There are a few things to keep in mind before purchasing your paddle board dock rack.
All board racks have a weight capacity. And SUP dock racks are no exception.
Many racks used for dock storage are freestanding and hold more than one board. If you will be storing numerous boards on the rack, you will need to add up the total weight of all your SUPs and ensure that weight is under your rack's maximum weight capacity.
Over time, you may want to upgrade your board, so we recommended getting a rack that has extra weight leeway in case your upgrade is heavier.
Durability is an important factor to consider when making your decision, you don’t want to be investing in a dock rack, and having to replace it again in a year or two.
As your rack will be placed outdoors, you will need one made of materials that can withstand all elements.
Stainless steel is the most popular material used for dock racks because it is highly resistant to corrosion and rust.
Not everyone is a pro at DIY and putting together a SUP rack doesn’t need to be a difficult task. All of our racks mentioned above either come with simple instructions or follow along YouTube videos to help you get your rack up and running.
Storing your paddle board outdoors may be the only option if your indoor space is limited. Leaving your board outdoors is totally acceptable, but you’ll need to take some precautions.
Paddle boards can’t be stored in direct heat or sunlight for long periods of time. Not only will the direct sunlight discolor your board, but it can also lead to your board delaminating and cracking.
In the winter months, freezing temperatures can damage the PVC on inflatable SUPs, making it brittle and less durable. We recommend deflating your board when it isn’t in use and storing it in its dedicated storage bag.
For both indoor and outdoor hard board storage, it is best to keep your rack under shelter and away from other objects that could potentially fall or bump into your board.
We recommend deflating your board before placing it in storage. Not only will it save you valuable space in your house, garage, or apartment, but it will also protect your board from damage.
The space on a dock is extremely limited, and you don’t want to be clogging it up with paddle boards.
You can find both freestanding and over the water racks at different price points and the one that suits you will depend on how many boards you have and how much space you want to free up on the dock.
Over the water racks leave you with as much space as possible because, as the name suggests, your boards will be stored directly over the water.
Freestanding racks, however, are cheaper and, once mounted to your dock, can hold numerous boards securely.
