Can I add decking to my FVC roof rack?Updated a year ago

Yes, you can add your own decking to our Low Pro Roof Rack or Standard Racks! Both racks make a great foundation for creating a rooftop deck, half deck, walkway, or just a platform to stand on while you're on the roof. We've seen customers use a wide variety materials including standard solid wood decking, composite decking, and even custom diamond plate steel.

There are so many ways to add a rooftop deck to your adventure van, and our Low Pro and Standard Roof Racks make it easy to add to the crossbars already on your van with a roof rack. Many customers can use the standard amount of crossbars that come with the rack while others while others will need extra crossbars to support the weight - it really depends on how much room you're trying to span with the decking, what kind of materials you're using, and if you have the available space on existing crossbars.

Looking to take the guesswork out of building a deck on the roof of your van? Check out our prefabricated aluminum Universal Decking Panels. They're incredibly easy to install on our 80/20 style crossbars which have drop-in hardware slots. Our decking panels are offered in a variety of sizes so you can build as much or as little of a deck on your van. You can also check out this article to see how many panels can fit on each of our racks.
