Five kayaks on Thule Roof Bars?

simons545 · 2014-05-22 21:15:07

Exactly as the title says. Is it possible for a short journey? Volkswagen Polo, 1998. If so, I would be intrigued to know how (preferably with pics) (these are all playboats) Thanks in advance!:cool:

Would 5 not exceed the weight limit of the bars ?

Probably depends on the bar's and kayak weights, but if it's 50kg load limit you will have a problem.

Most I've ever had is four. i think the fifth might be the straw that breaks the camels back.

Most bars will take 60 - 70 kg. Think room would be the problem. How short a journey? If really short, as in less the 1.5 miles, then make 2 trips.

You mean something like this?

We managed another 2 on top again by the end.

I've seen plenty of cars with 5 creekers lined up on their sides on racks. Although given that they were super width racks on Mondeos and 4x4's. For playboats I'd say just stack them vertically. 2 columns of boats.
