I have one...

Most people call it a roof rack. My rails are close enough together so I can walk, sit, stand, haul stuff up there all the time.

I have this:



It's wire pallet shelving, with a load rating of 3,000 lbs. Best part, $30!

This is what it looks like front a distance. (From a photographers website. He's the one who gave me the idea.)
