I'm hoping to hang a pair of kayaks on the back of a garage for the summer to free up some space inside. I've seen the wall-mount cradles and those should work fine, but my concern is with the mouth of the kayak being open to water/critters. Even in the product photo you can see the opening, which would fill up with rain water or make a lovely home for squirrels:

These are pretty inexpensive kayaks, so there's no skirt or enclosure to affix to the top. Any creative ideas to safely cover the kayaks?

I purchased these racks about 2.5 years ago and they are great. I can install both of them in the truck bed in under 1 minute, and they hold the bikes really secure. I am asking $120 for both of them but will also consider trading them for mountain bike parts.


Below is a link to the product, and I will try to post pictures of mine later.

Anyone looking for these usually expensive hardgoods would do well to take a look. In the past these things NEVER went on sale until at the very end of the year. ]]> Gear and Equipment Forum thetrailboss http://forums.alpinezone.com/showthread.php/121270-Big-LL-Bean-Sale-20-off-ALL-Boats-Paddleboards-and-LL-Bean-Bikes
