This package is made from hardwood material, and has a bottom frame made of three 4″ x 4″ stringers. On top of these stringers are three more 4″ x 4″ pieces running perpendicular to the bottom stringers, with three 2″ x 4″ pieces running across the top of them (parallel to and directly on top of the bottom stringers). Each end consists of a 2″ x 6″ pieces that provide a lip to prevent the sheets from overhanging off of the pallet. When loaded, the package has three 2″ x 4″ uprights on each side that are nailed to 4″ x 4″ pieces running across the top of the lift and is wrapped with 1-1/4″ non-metallic strapping to prevent damage to the uprights while the product is in transit. There are also several small spacers between each of the sheets to allow for air movement. Although the package size can vary with the dimension of the sheet, the one shown has a height of 41-3/4″, a width or 58″, and a length of 116-1/2″.
