Homemade roof rack

[vampli]

Here is a roof rack i build from a ladder and some roof rails i didn't use. It's a simple and cheap way to make a solid roof rack. Just add more roof rails if you need.

Roof rails= 50 $ at a scrapyard
Ladder = 100 $ from store similar to your Walmart
Paint = 45 $

I've been searching for a low cost DIY rack. This is really clever!

Very cool. Love this kind of stuff.

I used an aluminum commercial kitchen rack for my rear cargo rack.

Sir, you should have your own "bud light real men of genius" commercial.

 

[Giacobbe]

COOL!
Someone else has built something like this? Do you have some pictures with the rack on the car roof?

I took inspiration of this thread and made my own!

It is a 4m ladder that is cut into and everything is bolted or pop riveted.
