Canoe rack for home storage

mobettatnu

Just moved to a new place without a garage that I kept my canoe in. New place only has a carport. Thinking of installing some kind of rack to the carport poles to set my canoe in, any ideas??????

Get yourself some shelf brackets and either screw them to the poles or hoseclamp them if you aren't allowed to screw/drill into them.

Then get some kayak/canoe foam pads to put on the bracket to cushion the hull from the bracket. Use a tie-down strap or flat bungy cord to tie the canoe down from the wind blowing or falling off.

They're called Nohokai Racks and besides Island Paddler they are also sold at Go Bananas and Outrigger Connection. They aren't cheap though, but worth it as I've got 3 sets of them.

Thanks for all the good info. E7M, jc9 0, those look like what I'm looking for. And Jim, that's the kind of rack I'm dreaming of.
