Frequently Asked Questions

Why shouldnt i store my canoe or kayak at home?

Canoes and Kayaks are very susceptible to warping and damage caused by cold temperatures, snow and ice. The large swings in temperature which are characteristic of Ottawa are especially damaging to boats and kayaks. Snow and ice is also very damaging to canoes and kayaks, and you should avoid your boat coming into contact with either. The best way to store your canoe or kayak is with heated or climate controlled boat storage. Acceptable Storage features a wide range of climate-controlled boat storage solutions

You should never shrink wrap a canoe when storing it. Shrink wrapping traps moisture which will lead to mold growth and cause the wood components of the canoe to rot. It is better to store a canoe without wrapping in a climate controlled storage facility like what is offered by Acceptable Storage.

On top of offering a variety of boat storage options, Acceptable Storage also provides a free wash station equipped with soap, pails, brushes, and vacuums which is available to all clients.

When storing a kayak for the winter, you should not stand it up. It seems like a great way to limit the amount of space it takes up, but leaving a kayak to sit on its nose for months on end will cause the end on the ground to compact and warp from the weight of the rest of the canoe being supported by the small point that is resting on the ground. Kayaks should be stored upside down on a rack.

The best way to store a kayak is upside down or padded straps or bars. Kayaks are not designed to sit directly on their hull or on their side for extended periods of time, this could dent or warp the plastic.

Kayaks vary in length, ranging anywhere from 5ft long recreational kayaks to 14ft long sea kayaks. Make sure to get an accurate measurement for the length of your kayak to determine the proper sizing of the storage unit that you’ll need. If you plan on storing your kayak horizontally or vertically will also change the dimensions of the space that you require.
