Finished the flat iron roof rack
Needed something flat and long to handle back boards, stokes liters and the like (S&R stuff). I didn't really want a basket either, so I built my own.
Just flat and angle iron and some 3/4 EMT. . Kind of looks like a bed frame for a box spring and mattress but it's not.
No welds, just bolts and nylon nuts.
The cross bar all the way forward will not support weight just a place for bungees.

Beach shower
I use a gravity fed system. White PVC in summer and black in the other seasons.
Flow is good using a camp shower nozzle, I found no need for pressure. I inserted a PVC baffle in center of tube to reduce slosh.
Water is 8 pounds per gallon. Tube holds just under 5 gallons.
