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.

Kayak Accessories

It’s a thing of beauty, isn’t it? That small, narrow kayak that snuggly tucks you into its cockpit and let’s you take it on adventure after adventure…it’s a beautiful thing. The way that a kayak can glide through still water with a slight push of a double-bladed paddle is something that will make any avid kayakers heart just skip a beat. 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.

As you enjoy your kayak and search endlessly for the perfect accessories, don’t forget the most important one of all: the kayak storage rack that’s going to keep all of these items safe!

Featured in Cabin Life 2015

Many log cabins are located on lakes and rivers with guests enjoying not only the water view but also using the water for recreation. When it comes to water recreation, kayaks, canoes, and stand up paddle boards (SUPs) are great options. Cabin Life is a magazine that features log cabin living at its finest and features not only beautifully decorated cabins but also recreational activities that are popular with cabin living. Log Kayak Rack is proud to be featured in the June 2015 issue of Cabin Life as being “the most attractive option for boat storage”.

Handcrafted Log Storage Racks

If you are a fan of kayaks, canoes, and SUPs, you know that storage is key to keeping your boats in the best condition possible. Day to day storage is important, and although you likely hate when the warm weather ends, putting a temporary end to the use of your boat, seasonal storage is also incredibly important to maintaining your water craft. Cabin Life put it well by saying that Log Kayak Rack offers storage racks that are “both practical and beautiful”.

Our storage systems are made from northern white cedar logs and are naturally weather resistant. In fact, they will stand the test of time and weather even if left untreated. When choosing a storage unit for your kayaks, canoes, and SUPs, choosing Log Kayak Rack is supporting a family owned company with products made right here in the USA. As Cabin Life says, Log Kayak Rack “offers several styles ranging from single-boat racks to one that accommodates eight crafts”. As far as our designs go, we offer:

  • 2, 4, 6, or 8 place kayak/canoe rack
  • 2 place double sided kayak/canoe rack
  • 2 place mountable kayak/canoe rack
  • Custom kayak/canoe rack

Practical and Beautiful Storage Systems

Purchasing one of our storage systems means you will be buying something that is not only built from beautiful wood, but is also incredibly useful for storing your boats. The practicality comes in the fact that our systems are moveable. During the summer months, you can leave the system in an area with easy access to the water. The Log Kayak Rack storage system is durable enough to stay outside, but once the weather turns cold and you want to keep you boats out of the elements, the storage system can easily be moved indoors. On the flip side, if you do not have a need to move the storage system, it can be permanently affixed where you want it.

Log Kayak Rack is the company to go to for your kayak, canoe, and SUP storage systems, as seen in Cabin Life. Visit our website at www.logkayakrack.com or call us at (715) 543-2006 to place an order.

Unfortunately, for those that threw their kayaks into the garage, or even gently placed their canoe right side up on the corner of a large closet, their boats and water toys may have become compromised.

Kayaks can be big ticket items, so stop storing them on the ground where they risk getting damaged.

Kayaking Facts

Although kayaking has now become a sport, the original use of a kayak was for hunting. The term kayak means “hunter’s boat”. These were great for hunting because they were small and very quiet on the water. The first kayaks were made out of wood or whale bone with animal skin stretched on the outside. These kayaks have transformed over time and are now an official Olympic sport.

Types of Kayak Storage Racks

What is great about Log Kayak Rack is that if you do not like one of our standard rack options, we can create a custom rack for you. These racks are weather resistant, and do wonderful in all types of climates. Our most popular kayak rack systems include:

  • 4 Kayak Slots – The quad rack has two racks stacked side by side. This rack provides ample kayak storage as well as room for paddles, life jackets and plenty of other gear needed.
  • 6 Kayak Slots – For the advanced, our 6 slot system can protect your watersport materials with ease. Commonly, these are used at facilities that offer rental kayaks.
  • 8 Kayak Slots – Our largest storage system can hold up to 8 kayaks at one time. When investing in this many kayaks, it is important to keep them protected and to extend the life of the kayaks. That is how our storage racks can help!

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.

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!
