Why not a rented van
Why shouldn’t I transport hardwood frames in a rented van?
A short answer on delivery and site access. If it does not cover your property, request a free survey.
Rented vans lack specialized air-ride suspensions and secure internal battening. Without proper load distribution, lateral forces during turns can warp the mortise and tenon joints of the timber, permanently ruining the frame’s alignment.
