Freestanding Kayak Rack Brackets Home & Garden

Summary

These brackets are cut from 12 gauge steel. The brackets are designed for 5/16 x 2 carriage bolts. Everything is designed to work with 2x4 structural components and 1x6 shear bracing. The kayak, SUP or surfboards are held at a 10 degree angle (cut ends of shelves at 10 deg) to keep them secure. For my kayaks, the shelves are 31 inches, but your application may vary. I provided bend reliefs at all bends for alignment and to be able to use a 6 inch vise bender.

    I don't see any relief cuts for bends. It seems these are just side face plates.

    I wonder if that is a result of the dxf translation. The bend reliefs are there in the underlying sketch I will take a look at it
