kayak supports
Submitted by 5 mile on Tue, 2011-03-15 18:52
hi all, i was wondering if anyone new where would be the best place or website to get some kayak carriers/supports to put on my roof rack to hold my kayak in place. im over having to use a rope to tie it which takes forever and isnt quite 100% safe as i am not a scout that knows a million different knots. bcf etc has them for 185 dollars but for what they are.... THAT IS A RIP OFF! any help would be really appreciated!

Tie downs
Have a look at the ratchet tie down straps, they come in many sizes and do the trick easily while you're in Bunnings
