2. DESIGN.

2.1. The drawing below gives a very simple general idea of the position and size of a basic roll-cage.

2.2. (Drawing)

2.3.  The main hoop and the windscreen or front hoop will run across the width of the vehicle. Its height will be determined by the requirement for there to be a distance of at least 50mm / 2" from the top of the driver's head (when crash-helmeted as applicable) to the top of the bar and be as wide as possible within the vehicle's body.

2.4.  The main hoop, behind the driver, should be vertical.  It should be as close as possible to the back of the driver's seat.
