Hi Milt, Thanks for chiming in with your experiences. Basically exactly what I was looking for.
I think we should probably just strap the (sandwiched) material to our roof, and then use a 4x6 or 5x8 to store normal burn gear. That said, has anyone had issues with renting uHaul trailers for the burn? Thanks all, happy Saturday!
