Advice on crating bikes for sea freight
We will be sending three bikes to Buenos Aires by sea freight from London later this year and may build our own crates to save costs.
Materials- thickness of ply for the sides/top, 50x50mm timbers etc?
Use of brick pallets for the base- two fixed together and cut to size if necessary?
Nail or screw fixings etc, etc.
I understand the wood does not require to be treated.
Can you just ride to the shippers warehouse and start building the crates there?
As we have not built crates for our bikes before, any useful info / top tips from your experience would be very helpful.
