Stored my old canoes outside like that for years. Cool find. Have a pair of Canadas nesting on the beaver pond just south of the house. One has a band on it's leg.

^ you mean if put up in the air like this it would blow away??
J.Morse >> I could store in the shed but it would be more work getting in and out and up and down, then it would be worth. Thanks >> that's pretty cool having a tagged one around!

This. Here wether on a rack or brackets on a side building always anchor the canoe down. A good storm with wind destroys them pretty easy. Osky

I got it tied down to the X members on the end and tied across the top to the posts. I would think that should sufficient.

I love my canoe but I just lay it down on some criss cross logs so its off the ground. It gets covered in snow in the winter but haven't noticed any ill effect from that. The sun has aged it more than anything.

I got tin that I could cover the top and was thinking about doing that. I store all the fishing gear under the canoe as well.

I like that rack... I keep mine in the shop on a couple sawhorses. It's a 1980's Coleman and is still going strong but I just don't feel great about letting it bake under the sun all spring and summer when I'm not using it.

Not crazy about the sun beating down on it either. I might get a light tarp and strap that over it.

You got a nice rack snowy . That's some beautiful country, great pics.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

When I look at that picture what I plan on doing is moving that canoe down, to the lower cross members. Then add 2 side members to lay all the other stuff I need to straighten up. I have a lot of T posts I need to get off of the ground. That way with it on the bottom, it will get plenty of shade. Thanks all.
