Making a roof rack.

There are a variety of kayak roof racks on the market everything from j cradles stackers and saddle racks. I decided to make a saddle type kayak roof rack. Ensure that the roof rack is in position and properly adjusted leaving good space at the centre. The next accessory i made for the roof rack was a kayak rack.

You ll need to do some welding and metal cutting for a homemade roof rack as well. Wood can be the least expensive option to go if you re on a budget. If you have factory roof racks that run from front to back you can build your own steel crossmembers using one inch square tubing cut to size and secured to the factory racks using carriage bolts. Avoid drilling too deep into the roof of the car.
