Van dimensions for picking up 6 x 6 fence panels

Corelli

Hi, I feel a bit inadequate posting this, but I just can't visualise if I can get 10 6x6 fence panels in one of these vans. Obviously not standing vertically, but maybe at a slant? I don't know how deep a pile of 10 would be. Has anyone any practical experience of moving such a quantity? http://www.zipvan.com/zipvan-special-offer?gclid=CPOMscqu38QCFYzMtAodeh4AgA#how-it-works

I've just popped out into the garden and measured on the ground 1.3 m x 1.48m and measured across the diagonal (don't ask me why I did:D) and you will struggle to get one in let alone 10.........You need a bigger van or get them delivered. Any reason why you want to pick them up?.

PS:10 panels stacked will be around 20" or 500mm wide

As above. Buying from someone local who delivers would make more sense.

Best getting them delivered, I've a low roof swb transit so similar size to the vw, on the angle I can get 5 6x6 panels in, but it's incredibly awkward

I've moved 4 with a hightop sprinter van,and more recently with a luton box van.
You will need a luton for 10(great fun on your own in b&q's car park!)

If you live on the Kent/East Sussex border PM me and I will give you a hand. I have an L2H2 Citroen Relay so acres of room..........

That's really sweet of you Leveller2911, but just slightly in the wrong area thank you for the measuring and the offer. It's for a potential ebay bargain of course, but adding in the fuel and hire costs of a van it's looking less of a good idea. M'boy says get loads of pallets and he'll make some ... hmmmm.....that might be yet another of life's bad ideas.
