Do any of you guys fix a pole or poles to your roof-rack?

If so, how??

(Id have thought most would use a 4" piece of soil pipe) and if you use the soil-pipe method how do you stop the pole falling out the pipe whilst driving along?

Was also thinking of screwing 38mm pipe-clips to the roof rack bars, or whatever size necessary, to clip the pole onto and then it can be 'snapped' out when you reach the job.

Thanks

i got same van as u matt combom, use a  soil pipe with the screw end caps then cut a selction out the soil pipe and stick pole in and screw lid on

i use the black gutter pipe screw cap at the front and just push the poles in the back the hose holds them in at first i used to always use a bungie strap to hold them in but there is no need

[dave0123]

how did a bungie hold it in though?

how did a bungie hold it in though?

one hook to the straps that hold the pipes down and the other end to the y piece, still would use it the odd time on the motorway just in case

I currently keep all of my poles (2x Super-Lite, 2x SL-X and 1x 13ft X-Tel) in a Ski roof box on the roof.

Do you just slide the pole into the pipe and thats that?? No cap, strap, bungee or anything else?? Or do the poles just sit in there loose?

I use a rhino pole rack, just have to take the brush head off.. although when im driving about i leave the brush head on between jobs and the pole stays in place...

[dave0123]

And where do you normally park on a Friday night,.....

[Alex Gardiner]

It is polycarbonate, triple centrally locked and is parked under CCTV! The box alone is worth more than the vehicle. 

[Nathanael Jones]

LOL,.. I should think so with all that loot in there!!!

Personally I only ever keep thinks on the roof rack that I wouldn't be upset about if they got stolen,... ladders for example!
