| Egor, if you are looking for free standing structure examples my storage photos won't provide any help. What I have is based on the peculiarities of available space in my garage. If you wind up with storage where you slide you boat(s) in and out, you might want to look at low friction, low wear plastic for the sliding surfaces in your storage - like Delrin, etc.. I have been able to pick up (not free) scrap pieces of a hard, slick plastic from the plastic scrap bin outside at Hardware Sales in Bellingham that work just fine (rounded the hard edges and attached to wood with countersunk wood screws). Take care to store your boat clean so that the sliding surfaces stay clean and don't wind up scratching your boats. One option for storage that can be added to the side of existing structure is illustrated by the rack holding the red surfski in my pictures. These are 2 storage Vees - sold by Goodboy (used to be Kayaks) Paddlesports that makes one of the popular car roof Vee racks. I added sliding plastic on top of the rack foam. But these are a little pricey. One other feature worth noting in my photos is the foam I placed at the end of some of my storage. Several of our boats just barely fit in our garage even diagonally and have to be shoved all the way to the far wall so I placed thick foam on the wall to protect the boat ends. Hopefully these photos are viewable. | Egor, if you are looking for free standing structure examples my storage photos won't provide any help.

| Me too. Like Lance the Hardware Sales. Go to upstairs main store, left at top of stairs, then left again, then Right along that wall. Many types of bolt on shelf brackets. Then grab some pipe insulation. I prefer the closed cell that is used for refrigeration lines. It's more cushy than the cheaper stuff you put on water pipes. | Me too. Like Lance the Hardware Sales.

| Hardware Sales stopped carrying the bigger brackets we use for our boats about a year ago. I asked them to order them again, but haven’t checked to see if ever got around to it. | Hardware Sales stopped carrying the bigger brackets we use for our boats about a year ago.

| We have been happy with a loop of rope which slings the bow and a similar loop for the stern. Make the anchor for the stern line forward of the rudder so it wants to slide forward when tensioned. On some of the stern ropes we’ve added a pulley so it can be retracted up and out of the way. | We have been happy with a loop of rope which slings the bow and a similar loop for the stern.
