option great for those looking to stay dry and more protected, as the lower half your body is protected from the water, wind and sun. Sit in kayaks range in price and material, they can start at a little below $200 and reach well over $1000.

Proper Equipment for Kayaking

Paddlers everywhere are traveling to new places and seeing new spaces, as are the kayaks they glide on. It is important to be prepared out there on the water, phones can get wet, sunglasses dropped, rough rapids can come up and temperatures can drop quickly… A kayak, paddles, life-vests, some bungee cords, lunch and a dry bag are just some of the basic equipment suggested to kayak with. At times, it is critical to pack more, especially in cold weather. Below is a list of some suggested equipment to bring on a daytime kayaking trip.

List of Equipment for Kayaking

  • Extra Paddle – It is safe to say that no one intends to be up a creek and without a paddle, yet it still happens. Knowing this, just bring along an extra paddle and hopefully it is for nothing.
  • Maps – Wrong turns happen and when they do it is nice to be able to quickly steer yourself back on course and journey the route you had planned, instead of flowing down unknown waters.
  • Matches/Lighter/Fire Starter – It is never a bad thing to know how to start a fire or to have fire as an option at any time. Let’s say things get a little wetter than expected, which easily happens around water, no biggy – just have a shore fire and dry off, warm up, maybe eat a snack and be on your way.
  • First Aid – A solid first aid kit is a must, even when just going down the creek near your home. It is important to be able to address any injuries immediately as they happen. Utilizing your first aid kit will prevent infections, blood loss and it can be a critical tool in a time of need.
  • Dry Suit – This is a must for kayaking in cold weather. If you are braving it and one of those ‘the cold doesn’t bother me anyway’ be sure to stay toasty warm, even when water splashes with a dry suit.
  • Compass – It is never a good idea to journey into the woods and leave your compass behind. Put it to use, make it a learning moment for the family or your significant other when all goes well.
  • Water – You better be packing that H20!

There are so many other things you can choose to use while kayaking the waters, these are just a few…

How do I Preserve the Life of this Kayak Rack?

While we do build our Log Kayak Racks to last for many years, they are not indestructible. In the same way that you take precautions with other valuables and possessions, there are steps that can help preserve the life of a kayak rack. At Log Kayak Rack, our team does the leg work during the manufacturing process to ensure a long life expectancy. Now it’s your turn to help preserve this protective storage unit for your kayak.

Key Ways to Preserve Your Cedar Kayak Rack

To help protect our long lasting northern white cedar kayak racks, we encourage our customers to practice the following key steps:

● Raised Legs – Raising the legs of your Log Kayak Rack on something similar to a landscaping block will help keep your storage rack dry. Having constant contact with the moist ground can cause weakened wood and rotting.
● Utilize a Finish – Applying a finish to your Log Kayak Rack can help provide added protection for your kayak rack. An added finish can help protect your rack from excessive sunlight, weathering and regular aging. Let our team provide you with a finish upgrade before purchasing or apply a finish to your rack on your own. We have found that breathable finishes extend the life of these kayak rack’s the most. Letting the existing northern white cedar wood age a bit before you apply the finish is ideal so that the stain you choose can soak in thoroughly.

By investing in a kayak storage rack from Log Kayak Rack, your kayak will rest above ground, allowing it to dry quickly.
