Fits full lumber runs
8-foot sheets of drywall, full-length 2x4s, plywood — the 5x8 open trailer handles them all flat.
Pick up on your timeline
No delivery surcharges or windows. Get materials when your project needs them.
Haul debris out too
Load materials going in, debris going out. One trailer, two runs.
Cheaper than delivery
Home improvement store delivery adds $50–$150 per run. A trailer rental is a fraction of that.
How it goes
Know your load
A 5x8 trailer holds 8-foot materials flat. Calculate sheets, bags, and boards before you go.
Load flat materials on the bottom
Plywood, drywall, and OSB go flat. Stack smaller items on top.
Secure with ratchet straps
Strap everything down before hitting the road. Use at least two straps.
Haul debris on the return
Demolition scraps and old drywall can go on the return trip to the dump.

Common questions
Will 4x8 sheets of plywood fit in a 5x8 trailer?
Yes — the trailer bed is 5 feet wide and 8 feet long, so 4x8 sheets fit perfectly flat.
Can I haul concrete bags?
Yes. 80-lb bags are fine. A full pallet (49 bags) weighs ~3,900 lbs — split between two trips to stay within the 3,500 lb limit.
