    Not to be a jerk, but 52.5' is the same as 52'6", isn't it?

    That comes from being one inch shorter than it has to be such as 13.5 for bridges. Good to go. LOL.

    In other words 52.5' is a different way of writing 52 and 1/2 feet, and if a foot is 12 inches, isn't 1/2 foot 6 inches?

    That dimension is the OUTSIDE.

    I arrived at that conclusion once while loading one of our 48 footers, noticed only 3 feet of floor space left after 22 skids, and said "crap, the last two won't fit". :biggrin_25512:

    Perhaps, but that would've required pulling off two rows and pinwheeling them to gain that extra 12 inches and I didn't feel like it. :p
