Does anyone know how much the 3'x2' flags weigh?

They're the 2" types, not the Council 3". I know the term 'flag' really belongs to ones cut from Stone, but up here in Yorkshire any type is referred to as a 'flag'

I've got 50 after having the garage & drive done & need to organise transport to a work collegue, thus need to work out the weight

If one's too heavy for the scales break it in half and multiply it by 100.

sorry.

Well my mates being collecting the first 20 today. 10 a time in a VW Golf van :D
Boy!, did the rear end sit down :D  :lol:  :lol:

I suppose I could use my Ifor-Williams & help him out?
But the deal was they're free of charge if he removes.

Decisions, decisions??

Do I scratch the inside of the P6e, or get some 'folding' off him??

I laid a sheet of exterior ply in the bottom of mine and painted it with that waxy fence paint.  Of course it came straight off when we were tipping the crusher-run out of it but that's what it was for.  An 8'x4' sheet is £10 in Wickes.

Got rid of the other 40 this afternoon. I acquired a pallet & dis-membered it, just to really give us something to get our fingers under for the last two.
5 in the Golf - 15 in the P6e, with 2 runs to his barn conversion (very nice :) )

He said the Golf was making some weird cracking noises on the way home, wonder how long before it falls apart (be able to bury it in his paddock (or copse)

Still no idea how much weight we stuck in.

My Sankey came complete with a purpose made latice floor, I'm sure there's a name for them  :?:

Although not being a wide track with no drop down tail gate, I would not of liked loading all those flags into the back  :shock:

If yours is the original Sankey amunition trailer it should be watertight, so the duckboard is neccesary when it rains to stop your stuff drowning.  Apparently the trailer was designed to float in emergencies! or so I'm told.
