Sparehand Freestanding Storage Rack for 2 Kayaks or SUPs

We ordered this rack to help clean up our garage. We have two Eddyline kayaks, each weighs 50 lbs. You can sure spend a lot more for a rack, even more for THIS rack on other sites. But this is pretty darned good for two. The materials seems strong enough. Sure it could've been built more stoutly, but why? Fairly easy to put together, but they really could have done a better job with providing directions. Sturdy? It's good enough. We're not going to be doing chin-ups on it and with only 100 total pounds on it, it's sturdy enough. So we think it's worth the money and certainly good enough for what we needed. It gave us a lot of floor space back in our garage and with our taxes, we got it for a total of $201. Actually it looks pretty nice too. 5 Star? Well. it's better than 4 Stars. Today we're going a little soft and giving it a total of 5 Stars. We're pleased, we think you will be too.

I've two kayaks that are pretty big (Hobie Outback 12 and Wilderness Systems Tsunami 165, to give you idea of sizing) - and the rack fit them perfectly.The stand itself has relatively narrow profile, is sturdy, and was a breeze to put together. Padding for boats looks well made, and the stand itself is very light to move around (empty.)

This was easy to assemble, but not as rugged as I was looking for..... I couldn't find anything else that met my immediate need for something more heavy duty. I have a 10.5 ft, 50 lb sit on top kayak on the top and 65 lb Native fishing kayak leaned up on the bottom. Kayaks are stored inside my garage basement. So far so good, it seems to hold them just fine. The rack is up against a wall but not secured.

I cannot overstate how perfect this is. After much research I decided this would likely be the best one for my needs. It indeed has meet all of my expectations for sturdiness and size and is absolutely perfect! My kayak is 11'6" length, 28" width and weighs 36.5 lbs (Hurricane Santee Sport). My Paddleboard is 11'8" Length, 32.5" width and weighs 25 lbs. I struggled with spending what I spent, but ultimately, you get what you pay for and this is worth every penny in my opinion:)

This took minutes to assemble and securely keeps my kayaks off the floor and out of the way. I'm using this in a basement on a concrete floor. Our house is 115 years old with a stone foundation. The last thing I wanted to do was drill any hangers into those stones or the original floor joists above. Anyone with an old house knows that you don't want to wake up the beast! This is a great sturdy unit sitting directly on the floor. If I ever want to reorganize the space, I can easily move the rack and boats. I have a 13' fishing kayak on the bottom and an 11.5' recreational kayak on top. Everything is out of the way yet still easy to access when needed. I highly recommend.

I assembled this in under 30 minutes. No tools were needed. I used some leather gloves to help me better tighten the included wing nuts.The instructions say that this is intended for indoor use, but that it can also be used outside (that makes me feel like this thing will break down in a couple seasons). It feels very lightweight, but it doesn’t feel very flimsy. It doesn’t have much wobble or give and feels substantial enough to support the listed weights. Per instructions, you can also fit an 80 and 120 lbs kayak- the heavier one goes on the lower rack. My kayaks are 65 and 45 lbs, and 10.5 and 9.5ft long respectively. They easily fit on the rack, and the rack feels stable.Upon receiving this item, I noticed immediately that rust was present on one of the bars, and a punched piece of metal could be heard rattling around inside another one of the bars. I’m not sure how long this stand will last. Just in case, I completely sprayed it down with clear coat rustoleum protectant and I hope that will help. I like that this stand has pegs on the underside that can be swapped out for wheels- that you can purchase separately. I like that this stand is only about 40” high and 4’ wide. I can move this around by myself (without my kayaks on it).I wish that it had a couple pegs for me to hang gear or paddles, but for about $170ish dollars, I can’t complain too hard.The rust that’s already present doesn’t inspire confidence and i probably should’ve returned it, but I’m hoping that the rustoleum is adequate to protect the stand.I’ve had this stand out in dry cold weather now for a few days. It’ll start raining soon, so we’ll see how this holds up.

Put together in a snap. Literally 6 thumbscrews and they give you a little tool to tighten them with. Directions are sparse but there is not much need for anything else. Put it together in about 10 minutes. I have it up against a wall with a 10 foot fishing kayak on top with all the gear in it. Probably 75 lbs and nothing on the bottom holder yet. It seems sturdy to me. I could easily anchor it to the garage floor if I wanted to or if there wasn't a wall on the short side. But at this point I don't see a need as I will soon have Sea Ghost 110 on the bottom as my main yak. All in all a very good rack that solves my storage issues.

Vraiment facile à monter et bonne qualité :) !

Great product and very easy to installDelivery was quick!

Overpriced but good quality, happy with the function, design and assembly. Could not find anything else like it anywhere

Looked high and low for a mobile kayak stand. This is it! 3 months in and still very happy.
