The steel brackets are 20 inches, so I put 1x4 on them to the lengths needed (varies). Then I mounted the brackets, 2 per boat, on 2x4 uprights that rest on the floor and are secured to the wall. The whole thing (4 canoes, 1 sea kayak) takes up the width of the widest canoe. (The 2x4s don't actually move the canoes out fro the wall because of course they are widest at the middle whereas the 2x4s are toward the ends. The space behind the ends of the boats is used to stand paddles, tools, stepladder, etc. etc. GaryJ *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
