At home rollcages, Is it possible, with a little help.... Options

So was looking at off the shelf cage designs & TBO i don't fancy any of them. So question is if i pickup a Autopower weld in roll hoop & some extra lengths of DOM tubing could i make something myself (Minus points, no welder, welding experience, tube bender nore notcher). Or have a fabricator make additional pieces.


This is the idea for passanger compartment. Criteria, save my skin in side impact & rollover situations. Keep targa panel. Stiffen longs.

There could be extra tie in bars to suspension, but thats not this cage's primary purpose.

I would highly advise against learning to weld on a roll cage.
you can certainly add bars to an off the shelf type of cage, but I wouldn't do it yourself. Pay a local race shop to do it for you.

I've welded for about 8 years now and did all of the welding on my own car except for the cage. I wouldn't touch the cage. I view that as the most critical welds on the whole car and won't place my life on the line for such an important weld.
