Wood can be the least expensive option to go if you re on a budget.
Making a roof rack.
After checking through my supply of junk i found some brackets that are used to mount satellite dishes to roofs or walls.
Ensure that the roof rack is in position and properly adjusted leaving good space at the centre.
However steel and aluminum are more durable and stronger so they will last you a lot longer.
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.
Avoid drilling too deep into the roof of the car.
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.
You ll need to do some welding and metal cutting for a homemade roof rack as well.
