Default Anyone here have a flatbed auto trailer I can borrow next weekend?

just bought my kids a big wooden swingset, and I don't want to disassemble it too much to move it. the thing is, assembled, it is too big to fit on my little 5x8 trailer, so I am looking to borrow something a little bigger to move this thing.

thanks

can you just build a wooden frame to rest the swingset onto your 5x8?

Default that would just get awfully tall

this swing set includes 2 forts, each is 6'3" x 6'3" x 10' tall.

I figure with a flatbed, might be able to stand both upright on it. that would save me a trip.

What are you going to pull it with? A flat bed car hauler is HEAVY!+singset.

Default probably with friends grand cherokee, or other friends LR Disco.

the hauler itself could be brought home by the allroad, but once much weight is on the trailer, it could go over the 3300lb capacity of the hitch pretty easy.
