A roof bar arrangement, suitable for supporting loads on a vehicle roof, comprising two elongate parts 2, 3 and a bracket (19, Figure 7) that allows the second elongate part 2 to articulate relative to the first elongate part 3. The first elongate part 3 has longitudinally-separated feet (4, Figure 1) that can be mounted to a vehicle roof. The second elongate part 2 has an upper load-receiving surface (2a, Figure 3) that is slidably secured to the first elongate part 3; and is extendable longitudinally relative to the first elongate part 3 from a contracted configuration to an extended configuration. The second elongate part 2 has a longitudinal channel in which the first elongate part is received in the contracted configuration. The load-receiving surface is accessible from a side of a vehicle when the second elongate part 2 articulates relative to the first elongate part 3.
