Canoe
looking for some home made canoe rack ideas for my popup?

My trailer has the older style aluminium roof. I installed roof racks back in 2001 when it was new. It came with sealant for the holes and the lag screws really tightened well. I installed it myself because i did not want someone else drilling through my roof. Mostly we carried 4 bikes, but when we drove across the country we mounted our roof carrier (ski carrier) for lawn chairs etc. It would easily hold my canoe - i would likely reposition one piece for a wider stance.
The roof rack came with thick plastic pads for installation on a one piece roof, but i recall i would have had to drill completely through and install a steel plate inside at the 4 points.
12 years later there is no sign of rotting or weakening so it can be done. I have attached a photo - excuse the dirty roof. I'll get right on that cleaning project. :)
I could not remember how to get a photo to display...
