RE: [Paddlewise] Storing plastic boats

Su,

You might want to use straps instead of beams. On theory has the ideal
positioning to support for straps (or beams) directly around (under) the
bulkheads (if your boat has them).

Subject: [Paddlewise] Storing plastic boats


My partner David and I are getting ready to build an outdoor storage rack
for our boats, a Pungo and a Loon. I understand that plastic boats ought to
be stored on their sides to avoid distortion. We're thinking of building a
rack that would basically be two padded cross beams the boats would rest
on, with a small roof above the boats to keep off wind and weather and
leaves and sap from the trees.

Any thoughts? Are we on the right track? How do you all store your plastic
boats?

Su
