Before I get to the problem, my shed has been shipped and is on its way. Now the problem, how do you haul 16-foot 2x8's in an 8-foot trailer? You don't or can't. I do have a solution though... I think. I need two 2x8's by 12.5 feet. The plan is to get Lowes to cut them to 13-feet, that I think I can hall on an 8-foot trailer.
The plan is to take the ramp in the back and lay inside the bed instead of using it like a ramp. The ramp will swing both ways, out or in. Ill then take a board and mount it at the back of the trailer so it's level with the front of the trailer.
I can then take the 2x16 I had cut to 2x13 then lay them on the front of the trailer (on the railing) and on the board I mounted in the back. This way the boards will sit pretty even on the trailer. I'll have about 2-feet out past the front of the trailer, and about 3-feet sticking out the back of the trailer. So, 2-feet out the front, 3-feet out the back, and 8-feet for the length of the trailer, that makes 13-feet.
The tongue on the trailer is long enough that two feet sticking out the front of the trailer should cause any problems.
