Does this have a rigid base? Or does there need to be a basket between it and the roof bars?

It has a smooth base. I just used a basket because I have one don't believe you need one though.

No rigid base. But you don't need a basket, either. It forms itself and as long as it's tied down securely it's google to go. Cross bars are necessary.

Yes, this basket is more designed for roof bars that go from driver to passenger side rather that bars that run from front to rear anyways. I used the basket on a Volkswagen Golf that had a thule rack but otherwise would have had a bare roof

It comes with a metal frame that hooks over the handlebars, then the basket sits in this frame. I've carried a gallon of milk + other groceries and the basket has held strong with the weight. The basket can be easily removed to take into the store, and the frame stays fixed to the handlebars.

The wheels are there on the side bottom. The instructions say, do not use the insert for smaller diameter umbrella poles to tilt the base. this makes it very difficult to move.

The bag does not have a rigid frame. I used two extra large plastic storage containers to put stuff in and then put them in the bag. Good construction. Waterproof. Strong zippers. Very happy with the purchase.

Yes. Basket, 4 screws, 2 mounting plates with 2 holes each. No nuts needed since the plate holes are threaded.

The base is just a Empty Plastic Container.. The Legs would be those of the Umbrella you already have (or should if you are getting this). The Base does have a couple wheels on the backside to help you move it once it is fulle of sand/water etc. But no legs.

The bar that goes underneath the basket is bolted on. You can remove the bolts and bar from the basket if you wish.

A kick stand could be added to the trailer. A roof rack is not advisable since it would require cutting the fabric cover.

Yes re:support structure. Easy to put up. Needs to be staked in windy conditions. Stakes not provided.

It does, I have Yakima round cross bars and it clamped right to them with some pin Allen screws (for theft, not a standard Allen head) and steel brackets on the bottom. Best basket on the market for the money imo.

You have to assemble the base. You have several height adjustments. i'm very pleased with this hitch.

It is rather easy to assemble. If you look at the picture, you can see two black pieces above the rear wheels. Those slide down to lock the frame in place, the basket just hooks on once you have the frame locked. It all comes back apart in a few seconds, so if you have a small trunk or need extra space it collapses fairly small.

No building necessary. It is put together in the box. Only the battery and wheels need to be put into o place.

The basket itself is rigid and it has a mesh cover that extends over the top to make a dome.

I'm sorry, I misread your question. The basket doesn't have a top. The upper support is shaped like a "U". The basket just slides on tracks and can be removed if you need.

It is meant to sit directly on the roof in between the cross-bars. It is a soft bottom.
