Versatile storage
March 1st 2010 Specially designed racking from
Pro-Dek Storage Systems has
provided an economical, versatile
solution for storing a wide variety of
canoes and rowing boats, some of
which are 60ft long, in a new boathouse
at Trentham Lake,
Staffordshire.
The new boat-house was built to
provide a new base for the Trentham
Boat and Canoe Clubs, and Pro-Dek
worked closely with the clubs to
maximise the number of boats of
various types that could be stored,
while allowing them to be handled
safely and without damage. In order
to reduce the cost to the clubs, Pro-
Dek supplied all the racking in kit
form for assembly by club members.
For the rowing club the racking
had to make provision for single and
double sculls, fours and eights,
which are 60ft long, as well as
ancillary equipment such as oars.
The boats are expensive, fragile and
awkwardly shaped, so it was essential
that they could be handled easily in
a confined space. More articles from Pro-Dek Storage Systems: |
