Are you looking to breathe new life into your car? Just the addition of a roof rack can completely transform your car for any and every occasion. Most people know roof racks can provide the ideal place to store sports equipment such as bicycles, snowboarding and kayaks. But that’s just the beginning! 

            Your typical roof rack or roof rail can fit items over four feet long and provide upwards of 165 pounds of storage, perfect for those items that are just too bulky to fit into your trunk. Read on to find out the most unexpected and practical ways to put your roof rack to work: 

Moving & Construction Projects

            Think of your roof rack as an all-purpose hauling tool. It’s the perfect size for boxes or bulky furniture, making it perfect for moving. In addition, construction items like ladders that are too long to fit in a trunk are perfect for the roof, which frees up more space. Instead of renting a moving truck, let your roof do the heavy lifting. With everything securely tied down, you’ll free up interior space while staying organized.

Outdoor Activities

            While most people associate roof racks with the outdoors, most probably don’t know how much the roof rack can help with their next adventure. Tents, sleeping bags, and other camping supplies are perfect for a roof rack. The roof is also the perfect space to store firewood, keeping potential mess or damage from keeping firewood inside the car. Add on an awning to create instant shade or shelter and just like that, your car is the perfect camping setup.  

And So Much More! 

            The true strength of a roof rack is its flexibility. Add a roof box or basket for extra storage without the need to strap down individual items. Think of it as a second trunk that can carry gas cans, water jugs, coolers, inflatable rafts, and even portable showers.

            Make sure to always properly secure your items so they are not obstructing your view. Choosing the right roof rack can unlock new opportunities to transport the things that make your life special. See our offerings of high quality roof-racks here.
