Spent the better part of the day workin on a kayak cradle. I'm posting these pics because I know there is a pretty good size group of kayakers and hopefully someone might be able to use the ideas, and or advise me in something they see I could change. The rack was made out of 1"x1" steel and a chain link is welded to the upright post. I used a turn buckle on each corner to keep the rack in place. The reason for cradle is to spread the weight out better with the strap, because the kayak was starting to get some dents from where it sat upside down before. I also mounted 2 tie down points under the hood that I also made with the scrap metal. Good thing is I have about $90 bucks total in the rack and cradle. If you see something that would make it better, that I over looked or missed please advise.
