    That would be my feeling.

    Should be fine as long as it’s not falling apart, regardless of age.

    What is the thing you chain timber up front called? It's not dunnage. It's I can't remeber.

    I was told not to use cracked pieces for coil beds but had a feeling it wasn't such a big deal on pipe loads etc. Thanks for the input, gentlemen.

    I was going to tease you about spending money on that but then I thought about my own purchases of new corner protectors, a dozen+ truck straps, 50 bungees in a box, strap winder, etc

    Ha! Funny you mention corner protectors because I'm sitting here right now trying to figure out how I'm going to cinch down a load of insulation panels I'm picking up Monday morning without cracking the top layer. Normally, I wouldn't be so concerned because at job site deliveries they don't care but this shipment is heading to a distributor so I have a feeling they will certainly care.

    2 out of 3 insulated panels distributors will supply the cardboard ones.... in my experience, anyway.

    I used my own 7" small ones last time I loaded there and didn't see any other shipper supplied options. Maybe I didn't look close enough.

    That foam insulation cracks and dents if you strap too hard. You can make quick v-boards out of wood, roofing nails, and strap pieces.

    Also if you strap on top of the tarps, it provides a little more protection of the product. Don’t over tighten.

    Don’t buy 4x4s. But do buy a set of plastic 12” vee-boards.
