- I build a roof rack for my SUV so I can transfer lumber and move doors. This rack is made with metal fencing and it's all attached by screws. No welding involved. It also has a special door loading mechanism for those in the door business.
Rust will be an issue with steel, especially in between the gaps where the pieces join. Maybe try fill it with Sikaflex or something similar. But this is really smart, I love projects like this. I'm going to give it a go but with an aluminium gate piece
This is great.
Going to use this idea for my roof deck. Thanks again.
That's a great way to save some money. Good idea
Definitely!
That's awesome! Ingenious idea and great implementation!
Great idea using the fence section. Thanks for posting.
This is exactly what I was looking for, but looking at using the 4-foot aluminum fence to attach to my existing rack for an old ford expy.
Turned out nice. Good to see a new post from you !!
I used your idea for a roof deck for my excursion
Thanks so much for this idea.
If you want to see pics dm me:)
Glad to see you uploading again
Genius, great and simple idea ,love it
Amazingly creative, thanks.
Wry very cool looks like u really spent a lot just to make it thou ?
Actually, this was pretty cheap, just very labor intensive. I've made 6 more since then. Ultimately, I took a one day welding course and welded a custom frame that is absolutely perfect. I've been at this for 20 years and to this day, I am always refining my systems. Thanks for watching
You're a genius
Wow!!! With your video, I just found the roof rack for my 1999 Expedition made from some old metal fencing that I can use. Now, to figure out how to also make it a stand-on/sleep-on platform? Thank you very much. :)
I want to take off this. I'm thinking of putting plywood over it and making a cargo carrier for my van I can walk on and attach my solar panels to. I'm going through different designs in my head, but a large cargo carrier is expensive and I don't weld.
2 4'x8' sheets, a fence panel, some 2x6s, gas struts, seals. I could make an aerodynamic cargo carrier and occasional roof deck. Nothing fancy. Attach it to a cheap roof rack. The usual rusty parts will get covered.
It would be fairly cheap and nothing would compare. This could give me some strength. Thanks!
The back roller is genius. My guys screwed up my hatch spoiler dragging material across it
PURE GENIUS!!!
Very ingenious!
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing. Where did you purchase the metal bar from? The one that slides in and out.
Wow this is a awesome great job!
nice job
Love this design. How heavy is the finished rack?
The rack width bar cuts exposed metal rusty water on yur car can u update what that looks like now..
Ok, Pete is hawt!
Freaking genius
Brilliant
When it rusts (and it will), it'll drip down yellow liquid almost impossible to clean on your car paint.
It depends on the material. Some are aluminum, some are steel. I have a convertible roof or hitch carrier. It was rusting on my roof. Spray paint it and seal any openings so no water gets in. I am concerned about all the screw holes.
Where did you get the metal bars from and how much
What happened to your blue SUV ?
