How do I decided whether to buy the Fold-a-rack hangers or simply haul my panels inside the trailer?
If you have an extra stall in your trailer, hauling the panels in a stall works fine (just be sure you buy a length that fits your trailer – usually 7’4″). If you prefer to haul them outside the trailer, be aware that by law, 8’6″ is the maximum width for a vehicle or trailer. The Fold-a-rack hangers extend 10.5 inches beyond the side of the trailer. They work well for wide-fendered trailers. If you have a narrow-fendered trailer or no fenders, measure the width of your trailer and add the 10.5 inches needed for the hangers to see whether you are within the legal limits.
