Garage
Top is now in my garage, made it "home" in one piece. Eric had made some foam support that follow the roof line that are hidden in the pictures, so the whole setup was more solid than it looks. He also marked it clearly with "Donīt top load" signs. The only thing that could have been done differently is if the top could have been somehow "sunk" into the pallet to lower the overall height. That would have saved me a something like $300 in transport cost (I was charged by volume. But that would have meant no forklifts, but then again the whole setup with pallet only weights about 50 pounds, so forklifts are not really needed.

Glad everything worked out!

I felt the top was secured pretty well to that pallet. I want it secure, but also not so tight that it deforms or damages the roof. The foam worked out pretty well for that I think.

If it made it to Iceland OK, I'm feeling pretty good about the domestic shipments.
