How Do You Build A Canoe Rack For A Pickup Truck?
A canoe rack is a great accessory for a pick-up truck. It can be used to tow your canoe to your favorite pond or to carry ladders and other accessories like rafts, kayaks and more. You can build these racks from 2-inch steel pipes if you have welding equipment or access to a welder. They will be very strong and sturdy just like your truck and it really beats carrying the canoe in the bed with the tail gate down. Measure the distance from the top of the truck cab walls to the top of the truck cab. Then add 7 inches, and cut four lengths of 2-inch steel pipe to this length. Measure the width of your truck cab, from the center of the top of one of the truck cab walls, to the center of the top of the other. Then cut two lengths of steel pipe to this measurement plus 4 inches. Also, mark down the width from the center of one truck cab wall to the center of the other for the next step. Set two of the pipes you cut in step 1 side by side next to each so they are perfectly parallel to each oth
