Wooden Racks to Store Small Boats

If you’re racking up the number of small boats and boards you own, you should be racking up your storage system as well. Whether you have one, two, or eight small boats or boards, Log Kayak Rack builds custom, hand-built wooden boat racks made to suit your specific needs. Based out of Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin, we’re used to being around large and small bodies of water, and we’ve come to know how best to take care of our boats and boards – by investing in a high-quality boat rack. Once we realized how important it was to have a secure and functional boat rack to store our row boats, kayaks, canoes, surf boards, and paddle boards, we knew that we weren’t alone; every avid boater, or even just a casual boater, needs a boat rack to ensure their boats and boards last as long as possible and remain in the best condition.

Hand-Crafted Wooden Boat Racks Built to Last

From start to finish, we ensure that our boat racks are sturdy and long-lasting, using Northern White Cedar wood to construct them, a wood that is rated best for weather resistance. With this promise alone, you can ensure that a wooden rack from Log Kayak Rack will last you for years without succumbing to the weather, as other woods would. Every rack we build is glued, bolted, and screwed together using galvanized screws to ensure that no matter how many boats you’re planning to store, you won’t run into any weight restrictions. In fact, each rack, depending on the size, can hold anywhere from 100 to 150 lbs. So whether you’re a once-a-day boater or a twice-a-month adventurer, if you’ve got boats, we’ve got the boat racks.

Custom Wood Racks for Small Boats & Boards

Because our custom wooden boat racks can hold canoes, kayaks, stand up paddle boards, surf boards, and any other paddle and row boats, they’re perfect for everyone who loves spending time on the water but needs a way to bring their hobby home. With wall-mounted boat racks or free standing boat racks, the versatility of your boat rack is really up to you and your boat storage needs. Wall-mounted racks can hold up to two boats or boards, and even if you invest in a free-standing boat rack for a larger number of boats and boards, your boat rack can be bolted down to anchor it to a dock or the ground, making it even safer for your boats.

Wooden Boat Racks for Easy Storage

If you’ve ever been out for a long paddle down the river or a long journey across a lake, you know how tiring it is to finally make it home and have to hose off and store your boats and boards. With our Log Kayak Rack’s wooden boat storage racks, we make the hose-down easier, allowing you to rinse your canoes, kayaks, stand up paddle boards, and surf boards with ease and without having to lug them back to the garage.

Types of Kayak Storage Racks

Now that the weather has finally warmed up, are you doing all you can to get your kayak out on the open water? If so, you’re probably dreaming of all the fun you’ll have on the water, but not thinking about how you’ll store your kayak once your time in the water is done. Many people simply drag their kayaks onto the shore and leave them until they want to use them again, while others may drag their kayaks back to their homes and simply leave them outside. At Log Kayak Rack, we literally cringe when we hear stories of incorrect kayak storage. There are a variety of reasons why you should never store your kayak, or other small boat on the ground for storage, which is why our team developed the Log Kayak Rack to store your kayaks and other small boats off the ground for added protection.

Why Do I Need a Log Kayak Rack?

• Protect your kayak – With our log kayak racks, you can store multiple kayaks, paddle boards, and other small boats off the ground, thus extending the lifetime of your small boats.
• Keep the critters at bay – By using our boat storage racks you’ll store your boats upside down, which will ensure no critters decide to make a nice home inside your kayak.
• Create a show piece – We’re a bit biased, but our kayak storage racks look amazing! Whether you choose one of our unfinished kayak storage racks, or one that’s been finished with either our natural, or canyon brown finish, we know you’ll be impressed with the finished product.
• Secure your kayaks – If you simply leave your boats on the shore, or behind your vacation home, anyone can steal them without you even knowing. With a log kayak rack, you can easily secure your boats to the rack, which will prevent would be thieves from taking off with your beloved boats.

Customized Boat Rack

If there is ever a choice between customizing or buying an item generic, what would you choose? Now maybe the generic version is perfect for you and checks off every single thing on your wish list, but the reality is that we always find flaws in products and nothing can truly be perfect unless it’s custom made to fit each and every one of your needs. That’s why at Log Kayak Rack, we offer the option to customize your boat rack.

What is a boat rack?

At Log Kayak Rack, we saw a common problem among water dwellers in the area and beyond. There was no good way to store smaller boats. Often, people will flip their kayaks and canoes over and store them on the ground. For long term storage, people will drag their beautiful boats across the ground and store them in a garage. Log Kayak Rack created our boat storage racks to provide a space in which your boat could safely be stored and preserved. We wanted an area that was simple, yet provided that much needed protection that laying it on the ground or in a garage just wouldn’t do! So we created storage systems in sizes for 2-8 boats. Each of our racks can hold kayaks, canoes, SUPs, or other small boats up to 100+ pounds. They are made so that you can easily lift your boats in and out and when the day is done, you can easily lock the kayak with a cable. All different sized boats can fit together on the racks and strapping can be installed to prevent the wind from blowing anything off. While all this was great, we found that clients needed more, they needed a customizable option.

Customizing your Boat Rack

If you can dream it, we can do it. We will customize your boat rack to fit the length, width, height, number of canoes or kayaks needed, and the length in which you want the arms of the rack itself. We will change whatever you need to get the right type of boat storage that best suits you. There are so many options when it comes to our racks. Our boat racks can either be screwed to the ground, transported from site to site, or mounted on a wall. They can be for both indoor and outdoor use. The original rack comes unstained and will weather into a beautiful grey color. If you’d like us to stain or paint your boat rack, we can customize it to match the trim of your house, shed, dock or fence – whatever you like!

Winter Paddleboard Storage

Paddle boards are some of the most versatile boats on the water these days. They can be taken out into the beautiful oceans, onto your favorite lake or river. Wherever your favorite spot for paddle boarding, you are likely running into a common problem this time of year. The cold temperatures of winter have taken hold and if you live anywhere in the Northern part of our country, you are having to park your paddle board for the winter. We know that this is likely not a reality that you welcome, but there is no denying frozen lakes and freezing temperatures. Log Kayak Rack can help you store your paddle boards this winter, so that they are in the best shape possible when the first warm days arrive next spring.

How to Store your Paddle Board Safely This Winter

Paddle boards get damaged sometimes — in the water — dings, scratches and cracks happen. But, you don’t want you board to get damaged in the winter, while it is being stored. The last thing you want to have to do is get your board repaired before you can take it out next spring. Here’s a quick and easy step by step guide to safely storing your SUP over winter.

Step One: Remove Fin

Take the fin out of your standup paddleboard and reattach the plate and screw to the fin. Store it all together in a safe place (preferably somewhere you’ll be able to find it in the spring.)

Step Two: Rinse

Rinse your SUP carefully and thoroughly with your garden hose and wipe off. If your paddle is adjustable, take it apart and rinse each piece carefully before putting back together and storing.

Step Three: Store.

Find a safe spot to keep your board, preferably a rack designed to store standup paddleboards, where it won’t get knocked over or damaged during winter.
