You may be able to open a window or garage door to pass the kayak through if you are unable to bring it up the stairs.<\/p>\n<p>A hoist system is another idea if you live on the upper floors. Most people will have at least one garage so storing your Kayak in there may be the best solution.<\/p>\n<p>Or you can go the budget way and get an inflatable Kayak. These will deflate down to a small package. There are some more details at the end of the article about inflatable Kayaks.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure that if you do have to store a Kayak in an apartment you fully wash it down with fresh water. Make sure it is fully dry before you bring the Kayak into the apartment. Old smelly stale water at the base of the Kayak will stink out the apartment block of flats if you don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<h3>How to store a kayak vertically<\/h3>\n<p>If you are limited for space you can store your Kayak vertically. Place a soft pillow on the floor so the nose of the Kayak won&#8217;t be damaged by the weight.<\/p>\n<p>Use straps bolted onto the wall to prevent the Kayaks from falling over if they get knocked. Safety is very important as the Kayak weight can be over 35 pounds\u00a0(16kg) for a single kayak or 65 pounds\u00a0(27 kg) for a tandem kayak.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"title\" class=\"a-size-large a-spacing-none\"><span id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-large\"><span class=\"spGb-e spGb-h\">Kayak storage racks for garage ceiling<\/span><a class=\"spGb-f\">\u00a0<\/a>RAD Kayak<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1654\" src=\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/rad-hoist-kayak-300x271.jpg\" alt=\"rad kayak hoist system ladder storage\" width=\"300\" height=\"271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/rad-hoist-kayak-300x271.jpg 300w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/rad-hoist-kayak-466x420.jpg 466w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/rad-hoist-kayak.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now if you want to buy a ready-made lift system check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2n2xRte\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">RAD Easy Sports hoist system<\/a>.
