In "Harry Brown" wrote: 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. Also, a 16-ft 4x4 is likely to weigh over 50 pounds, depending on moisture content. |
