I am planning on building a diy flat rack out of unistrut/superstrut and mounting it to my factory crossbars.
My plan is to mount it with the C-channel facing upward so can have adjustable crossmembers and adjustable eyebolts for tie downs.

Has anyone here built their rack out of unistrut and have any suggestions?

I’ll post pics as I start the project.

I had crossbars made from superstrut for a while. I changed the setup a little, but still use a piece of it to mount my awning. It works well generally. I painted mine black with some primer and auto bumper spray paint. It held up better than I thought. My advice is use lock washers on all your fasteners
