COR Board Racks Stand up Paddleboard | SUP | Surfboard Wall or Ceiling Rack | Simple Effective Design Has anyone received these racks and noticed the lower bar on the bottom (where the board should rest) is not square with the mounting bar on top? My photo shows quite the difference from their description photo. I thought this one was bent inward, but they are both exactly the same bend.

I have a pretty wide and thick SUP that I wanted to hang but the tilt is making it impossible.

Pictures (as of Mar 20 2017) are very misleading - they look like the two straight sections of the "U" are parallel - they are not. The longer straight section that supports the board is angled - this makes it feel like the surfboard is much more secure in the rack (when mounting to the ceiling).

It's well made and easy to install - saved me a bunch of space in my garage

Rack works well. The padding is good but one arrived with the padding split about two inches. The problem does not look like it will affect the padding effectiveness. The screws are not the best quality. One broke off half way in and I had to extract it. I substituted two other screws of hardened steel that worked very well. Yes, I counter drilled the holes and the screw still broke.

The rack holds my SUP very well and the 180 degree angle is great to keep the board from sliding off.

We had wanted to purchase paddle boards for some time after renting them on several occasions but my main concern was where I could safely store them when we weren't on the lake or river. I considered several options and finally decided to give the COR product a try. I made my decision based on the product's construction and what appeared to be ease on installation.
I ordered the racks and they arrived within two days! Installation was as easy as I had hoped! All you need to hang these racks are the location of a couple of ceiling joist, a drill to create a small pilot hole and a screw driver. The whole installation was done in about 10 minutes and I was ready to give them a try.
I now have two 10.5 foot boards and paddles hung safely and out of the way (on one set of racks) and when we are ready to paddle again we simply grab and go!
Of course the real test will be to see how these racks stand up over time, but the construction is solid and the 4" screws securing them to the joist give me a feeling of confidence that they will last for years!

Okay, let me start by saying that I wish I could give this product a 3.5 star rating. The first set arrived damaged with small rips on the foam of one of the racks and no hardware. I purchased another set, and shipped the first order back. I received a refund promptly.

I believe, it is a good product that will do as advertised. So, by now you may be asking yourself: Why would he rate it a 3.5 star? Well, in the description, it states that it comes with the necessary hardware. Given, it doesn't state what type of hardware, but I believe that a product expected to hold a SUP would come with more than four 2.25 wood/sheetrock screws.

That means that if you hang it in your garage, where, the sheetrock, by building code (at least in my state) is supposed to be 1/2 inch, and taking into account the almost 1 inch thickness of the rack(s), the supplied screws would go into the studs about 3/4 of an inch at best. And, yes, I would not hang this and expect just the sheetrock to hold it. As another post already suggests, I would use at least 3 inch screws and back them with washers. Otherwise, over time, the screw heads will enlarge the pre-drilled holes in the rack.

Yes, I do tend to go overkill on stuff like this. Guess what?-though...No picture, lamp, clock, TV rack, or else; has ever fallen from my walls.
