Choosing Ceiling Surfboard Racks
Need extra space? If you live in a apartment or somewhere with limited space, a ceiling surfboard rack is an awesome idea. Here are a few to get you pointed in the right direction.
T-Rax Ceiling Surfboard Racks are made of aluminum with a black satin brushed finish. All hardware for mounting your racks is included. No worries about scratching your boards, the racks are covered with quality foam padding. They come in one board racks for $100 through to three boards for $120. Here is what they look like.
Another novel idea is the Surfboard Wall or ceiling sling. It’s a practical method of storing or displaying your board. Where other wall racks will jut out, if you are pressed for space, the sling will fits nice and snug against a wall and anyone can install it. It consists of two straps and two good sized screws to affix it to the ceiling. Priced at around $10, if you tight on space and tight on cash – this could be what you are looking for. Here is what a sling looks like, this particular one can be purchased on Amazon.
The ceiling rack for surfboards, by Gatekeeper, is a nice neat modular design and will hold two surfboards or more. The ceiling rack will store your boards in a horizontal position, and you can access your boards from each side, rather than having to slide them out. The unit simply bolts together and you can add more racks as required, depending on space. If you have a high ceiling such as an exposed beam ceiling as in a shed, you could possibly had up to 4 racks, or a total of 120lbs. There’s plenty of space in between each rack. A neat part of the design is the turned up ends of the rack, so you can be sure your board is not going to slip off. This is one is one of my favorites.

Storing your surfboards out of the way need not be a complex issue, there’s heaps of different ways to store or display your boards that are tidy and look great. Happy Surfing.
