How to tie a box spring to a roof rack.

Use a tie down that wraps around the item and the rails. 2 take an end of the safety strap and loop it down under a roof bar that runs perpendicular to your vehicle and then back up to the top of the cargo. With the cargo on your roof lay the safety strap across the width of your cargo. With the help of your assistant lift the covered mattress onto the roof of the car making sure it s centered.

I am going to pickup a queen size mattress and box springs and my dad is going to take the mattress part in his van but the box springs won t fit in his van because they don t bend like a mattress does. I am planning to strap the box springs to the roof rack on my rav4 and tie them down with a bunch of rope. Lift the mattress or box spring onto the roof. It s best to use a thinner piece of rope and go through an open door and then shut the doors on top of it.

On each side of the roof you ll see a rack that runs the length of the roof of the vehicle. Lay a long piece of rope lengthwise along the roof of the vehicle.
