Here's a plan for building a BMX roof rack: BMX riders know that having the right gear is crucial for a smooth ride. One essential piece of equipment every rider needs is a sturdy roof rack to carry their bike safely and securely. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of building your very own BMX roof rack. To begin with, gather all the necessary materials: 2" x 4" lumber for the frame, 1/2" plywood for the roof deck, aluminum tubing for the rack's supports, and some weather-resistant screws to hold everything together. You'll also need a drill press, impact driver, jigsaw, and sandpaper. First, cut four pieces of 2" x 4" lumber to the same length. These will be the frame's vertical posts. Next, cut two more pieces for the horizontal supports that will connect the posts. Use your impact driver to predrill screw holes in each piece. Now it's time to assemble the frame. Apply some wood glue to the corners and screw them together using 2 1/2" screws. Make sure everything is square before moving on to the next step. Cut a piece of plywood to fit on top of the frame, leaving about an inch around the edges for expansion. Attach it to the frame using 1 1/4" screws. This will be your roof deck. For the aluminum supports, cut four pieces to the same length and attach them to the underside of the roof deck using aluminum rivets or pop rivets. These will provide additional support for your BMX bike. To secure the rack to your vehicle's roof, you'll need some D-rings or J-hooks. Drill holes in the top of each vertical post and attach the D-rings or J-hooks using some strong screws. This will give you a place to hook up your straps or tie-downs. Finally, sand everything down to smooth out any rough edges or splinters. Apply a coat of waterproof sealant to protect your roof rack from the elements. With these steps complete, you now have a sturdy BMX roof rack that's ready for action. Just remember to always follow safety guidelines when loading and transporting your bike.
