Hi Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this roof rack:

If so thoughts and opinions? Racks are pricey is there a good spot to find second hand stuff or is anyone selling theirs?

Thanks

Too posh for me. What do you intend to carry?

If you are planning to use it for carrying stuff on a regular basis a Brownchurch rack is a better option , IMHO

Look out for an old farm gate. They appear on auction websites.

I would agree with that. The flat racks like you have linked are designed so you can easily mount a roof tent to it and fold it out without fouling on the side bars. If this is what you want then get that style of rack. If you need a roof rack for hauling thinks and kit rather than expedition work get a brownchurch one. You can also get heavy duty version which have additional vertical supports to spread the load more evening.

I have a Brownchurch with ladder bought new in 1993, currently swapped onto its third CSW. Galv a bit thin on rubbed top rails maybe, but basically as good as the day I bought it. Hope their quality is as good today! Good luck, A

55 Kg ? Most good roof racks are made of aluminium. I had a Brownchurch rack and had to replace in in Walvisbay in Namibia as it was starting to buckle and bend on the corrugations of long distance gravel roads. Bought a Frontrunner one and have now had it for 15 years and still going strong.
