Indoor Storage Kayak Rack Fairly priced from Amazon and wellmade this SpareHand rack will hold up to 4 kayaks although it comes with hardware brackets for only two. If you have 3 or 4 kayaks you can get extra brackets from Amazon. The SpareHand Malibu Plus Dual Rack does the job nicely if you have room in your garage or on a covered porch. Note The literature says it is not for outdoor use and that must be true. Our garage flooded during Hurricane Irene and it has rusted badly. You should follow their restriction not buy this for outdoor use unless perhaps you live in Yuma or El Paso. Note that this model differs from several other SpareHand kayak racks in that the base has legs extending on 4 sides where other racks extend only on 2 sides. I could find no other differences by inspecting advertisements on line. The printed assembly instructions are outrageously bad and completely unsatisfactory but you can puzzle out assembling it without much trouble by looking at the advertisement pictures you will find on line at various sporting goods stores. Assembly takes about half an hour. I am fully satisfied with my rack. It is sturdy meets my needs and takes up minimal room.
Rack works well This storage rack works well. Both our kayaks are off the ground and there was enough room to store other items beneath them. The rack's footprint was larger than we expected but by putting the kayaks toward the wall we made it fit. Unlike other reviewers good directions and most parts arrived with it one screw missing.
Love it! Kayaks off the floor! Holds our 13' and 11.6' kayaks no problem. easy to assemble.
Another incomplete shipment The fact that this was shipped without instructions was no big deal. However it was also shipped without any of the screws needed for assembly. A call to Amazon was not helpful as they did not have the vendor phone number [It is 626 3388998 and you will probably need it]. You can also head to your local hardware store for some bolts which doesn't seem right for something that costs over $200. Bolts are Metric #6 sorry I don't have all the lengths required. I found the quality on the parts that were shipped to be just fair. Hope this save you an afternoon on the water rather than at the Home Depot.
Excellent Sotrage Solution I needed a decent storage solution for my Pungo 120. The wall space in my garage is already taken up by shelving & because I have young children I didn't want to suspend anything that heavy in the garage overhead in case it fell. This rack was the perfect solution. The directions weren't that great but it was very simple to assemble anyway about 20 min.. Since I only have one kayak I use the top brackets to hang my paddle PFD & other gear though I believe it would hold a second kayak with no problem. The feet are adjustable so it can be leveled on an uneven surface.
Great Product We are extremely happy that we bought this storage rack. It has helped to free up a good amount of space in our garage. Our two kayaks are 18' and 16.5' long and they fit just fine on the rack. It is sturdy and balanced. We also like that the support arms are cushioned and adjustable to whatever height desired. We only have two kayaks at this time but we bought the expandable model Malibu Plus as we will likely acquire other kayaks in the future. Besides the expandable model has a wider base and we figured that we could do with the additional stability.
Pretty good product This product arrived without assembly instructions but didn't take long to assemble after reviewing an online picturemaybe an hour or so. It holds our 65 and 75 pound kayaks with no problem. I've seen other racks that cost double and hold less so we're overall happy with our purchase and happy the kayaks are now off the garage floor.
GREAT PRODUCT! This kayak rack has been great. The instructions were easy to understand and my husband and I were able to assemble it in about half an hour. It's also constructed really well.
Not everything showed up Recieved my rack on Saturday 9/12/09 and tried to put it together. Things wer going great until I got to the cradles. Two of them had the clamps for the uprights built in. The other two it looks like the clamps are a seperate attachment an attachment that was not included in the shipment. Being that it was a weekend I was unable to contact anybody about this problem although they did get back to me on the next workday. After quite some time I was able to get my point across that the clamps were missing and was told that they would be shipped as soon as possible. Looks like another ten days before I can either upgrade or lower my rating of this item. Hopefully it will be going up as over all I like what I see.
