Roof rack and Awning

Hi folks,

I am looking for a roof rack and awning.
They will just be used a few times a year. Looking at the Terrafirma racking and Awning. They seem cheap. Both for 800 quid. Any thoughts ? Any good? Avoid the brand?

I have a electric folding tent mounted on the 110 L663 rack.
To give a 'nod' to the olde Defender I fabricated an aluminium frame and made a canvas hood, complete with eyelets and rope.

Thinking outside the box.

Ened up buying the Terrafirma roof rack.
So far great value for money. Quite satisfied. A lot of engineering effort to create the rack base a little bit less refinement in the nuts and bolt kit to fix the rack to the roof sliders.
For the price I think is a great kit.
Tip for future buyers: I have removed the rear ladder to fit the rack. However I have soon realised it wasn’t needed. And it’s one man job as well. The rack is not heavy to lift.
