Default A 40 or 2 x 20?

Hi Lionel,

You'll find moving 20 footers much easier to organise (it's just a tilt-bed) than a truck capable of loading & moving a 40 footer, should you ever have to move them. If you want 40 feet in length, consider two 20s end to end.

Best regards

Mike

As Mike says, twenty footers are much easier to move. They are also less like a black hole as the light gets to the far end from the door. This doesn't matter if you are using a 40 footer for long term storage but rooting around with a torch can be a bit of a pain.

David.

That is also why the little ones cost almost as much as a big one.

Speaking of black holes .... every time I try to upload an image to add to this conversation, I get a Load Failed error.
