For kayaks, it's best to keep them stored away from the outdoor elements. Sunlight, moisture, and extremely cold or hot temperatures can damage the material of the kayak by cracking, warping, and fading. Renting a climate-controlled unit will prevent any of these damages from happening to your kayak over time.
