This screws directly into the studs and is very stable. Easy to install. Zero assembly required. I like this setup better than the kind that raise and lower the boat with a pulley. Highly recommended.We used these to put our canoe overhead in our garage. It's a 16' canoe, about 32" wide in the middle. Per the mfg's website, we installed lengths of 2x4 between the brackets and the studs to allow for the width. Easily the most difficult part of the process was cleaning out the garage a bit to give us space to maneuver. It was a good experience, they're well made, and they seemed a lot easier than any pulley system. I don't know if I'm ever going to need another set of canoe brackets, but I'd buy these again.very sturdy used to hang a full size canoe on an outside shed wall only fault was using the screws provided for installation they stripped before fully seating I replaced them with lag bolts and the brackets were perfectthe nylon straps saved my canoe. rolling the canoe over on the straps is easy and does not mark the boat. perfect designGreat rack. Holds my canoe and keeps it secure. Bought two.Recently bought 3 12' kayaks that needed homes for the winter in my shed. After looking at a number of the options available, measuring and planning, I went with these. They are well built, and do a great job for their intended purpose. Now one whole wall is kayak bliss... :-)Was so nice to free up yard space and get the kayaks off the ground, where they will stay clean.and free of water. I think price could be a little lower on these, but they are built really heavy and should last forever. Easy to mount on the side of our shed.This worked great for my 16.5' Old Town canoe. I didn't need to install 2x4's behind the rack, and the straps hold it securely. I used longer screws than what came with it, just to be safe (and a hex-head bolt is easier to install and take down than a phillips).Although its made for kayaks, I installed this and hang my Folding Portabote on it. Works perfect, the boat fits perfectly in the arms. easy to load, simply slide it on 1 rack and push forward until it sits on both racks. Saves a lot of space in the garage and looks nice. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to put their folding boat or Kayak on the wallThe arm of one of the supports was over-bent. I could not bend it myself so it would be level or have the means to shim it.The cap was also broken off (see tape) so I don't know if this was due to improper handling or not. I also didn't want the insides open to the elements (that's why it's taped).I'm returning this item.Worked as expected, if I had of realized you can purchase mounting bracket to make them removable might have considered for when it gets put away for the winter.Looks like a very decent rack. Easy to install, just screw it to the studs. Yellow color is a really good idea, I would be banging my head against it a lot more if it wasn't yellow.Great space saver and gentle on the boat since it rests on straps.We’ve had a Suspenz kayak/SUP/canoe cart for a few years-good product. This FLAT rack looked good. It is good. Easy install. Good design
