Can anyone comment on if they think these will hold a 22 ft canoe?

My friend is an auto mechanic. I want to move an alum extension ladder weighing about 50 lbs. he said, don't do it. He refers to these racks as "luggage racks." I think wind resistance is a major factor.

I have those and they look ok strong. But I did not put close to 300 lbs on it... maybe 100-150 max so far, and it handled ok. So, good luck.

Definitely. I use it for my 16' canoe and it's held in all strong wind just fine. Obviously just make sure the knots tight.

They are actually a little larger, like 22 or 24. My husband says they are not large enough... He would recommend the next size up. We use it to haul a cooler, beach chairs and toys, so we are carrying a heavy load quite a distance. Hope this helps.

Yes they should be fine, i use them on a Simplicity Lagacy with the front end loader attachment with 300lb. of back wights

I bought mine last fall and have not used them. I will next week for a 60# plastic sea kayak. I have checked it out and feel that's its well made and should be able to handle about anything you can fit on them

Hmmm. They are sturdy -- we have only had weiht of 185 in hem. Seem ok for that and could probably hold more

I suppose you could; however, the main reason they work for me is because they keep my canoe from moving in high wind and fast speeds on highway. To turn them around could defeat that purpose and make the canoe less stable. I'm not sure I understand your situation though. The widest part of the canoe is the center. The brackets will be towards the front and rear where it is narrower. They do slide on the bar to loosen/tighten. I first place them on loosely, then put the canoe, then tighten them securely. Opposite when removing. Hope I helped.

They should work fine because they are built heavy duty. And the cap has a built-in spigot to make dispensing the water easier. Just remember that these things are heavy when full: about 56 pounds (and somehow it feels even heavier). So even though they have a stackable design, I would not store them that way in a boat.

It's possible but it depends on how deep your canoe is. The stands aren't that tall so you'd get it off the ground but very high. Unless you put them on the seats of the canoe.

Just ran down to the beach and measured my stands: 15 inches wide. Not knowing the measurements of your canoe, am guessing it would work if you place your canoe so each stand is under a seat. My kayak's beam is 28 inches and I store it, hull side up, on the stands with no problem.

YES i fully beleive they will aslong as you mount them properly in to a stud if u cant find a stud make one with a 24" peice of 2x4 for each hange mount the 2x4 on to the wall securely and then mount your hanger into the 2x4 but yes it wont have any issue holding a 15' i store my kayak on mine and hang my helmet and quad gear on them at the same time

If your canoe is 16" or shorter it should fit. It is most durable and I think you would like it.

Too weak. I originally bought it for a lighter load and then gave them to my son, who tried to use them to haul his one-person kayak, and they were marginal at best. He ended up buying a Thule rack (which can also be locked). Hope this helps.

i do not know but i would guess that this would be a problem because of the canoe with and rack spacing that you define. thule does have other racks that are fine for canoes.

This question was posed last week. There were differing opinions about whether they are suitable for a paddle board. I believe they are. They may overhang over a bit, but I don't see why they would not work.. I have a summer home in the Berkshires and two kayaks. One is a 12 ft. Kayak and the other is a ten. We have them stored in the garage on these stands and we love them! I hope this helps. Best of luck.

Yes. They will hold any size kayak. The wider the better probably. I used them once to hold a very large canoe. Worked great..
