I'm hoping to use these 16 footers for an antenna mast, but I'm not
sure how to transport them. I own a Ford Taurus stationwagon that has
a rack on top. Delivery fees are way too high for just a couple of
posts. Is it possible to transport two at a time with my
stationwagon? How would this be done?
I'm guessing that the roof rack of your Taurus consists of rails which
run front to back on each side of the roof. If so, your best bet is to
fasten two cross members running from side to side at the front- and
rear-most part of the rails. Then you can lash the lumber to the
crosswise members.
That all assumes that the lumber is rigid enough so that it doesn't flap
around under its own weight and that your Taurus is long enough that the
lumber doesn't protrude too far front and rear. You might want to tie
the front and rear ends of the lumber to the front and rear bumpers
somehow, and might be required to attach warning flags to one or both
ends.
