For what it's worth, Relatively inexpensive kayak loading and carrying racks may be made from combinations of 1 1/4 inch, 1inch pipe and 1inch Diam. steel tubing. 1 inch pipe will telescope (slide) into 1 1/4 inch pipe very nicely and 1 inch tubing will slide into 1 inch pipe. I have made and modified several racks over the years using those materials with standard pipe fittings (tees and els) These racks were for pickup trucks, so of course the use of pipe etc. would not be applicable to all kayak hauling vehicles. If any pickup drivers have questions regarding "how to", feel free to reply back channel.
