Looks like the No 8 wire he's holding is going to do the job in true Kiwi fashion.

at least they aren't ACROSS the tray at the back. I've seen someone do that with a trailer, on the main road.

Wind resistance would be very bad. Hubby recalls someone tying a 150x150mm x 6Metre Heavy gauge angle iron UNDER a Volkswagen car one time when he worked at Steel and Tube in Nelson. The guy drove away with it sticking substantial length past both front and rear bumpers. Hubby reckoned it looked very dangerous for other road users in particular.

Saw a guy with 300x50 sticking straight up approx 3metres through the sunroof, and a boy of about 10years sitting in the seat below with the timber held between his knees.

surely Bunnings staff wouldn't let him drive off like that and endangering the public. But it looks like he wouldn't have loaded it himself without the help of Bunnings staff.

I once loaded a load of fence rails over the back of our teeny-tiny trailer. It was okay until I got onto the motorway and it started to sway. Just like this.
Give the man a break guys, obviously he needs to build a house so he’s got somewhere to smoke his crack.

He hasn't finished tying it down yet. He'll throw the rope over the front and bend the wood down to an acceptable height and tie it off on the front bullbar LOL

In my experience the Staff at Bunning would not let you go with the load like that. I have seen them tell a customer that their trailer was too small for the load, go and get a bigger one or use one of their loan ones.

Haha. Don't know which Bunnings you're shopping at. First up, stopping you driving away like that, yeah right. Second up, the staff helping load, yeah, nah.

Thats hit the nail on the head. I rarely go to Bunnings, but everytime I do the staff are like a mirage, you can see them in the distance, but you can never seem to reach them to ask for help.

Once he gets above 50kph that ute will start foiling.

no, thats about right. with the right air pressure tires don't noticeable sag under that amount of weight. its not a lot of weight and its shared on all 4 springs because its so far forward. i've had double that easy enough with little deflection. plus load springs are common.

Bunnings don't allow any overhang at all on their trailers anymore, goods have to be 'in' the trailer. Probably why he did that.

Just bought some fence rails from Bunnings and the guy who served me did check I was loaded within the limit of 4m from the axle and he put a flag on the overhang on my trailer which was nearly 2 m .

Wife used to have a Rover convertible. Regularly used it with the roof down, timber in the passenger footwell, strapped to the roll bar. The guys at ITM used to call it our city ute.
