Roof Rack Flooring

[Reata Rover]

Ant suggestions on material and where to get it? I have seen some that is fairly dense, which is what I am looking for, but it is a mesh of some sort.

Thanks,

kennel flooring it the only way to go.

I second Farmtek. Had it for more than a year now and looks the exact same. Just get really beefy/thick zip ties. Normal ones will fall apart after a couple of months.

How hard is to cut that stuff, and how much distance can there be between supports? I am trying to span soem Thule load bars, rather than it actaully being in a basket or a roof rack.

Just get a Hannibal! Then you don't have to worry about flooring...

I would go with another product. Maybe marine grade plywood, sheet metal, etc etc.

Problem solved!!

EZ to cut, not strong enough to span load bars. If you have a basket with widely spaced bars( +-16") you'de be okay. Kennel floor deflects too much otherwise.

Here is the drill. I have the Maggiolina Airland spanning three Thule Load bars. The load bars around about 20 inches apart. I have enough room on either side of the tent to store a couple of Wedco's. These will weigh in at around 20-30 pounds each when full of fuel. Now that I am thinking about this, I think the answer is the marine grade plywood; relatively cheap, easy to install, can be removed after my expedition, easy to mount the wedco holders to it.

Thanks for the loan of the 'big brains', sometimes, I have to just bounce stuff off to help me think it through. I really appreciate it.

I love this site!!

the farmtek stuff is very easy to cut, not enough to span a large gap. Three pieces are needed to cover the flat floor section, order a fourth piece to cover the angled section. Notching the front piece to slip around the front rack posts provide a slicker fit. Think before cutting, maximize the sides that will still interlock.

And then give the left over to a friend after you cut the forth so they can use it on their rack!
