This is my third year using my cart. As I live in NJ, it has been repeatedly submerged in salt water and except for the Harbor Freight wheels beginning to rust, I have no complaints about the quality of this kit at all. My kayak is a wood Chesapeake 17, so not as light as a glassfibre or rotomolded kayak, yet it easily handles rolling my big and heavy kayak half a mile to the water. This cheap and cheerful cart has held up better than commercial carts costing 2 or 3 times more. Is there anything more anybody can ask for?

I am about to build a new one. This cart is a little wide for my kayak, so make sure you measure properly before following the directions blindly. The old one will be going under my Duck Punt, a small sailing boat from the UK. Yes, this cart is that sturdy, able to handle a small sailing punt that weighs a little over 100 pounds.

I purchased the kayak kit as an introduction to what makerpipe offers. It exceeds my expectations! As an electrician I spend plenty of time working with EMT, bending and installing it and I have always wanted a way to use it to build non-electrical projects. Welding isn't a great option with the galvanized surface and the other options I've seen don't look as sturdy or polished. Thanks makerpipe for being my enabler!

Anyone who is a doit yurselfer, garage engineer is someone I can respect! Being one myself, I can certainly relate to everyday things that require A budget and critical thinking. This design looks to me that it would support any type of kayak design and weight. I have modified my 10 ft kayak with 2 types of iights using pvc and $1 /100 lumin pocket flashlights, rod holders, speaker mounts, out riggers, my own personal design, etc etc. I have been a garage engineer since I was able to work with tools.... so approximately 50 years!
Thanks for your attractive design!
