How to build a pvc kayak cart by in chun aka lineside_addict. the wheel should be sandwiched between two nylon spacers with the steel spacers inside the wheel hub. these steel spacers will fill the gap between the 1/2" aluminum tube and 5/8" wheel hub, as well as act as bearings.. How to build your own kayak cart, kayak rack, hully roller and a bunch of other kayak crap just use pvc and some straps! 2 pneumatic wheels ($10 for 2 on sale at harbor freight tools) and when i put the thing together on the kayak the wheels cambered a bit and i didn’t want to chance damaging the bearings on the kayak. they.
They have a poly wheel and hold 300lbs each. i just bought 4 more today to play around with another cart design (future vid upload to kayak diy channel maybe). but to find wheels free if you can, power wheels cars, old push mowers, movers dollies, anything with wheels, then build the cart around them.. You could also make a "u" shaped pvc just large enough to cradle the wheels while you set the canoe on top....then pull it out to the side after the canoe/kayak is strapped down. (this might be helpful if you are strapping down while on a slope.). My kayak wheels, done with pvc pipe, paint to match my kayak and wheels from harbor freight ($5.00 ea) and a few o-rings (the small black lines on the uprights) to keep the plastic from rubbing holes into the scupper holes the uprights go through..
