He's awesome. I was so impressed when this was finished. We bought a couple of pressure treated 6x6s, some 2x4s, huge bolts, and fence post holders from Home Depot. He cut the pieces with his reciprocating saw, which didn't make the most accurate cuts, but it works (and we have a circular saw now). At first, he wanted to use metal L brackets to hold the "shelves" up, but the guy at Home Depot thought they would rust (although their picnic tables use metal brackets, but the wood braces work).
In his planning, he kind of wanted the shelves to be on the front and back, so we could fit three kayaks. I think that he and Justin actually started building it that way, then changed and did this. If Seth gets a fishing kayak, we'll figure something out then. (the red one is his kayak, the yellow one is mine). I just hope we have more time this summer to use them!
Right now the rack is buried (not cemented) in the back of the yard, but Seth wants to move them to the side, where water doesn't run down and collect. Once it's in its final position, we'll probably cement the posts in.
