Here are some other storage tips to make sure your Delta kayak is ready to go:ġ. So if you haven’t asked your friend if they have room for a kayak in their basement, now’s the time. With the proper precautions, it is possible to store your Delta kayak outdoors, but only as a last resort. And even though your Delta kayak has a UV-resistant Solarkote outer skin, it’s best to keep it out of direct sunlight and covered with a tarp or, better still, a breathable storage bag such as those made by Danuu. (Under the eves can be a good option, but only if there’s sufficient overhang.) A covered storage area is always best, as the weight of snow, ice or even wet leaves can damage your kayak. If you absolutely must store your kayak outside, avoid areas where ice and snow accumulate, or where falling debris could hit your kayak. You can also get simple strap systems to hang your boat from a wall or ceiling-a great option for those with lightweight Delta kayaks and limited space. Companies like Talic and Suspenz make great-looking kayak racks that baby your boat.
It’s best to store your kayak on a padded rack with the supports under the strongest part of the hull-the bulkheads in front and behind the cockpit. We advise everyone to store their kayak indoors, whether that be in a garage or shed, a friend’s basement, or even mounted in your living room as wall art (also a great conversation starter).
