Why it's important to select the correct vehicle and tyre size
Vehicle
There are a surprising number of vehicles that cannot use traditional snowchains, the types that put chain on the inside of the wheel as well as on the tread. This is usually because there is not enough space between the wheels and the shock absorbers; this can be a problem for ordinary SUVs and 4x4s as well as for high performance cars.
You will find this important information in your car handbook - please check this before using your snowchains! Our database is intended to do the basic work for you but, with so many new vehicles and tyre sizes, it should only ever be treated as a guide.
Tyre size
Please also check your tyre size - if you buy incorrectly-sized chains they will be either too tight or too loose.
Ladder track chains
The good news is that car handbooks usually only refer to "traditional snowchains". Ladder track chains such as the Polaire GRIP and Spikes-Spider range only put chain over the tyre tread, so are not subject to these restrictions. They are also ideal for use on rear wheel drives where there is minimal space between the top of the wheel and the wheel arch.
It's really important to select the correct vehicle, paying attention to the year of the manufacture

Yakima DoubleHaul fly rod carrier (up to 4 rods) no. 8004087
Our Price
£549.95
Code: YK8004087
Overview:
The Yakima DoubleHaul carries up to four fully-strung fly rods, or two fly rods and two spey rods.
It carries the rods on their sides. Placing a reel on its side cuts down on the road vibration that's transferred to the rod and reduces strain and wear on the rod eyelets. The reel box has felt padding to provide even more protection and to reduce vibration. Unlike some rod carriers, each rod is held separately, in its own compartment.
The reel box is lockable and the carrier also locks to the roof bars.
Fits most of the bars we sell.
The Description tab lists the bars we sell which are unsuitable for this product.

Features:
- Customisable rooftop fly rod carrier, configurable at either 11 ft. (365 cm) or 6 ft. (183 cm) of length. For hatch clearance information see the 'fitting information' tab.
- Transports four fully strung fly rods up to 10 ft. (305 cm) long.
- The top two reel slots fit most 12 weight reels and the bottom two reel slots fit most 10 weight reels.
- The reel box holds common fighting butts of single-handed rods.
- The reel box holds up to two spey rods in the upper slots.
- Four individual plastic-lined aluminum rod tubes provide strength and separation for rods while also helping prevent abrasion.
- Clip-on rubber pads are also included to provide extra padding for your rod for long road trips or extra rough roads.
- Side placement of reels reduces wear on rod-stripping guides and eyelets.
- Custom-fitted felt padding for premium reel protection.
- Universal mounting hardware fits most roof bars - the Doublehaul fits all the bars we sell except for Thule ProBars, Thule SlideBars, and the Dropracks system.
- Includes locks to secure the rods inside the DoubleHaul and to lock the DoubleHaul to the roof bars.
Please note that this carrier is clamped around the roof bars and therefore will not fit to Thule ProBars (they are too deep), or to Thule SlideBars and the Dropracks systems (they are too deep, and they also slide). |

Delivery FAQs
When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.
What about Next Working Day delivery?
We have offered a reliable Next Working Day service for well over 20 years but, due to the pressure on the couriers caused by the coronavirus crisis and the huge increase in online shopping, we can no longer be confident about the delivery date, which is why we now call the service ‘Express delivery’. Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next or second working day, but some will arrive on the second or third working day, or be split between these days. So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.
Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.
Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.
Payment options:
We take the following cards, and also PayPal. Please note that the entry on your card statement will be from "The Roof Box Company".
