Do You Need Some Tips and Ideas for Winter Kayak Storage?

It's that kayak storage time of year once more for many of us. Time to store that kayak away for the cold, chilly winter season. Lifetime representatives are often asked about how to keep a kayak safe while it's not being used, especially during winter. Here are some tips from Candace at Lifetime. We’ll summarize some winter kayak storage guidance below!

One essential piece of advice: kayaks are not for sledding! While they can move fast, they don’t fare well in the cold, so keep them off the snow. As always, clean your kayak after each use. Ideally, store your kayak in a garage, shed, or under a covered area. If you live in a snowy or icy region, avoid leaving your kayak outside, as exposure to sun or frost can damage it.

Lifetime Kayaks are incredibly durable, but it’s always best to protect them from harsh elements. One of the most important kayak storage tips is to reduce tension on the bottom of the kayak hull during storage. If you’re storing your kayak upside down in your garage or shed, consider wall shelves, hoists, or racks to save space. Many racks are available in the market, and you can also create your own. Make sure any support keeps tension off areas like the cockpit or sides of the kayak.

If you can’t wait until spring, check out some of these kayak storage racks or visit a sporting goods store for more options. If you need a shed for your kayaks, check out our Lifetime Shed options at Competitive Edge Products, Inc or at Large Outdoor Storage Sheds.com.
