This video will give you step by step instructions on how to build a kayak cart yourself for less than $30. For cheaper wheels, you can pick up the plastic ones at Harbor Freight for $5 a pair, this is how you do it for less than even $25.

The cart is made up of PVC pipe, wheels from Amazon, and an old pool noodle. Mine has held up easily through about a dozen trips to the lake and just recently to Son's Island in Seguin, TX. Make sure you leave the plastic out of the sun to keep this lasting longer, although some good quality paint protector spray will go a long way too and that is what my kayak cart has on it.

The only thing I would really add to this cart is a bungee cord that can wrap around the kayak to hold it more securely onto this cart. The cart holds up just fine, but if the kayak is dry and the pool noodles are dry, the kart can sometimes slip off.

Other than that, this cart can go through rocky roads, muddy roads, or paved roads. Doesn't matter, you're good.
