Specially designed racking
from Pro-Dek Storage
Systems is reported to have
provided an economical,
versatile solution for storing
a variety of canoes and
rowing boats, some of which
are 60ft long, in a new boathouse
at Trentham Lake,
Staffordshire.

The 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,
Pro-Dek supplied the racking
in kit form for assembly by
club members.

The boats are expensive,
fragile and awkwardly
shaped, so it was essential
that they could be handled
easily in a confined space. To
meet this requirement, Pro-
Dek supplied three doublesided
sections of cantilever
racking with telescopic arms
that extend 600mm.
