How to Build Lumber Loads and Cargo Containers

[cv_acr]

I've seen photos of wrapped loads in the 1960s, but probably became more common through the 1970s and 80s.

I've also seen un-wrapped loads present day.

All of what I've seen most recently had load of wood wrapped. I guess there are still loads not wrapped. I would like to model both because it's just more interesting to have different loads.

Nice work going on here.

Here's one that I shot less than 2 weeks ago:

Wrapped far outnumbers unwrapped these days though.

I agree with you, Dave - modeling both wrapped and unwrapped makes it interesting.
Chris, thanks for posting that recent photo of unwrapped lumber.
This has been an interesting and useful conversation so far, at least for this new guy.

Easiest way to check prototype usage is Youtube videos.

You know what those look like? Pallet slats.
