Public Lands stocks paddle and cargo racks for your vehicles so that you can easily transport your outdoor gear. Wall racks are available for your paddling equipment, too.
Selecting Your Paddle Rack
If you have a paddleboard, a paddle rack is a simple solution for storage and transport. When you choose a rack for your paddleboard, make sure you know the weight and measurements of your board. To keep your board in good condition, try to select a padded rack to prevent scratches on your paddleboard.
If you've selected a wall rack, take a look at the directions for mounting. Some racks require more mounting tools and steps than others, so choose a rack that you're comfortable assembling. Make sure you have all the necessary tools before you begin.
Understanding Weight Considerations for Vehicle Cargo Racks
Before you shop for a vehicle cargo rack, you'll need to know the weight capacity of your car's roof. You can find this information online and in your owner's manual.
Next, you should estimate the total weight of the items you wish to carry. Make sure that the combined weight won't be too heavy for your roof.
Understanding Your Car's Rooftop
To choose the best vehicle cargo rack for your needs, you'll need to know the measurements of your car's rooftop. You should also check to see if your car has side rails. These rails run along the sides of the car's roof, and they're an important mounting point for crossbars.
Making Your Selection
The weight capacity and dimensions of vehicle cargo racks are provided at Public Lands. With this information, you can narrow down your options. If you don't want a rack, you might be able to use a cargo box.
Now that you've got a new paddle or cargo rack, keep shopping for more paddling equipment! You could look at paddle accessories, and you might want to check out dry bags and cases, too!
