Mounting kayak rack to concrete wall
Posted on 7/11/16 at 12:53 pm

I have a kayak cart I made that holds both my pescador and ascend but I'm thinking of mounting them on the wall. Decently high up so I can build a work bench underneath them and they are out of the way.
I figured I could just tapcon a 2x4 into the wall and then build off of it. Does anyone have experience with doing something like that? I guess I'm more worried about weight than anything.

Would something like this work?
I have these for our bicycles and they work great for that:

Probably if I just had 1 kayak. I want to put them basically on top of each other. I will see if I have a pic of the area I'm trying to mount them.

I use a bicycle lift to hold our paddle boards in the boat house on our dock. Works well. Got mine from Harbor Freight for like $8.

Triangulate it so the weight goes back into the wall at the bottom and mount some bungee cords on the supports

Drill through bottom of kayak, and mount with concrete anchors.

Tapcons would work but I would opt for some expansion anchors just so there aren't any issues of the anchors backing out.

kayaks arnt exactly THAT heavy. just drill into the stud and it will hold.

It's a concrete basement wall.
Not the best pic, but you can see back behind the miter saw there is a 12 foot concrete wall. I'd like to mount them high enough to put a work bench underneath for more working space.

I like to install Tapcon screws with some wood glue squirted into the hole. They stay forever and you can still remove the screw is needed.

I installed this a few weekends ago. Hasn't fallen on my truck yet.

You could just glue the boards to the walls with liquid nails
