Pvc pipe kayak rack for truck.

You can easily build a bike rack yourself to safely transport up to 4 bikes in the back of a pickup truck with pvc pipe and a little time saving you a lot of money. It s sufficiently sturdy for two or three kayaks light and inexpensive. Run a cam buckle strap over. A few dollars some pvc pipes and some basic tools are all you need to make this.

Slowly shorten the pipes connecting the two sides of the kayak rack by 1 4 to 1 2 inch at a time until the two sides sit neatly in the middle of the roof rack s cross bars. Join the ends of the kayak rack together. No need to free up extra space for it anymore. For me this was 27 5 8 inches.

Dry fit both ends of the kayak rack together using the cut pipes inserted into segment 3a. Buying a bike rack for a truck can be expensive and the majority of them are heavy to move and only work in the truck bed. I built the rack for roughly 130 in material cost. If you are using the rack you ve build by yourself you may need to put the kayak over the pipes.

Diy pvc kayak rack. Position the kayak in your truck bed. It seems very stable but if you are concerned about stability just use the bottom two racks for kayaks and the top racks for paddles.
