2 Kayak Ceiling Rack | Hi-Port 2 Storage Hanger Overhead Mount | Adjustable (Extra Large (30″ Arms))
Designed and made by StoreYourBoard, the leaders in board sports storage, the Hi-Port 2 XL Overhead Ceiling Storage System is the perfect rack to store even your largest kayaks in one of the most underutilized storage spaces: the ceiling!
Durable, Steel Construction. This Kayak Ceiling Rack is an incredibly sturdy way to store your boards in overhead space, organizing and saving room. It’s made from heavy duty steel and supports up to 150 lbs (75 lbs per side), more than sturdy enough to mount Kayaks, Paddleboards, or Surfboards to your ceiling at home, in your garage, under your deck, in your shop.
Protection from Harm. The Kayak Ceiling Rack’s arms come covered in top quality high-density, foam padding. Want to remove the rack’s arms? No problem, they remove with a simple push-button.
Easy Installation One huge innovation in this rack is that it can be installed along ceiling joists that run in either direction – center column rotates to fit your setup. This rack is also super easy to install, coming with the necessary mounting hardware – heavy duty lag bolts – so you can set it up quickly and easily!
Fit: What Kayaks Will it Hold?
-Weight: holds a combination of kayaks up to 150 lbs (75 lbs per side) total
-Width: 30″ wide arms can hold virtually any type of Kayak, even bigger fishing Kayaks!
-Length: the 2 rack sides are independent so can be mounted at whatever distance apart you need, to fit the length of Kayaks you have.
How Does It Work?The center post can drop down to maximize storage (18″ board/boat space from ceiling), or retract (10″ board/boat space from ceiling) to allow for greater clearance beneath the rack.
NEW FOR 2018: after customer feedback, we upgraded the mounting hardware to heavy duty screws that install easier.

The principle is good but outdated
The system overall seems good. The screws still need improvement The system overall seems good. The screws still need improvement, no way I’m using their hardware. Here’s why and what you should do instead⢠See pics – that wide area at the end is a “self tapping” thread end. Self-tapping ends are typically employed on screws going into sheet metal or masonry, where a wood screw self-taps with a more “pointy” end. We’re concerned because the self-tapping end is very wide and will bore out nearly all the wood that this screw…
I like it The mount seems to be legit. I’ve got one kayak stored so far, and will add a second soon. The hardest part for me was getting the brackets mounted on my popcorn ceiling. I kept drilling into something that wasn’t the ceiling joist. Stud finder might have been off. Maybe a metal plate. I mounted mine right above my garage door so the kayak is way out of the way. The upgraded lag screws worked great and are very heavy duty compared to the old reviews where they were breaking on people. I…
