Default Who likes my new roof rack?

Who likes my new roof rack theres three horizontals. My plan is to extend the vertical uprights w/ ¼” x 2” not sure if it will sway? This is a heavey duty weather guard commercial rack not a flimesy mickey mouse.

Plan to measure an beat a 90*on the uprights an bolt to the rack will also bolt to the gutter grabber.

This rack is wide it hangs outside about a 1’ on each side. Considering remounting the awning to the rack? Or I’ll have to space it out, hope it won’t howl in the wind?

I haven't decided what to carry on this rack yet but like to have it just in case I want to carry something big.
any tips on installing is appreciated.

I would worry about fore<>aft and left<>right motion, likely just OK for very low weight loads but for heavy loads it could be questionable. I would suggest defining “just in case” weight and see if your roof gutters would survive this load.
