What Have You Managed To Fit In Your Stag?

[Daleo]

You ain't spose to lay them down :S Our 50'' in the box wouldn't fit in the back standing up.

I have a friend who is a storeman for Bing Lee in Sydney, he laughs hysterically every time he hears this kind of thing. According to him, the plasma's arrive flat on their backs, stacked on a pallet from the manufacturer.

I think they just like messing with people, also I think it's a bit of a ruse by the shops to push people into home delivery they wouldn't otherwise bother with. That, and I've never seen one stuff up after it's been laid on it's back.

I think its so that you dont stack your own stuff on top of it - and therefore damage the screen etc.

Storing it flat with either nothing on top or in a stack of the same sized boxes would probably be fine...hence why they come like that. But if you were for example to place a heavy chair on top it could pierce the box and damage it.

By recommending people store them upright, it almost eliminates this risk. Very difficult to stack other things on it when its standing up.

2 front bars and a bonnet.... last Friday.

Could still fit a fair bit more in and around them too

Much less in than on, but i have had it stacked with tools and various others..

the workbench took 4 hefty guys to put on the roof and a bobcat to remove it

the boxes are empty but are stacked 1.2m above the roof, got lots of funny looks..

2 x tonne bags worth of yucca tree cuttings/trunks

Or

An entire flat pack kitchen including appliances

Or

Half a dozen (slightly bent) 8x4 sheets of ply

Yeah, mine gets abused a fair bit!

Must remember that just cos it fits, it doesn't mean it should!

Half a dozen sheets completely in the car, or hanging out the back? I got a nearly-full sheet of gyprock (2400x980) completely inside the car and managed to drive home, albeit with a gangsta lean on.

[mowgs]

Lol!

Yeah hanging out back, but only just!

Was tempted to trim a slot in the d pillar trim at the same level of the load cover so that boards would sit flat.

Like you say, bit of gangsta lean going on but would fit!
