Another in my line of El-Cheapo fixes
for semi-functional kayaking gear.
A trip to Home Depot for $3 worth of supplies (short length of 1/2” PVC pipe and
some #10 nuts/bolts) was all it took to solidify my collapsing kayak cart. Many kayakers have one of these at some point
I expect – a foldable kayak cart. They work
GREAT on flat surfaces, but if you have to go over a curb or some larger
obstacles they are prone to collapsing – THUD, WHAM, you’re stopped dead in
your tracks. Rather than shelling out
another $150 for a non-foldable cart (of which there are many), just adding a
bar to stop this is easy. The top-tube of many foldable kayak carts already have
pre-drilled holes (not sure why) so the only drilling I had to do was in the
soft PVC pipe.
Easy Peasy.

THANK YOU!!!!! I stopped using my cart because of the constant collapsing. I was imagining a much more complex 'fix' until I saw this. Again, Thank You!! : )
Thank you. I just got my cart and was trying to figure out a solution.
Thank you! I thought I was defective. Turns out I’m not. Thank you for showing this easy fix!
