Our System
I have a large 2 car garage w/shelving on one side.
My kayak is on the ground next to the shelving. My husband attached (screwed in) 3 short pieces of 2x4 to the middle shelf that extends out above my kayak which his kayak sits on. The 3 pieces of 2x4 are placed evenly apart, one in the middle, and the other ones towards either end of the kayak.
It’s used for year round storage and daily use, easy access, and cheap as hell to make.
