: Hi,

: As I hope to finish my first build by next spring I will be the
: proud owner of 3 beautiful kayaks. However, i'll also be a less
: than proud divorsee if i don't stop storing/hanging them in the
: house. I'm looking to build a 20' long 'dog house' in essence to
: store the kayaks outdoors. While the kayaks will be enclosed on
: all sides, the space would not be heated. Does anyone have
: experience or an opinion on storing wood yaks outdoors in New
: Jersey. Worst case scenario i store them in this elongated
: 'kayak house' during paddling months and move them to the
: basement in the winter.

: Thanks,
: Damian

Cold doesn't matter at all, out of the sun does.

I've stored mine for years in unheated garages in northern Illinois, gets a heck of alot colder here than there, doesn't hurt them at all.
