How to choose canoe racks
If you are passionate by water sports such as canoe then you may always want to carry your canoe boat with you, whenever you are going to a place near water. For this you need canoe racks to carry your canoe over the hood you car, and avoid damaging it. These devices may seem irrelevant but imagine yourself going on a trip with your car through mountains, in the search of a lake where you can go canoeing. If you are travelling on a rocky road your canoe may suffer severe damage, when tied over the hood of your car. This is why canoe racks were invented. Whether canoe v-bars racks or normal semicircular ones, they will certainly help you transporting your canoe.
Searching for canoe racks isn’t a very easy job as there aren’t many places you can find them. Still you can search in sports equipment shops and on the internet. Since technology continuously evolves you can find anything you need online, including canoe v-bars. All you need to do after finding a company producing canoe racks is contact the manufacturer and ask them more details about their production. The most important details are those regarding the material made of and the available dimensions. If those details aren’t specified on the website you can ask them when contacting the manufacturer. Another important fact available is that you can order by phone but also by email. This eases up the contact between you and the manufacturer.
You must know that most canoe racks are made of galvanised steel and they feature support straps and u-bolt clamps or v-bars. The only difference between the canoe v-bars and the usual u-bolt ones is the form of the clamps that help tying the rack to the canoe. The support straps are made of very strong webbing all to ensure the canoe is well fixed to the rack. You will also need hazard tape to mark the ends of the boat when transporting it. As the canoe might be a little longer then your car, you may want to signal this to other traffic cars, to ensure you avoid any accidents.
But don’t worry as all described equipment for the canoe racks are included in the delivered package after ordering it. You must be aware though that the rack isn’t an easy one. It weights up to six kilograms and has a length of almost three meters. The canoe v-bars have only a 75 mm diameter but being made of galvanised steel they guarantee immense strength under any weather conditions.
Another thing you should know is that some manufacturers allow you to customise your canoe v-bars and canoe racks dimensions. Your desired sizes must be communicated when ordering. Notice that there are some security standards they need to follow so please ask only for possible dimensions. After you have completed you order you just have to wait for the canoe racks to be created and shipped to your address and that’s all. You are now equipped and ready to go with your canoe on any river or lake!
