Making A Roof Rack

You ll need to do some welding and metal cutting for a homemade roof rack as well.

Making a roof rack.

I decided to make a saddle type kayak roof rack. Wood can be the least expensive option to go if you re on a budget. After checking through my supply of junk i found some brackets that are used to mount satellite dishes to roofs or walls. An important decision can be choosing between steel aluminum and wood.

Using a flat head screw driver assemble the roof rails to the top of the car by sxrewing the side rails and the cross bars together. The next accessory i made for the roof rack was a kayak rack. There are a variety of kayak roof racks on the market everything from j cradles stackers and saddle racks. Ensure that the roof rack is in position and properly adjusted leaving good space at the centre.
