Roof Rack Build, Eventually Small Batch For Group-Buy

[oxsign]

Looks good, but I agree with the to much curve on it.

I'm definitely interested in ANY roof rack so please update if you are still pursuing this.

Any thought to making the laterals flat, rather than following the roof curve? That may allow for better stacking, especially for building materials.

I know the curved ones look better. My Pedro Fasty rack is curved, and for low boxes/stuff it is perfect!

But for a Square, maybe utilitarian is a good thing! Lumber, plywood sheets, stuff like that fits better with flat crosspieces.

Maybe you could make clamp-on straight crossbars that clip to the side rails when you need a flat surface? The best of both. Front and rear crosspieces might interfere, though. Something to consider.

The only thing with a lower roof rack is that it's a bit difficult to get a sponge/wash mitt under there when washing the car. This is assuming having wood slats. Probably not a concern but wanted to point that out.

I haul stuff on mine, so I build 'em flat

still have to do some slats for the black one but lumber pricing is retarded lately

Thanks
