Truly, that’s all you really need to own a kayak: the kayak itself and a double-bladed paddle. But what would be the fun in that? There are so many type of kayak accessories and any outdoor store you visit will go crazy on trying to sell you things. So here’s the real scoop! We will show you some nice and important accessories for kayaks as long as you remember this: there are so many types of kayak accessories but the most important one is Log Kayak Rack’s kayak storage rack!

Accessories For The Fisherman

If you are using your kayak for fishing purposes, the accessories on your bad boy are limitless! Many avid kayak fisherman state that a rod holder, navigational system, cooler system, and a good trolling motor are a must! Anchors and stakes can help hold you in place. A cooler system or a live well will help to keep both your gear and fish caught. The mounts and holders on a kayak are plentiful and finding some based on your needs is key. Tools and knives that have hooks or can easily be attached to the kayak can be a tremendous help when you are trying to get a fish off a line. Of course, maps and books are a must depending on the area you are exploring! Accessories come and go but the base of your kayak will always stay the same!

Your Most Important Accessory

What good is all of the fancy accessories and super nice kayak if it doesn’t have a proper place to be stored? “Out back” or “on the grass” and even “in the garage” are not proper locations to store your kayak and damage is almost always inevitable. As you make these enormous investments in kayaks and all of the accessories that they can entail, don’t forget that storage should be the top priority. Log Kayak Racks have weather resistant and durable kayak/canoe racks that will keep your kayak safely stored away when it’s not in use. By lifting them off of the ground, you are preventing breakdown, mold, and mildew from occurring. Not only does it look nice both indoors and outdoors, its functional use is unlike any other storage rack system on the market. Log Kayak Rack can customize your weather resistant and durable kayak/canoe racks to fit your needs and lifestyle so that you are getting exactly what you want – including making room for all of your accessories.

Kayak, Canoe and SUP Protection

Purchasing a new Kayak, Canoe or SUP is a big investment. You are wise to do all that you can to protect them from being harmed by the elements. Actions such as dragging a canoe can cause significant damage and affect how well it performs on the water. Lifting and moving canoes may result in unnecessary wear and tear. Rodents and bugs can inflict their own brand of damage to your Valuable Watersports Gear. Prolonged exposure to UV Rays is one of the biggest contributors to damaging Kayaks, Canoes and SUPs. Proper Storage on a Log Kayak Rack provides wonderful protection. Models are available with a Roof for UV Protection to guard against sun damage.

Every Size Storage Racks for Canoes / Kayaks / SUPs

Beautiful Log Storage Racks are available in several different sizes and configurations. If you don’t see exactly what you are looking for, simply contact Log Kayak Rack to have a unit custom designed to fit your needs.

These attractive storage racks can be used either indoors or outside near the water.

Keep your boat stored up away from bugs and rodents and displayed beautifully in a convenient location.

Protection from Harmful UV Rays

Abundant sunshine can be a kayakers dream but it is one of the toughest elements on the finish of your kayak. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun can be very harmful for Kayaks as well as Canoes and SUPs. An innovative roofing system can be included with your purchase of a Log Kayak Rack. It can block out excessive sunlight and provide Protection from Harmful UV Rays.

Weatherproof Kayak/Canoe/SUP Rack

If you have a love for the outdoors then you’re likely a fan of boating as well. If you have a kayak, canoe or stand up paddle board you know just how fun these toys can be out on the water.

  • Store your boats off of the ground to protect them from the elements

Quality Kayak/Canoe Storage Systems

Kayaks and canoes can be great fun, but storing them can be a headache. Some people leave them turned over on the ground all year long, making them a perfect place for animals to sleep under. Raccoons are not the nice, cuddly creatures we see in Disney movies, and finding one sleeping under your over-turned canoe is not exactly a welcome surprise. Some people hang their kayaks in the garage or store them in a boat house, but the Styrofoam in them can be an excellent source of warmth for mice in the winter. If you own a kayak, ensure that is stays in great condition by storing it properly with the help from Log Kayak Rack.

Storage System Specialized for Kayaks and Canoes

Specialized storage racks for kayaks and canoes are your best option. These racks can be free-standing or attachable to docks, garages, or even trees. Storage racks allow kayaks and canoes (and other items) to be stored off the ground, therefore preventing animals from sleeping under them and lessening the probability of mice chewing on them. Storing those items off the ground also prevents them from collecting mud during rain storms. The proper storage rack will allow your equipment to stay in better condition and therefore last longer.

Different Materials used for Kayak and Canoe Storage Systems:

  • Wood
  • Steel/Stainless Steel
  • Aluminum
  • PVC Piping
  • Straps/Pulley Hoists

Appealing Kayak Storage System

All the above storage options are all suitable materials for storing water equipment, but the benefits gained from wood, especially cedar log racks, are hard to ignore. Steel can last 25 years or so, but it can be rather ugly standing between the trees and next to a lake. Cedar log racks do not need to be painted and can be aesthetically pleasing sitting next to some sun-drenched beach property.

Easy to Use Kayak/Canoe Storage System

Log racks also make retrieving or storing a kayak or canoe very easy. Pulley hoists work well if someone knows what they’re doing, but a child and even teenagers can have complications with them (we all know how teenagers get lobotomies at 13 and aren’t given their brains back for about a decade). Imagine a careless teenager trying to get a kayak down from a pulley hoist. Cedar racks make retrieving and storing equipment a breeze.

Cedar log racks are also durable, obviously capable of withstanding the harshest elements (including teenagers). PVC can crack under extreme cold and aluminum can corrode, but cedar is weatherproof and can last in the same conditions for years.

Quality Storage Construction

Another advantage of cedar, particularly native species such as the Northern White Cedar, is that the racks are guaranteed to be made in North America. Non-native wood can have the possibility of being illegally imported. But buying native cedar means you have no risk of buying some cheaply made piece of metal spewed out on an assembly line from the other side of the world.

Of course, racks such as these can be used for more than just kayaks and canoes. Stand-up paddleboards, wakeboards, surfboards, water skis, and rafts are all possible uses for cedar log racks.

Custom Kayak Racks

No matter what time of year it is, going kayaking is a great exercise. Whether you are doing it to get outdoors, exercise, or relieve some mental stress, a kayak is a great tool for those living on or near water. We always think of kayaks as being out on the lake or ocean but what happens to them when you aren’t enjoying them? Unfortunately, many people shove them in the garage or on the floor in their house! This is not good! Kayaks are made for the water! Placing them anywhere else could ruin their integrity and cause great damage. Fortunately, Log Kayak Rack has a great solution! Whatever your needs are, we can custom create your very own kayak rack!

Customizable Kayak Racks

In this day in age, it’s almost a little silly to buy something that isn’t customized to fit our needs. Why would you get a pair of shoes that didn’t fit your feet? Why would you buy a house if it couldn’t be customized to your liking? In the same token, why would you buy storage for your kayaks if it didn’t fit all of them on it? Customization is great!

If we don’t have something that already fits your needs, we can easily customize it for you to make it work. This most commonly occurs when people do not just have kayaks but a multitude of small boats. We can customize your racks to hold canoes, kayaks, stand up paddle boards, and other small boats so that you can fit everything all in one storage area!
