Not quite the same as an exocage, but here is a roof rack I completed last week. Its pretty strong, and would resist a light layover quite well. The design brief was to keep it light, and obviously it is primarily a roof rack. Total weight is around 20kg's.

Mine. Pretty sure it was built by parkside towbars in the 1980s.

I think you should buy a bender... Square tube will look shocking, especially without bends.
