Paddle racks

[dutchlennart]

Hello,
Until now we hung our nice paddles like this:


The nice paddles are getting more and the space less.
So i am thinking of ways to do a bit more paddles in front of each other.
What are your solutions? Or what did you see in shops or shows or .

Thanks for the inspiration.

It seems there's a picture that didn't upload but you wouldn't want to do it my way for sure.

I have paddles leaning against walls, laying on the decks of my bass boat, scattered throughout the garden shed & boat shop and even 3 that ride around in the car even if there's no canoe on the roof.

Some would consider it a "problem" but I don't. (Oh, wait... I see you said "nice paddles"... mine don't stay "nice" for all that long)

I made a simple rack for mine, it's basically a box about 6' high, 2' wide, and around 10' deep, the top board is on it's side and has 1/4" dowels spaced about 1/2" apart (like a garden rake) you just slide the paddles in edge-on using the flare of the grip to hold it in place. the depth of the box helps protect them from the damage caused by stuff invariably being leaned up against them. I also took cheap coat hooks and mounted a half dozen down each side for bailers, throw-bags, whistles, ropes, etc. It's like one stop shopping- grab your preferred paddles, grab your throw-bag and bailer (with whistle attached and sponge shoved in it), and go...

Perhaps not elegant but simple and quick:.

Our local hardware store has similar. This one is from Amazon

I have a few of the Suspenz Paddle Rack similar to what Alan shared. They have rubber wrapping that holds the paddles in place and I found them to be worth the small extra expense.
