Hanging kayak on garage wall - max load on wood paneling?

[dubbeltumme]

I am setting up brackets to hang a kayak outside on the garage wall. The kayak weighs about 30 kg and will hang in two nylon straps (think seat belts), with the weight fairly evenly distributed on each strap. The strap is attached to the wall with a sturdy screw through an eyelet.

The garage wall has horizontal wooden paneling (28 mm), and I need a distance of about 150 cm between the straps, meaning I can't screw into the studs. The question is: is it sufficient to screw directly into the paneling, or do I need to reinforce it somehow? If so, how?

Screw up a 45x45 long enough to sit in two studs so you can wrap the straps around it where it fits.

I have a Prijon sea kayak 4.5m that sits steadily in two of the thinner straps available. The same when it's on the roof rack.

We have also hung up a Kodiak at 5.1 in light concrete, just two plugs.

I have two sea kayaks on the garage wall, but they rest on regular shelf brackets (two per kayak) that are screwed directly into the paneling. It's held up for 5-6 years without problems.

No problem at all, a couple of 6mm screws on each end hold this easily. The panel holds without issue.
