I know it’s overkill, but it’s for specific dimensions, so I’m trying to find the simplest solution. I may go for 2x4 for the cross bars, it’s probably fine, and I can double up on them if feel the need for more strength.

The only 8 foot pallets I ever see are made to be lifted from the long end, and they can’t take a jack under the short end. Otherwise, that would be simpler, and I would just need to line something up under the feet to make sure they’re sully supported.

I get that 4x4 might be overkill, but the feet on these machines are 3.5" wide, so I can’t realistically put them on the narrow end of a 2x4. I’m also ok with overkill since I’m shipping 4 machines worth at least 100k each.

I also can’t lift the pallet width-wise since it needs to get through a door that is exactly 8 feet wide. We’ll be moving it slowly with two jacks, or a jack and some kind of dolly for the other end.

I’m not paying for it, so I don’t care about the cost. I’m trying to get the simplest solution. If I do it with 2x4, then I need cross bars under the feet, and I need to attach the bottoms as well, and I need a lot more measuring and cutting to get the job done.

Considering current panels are at about 30% efficient, these new ones would be 30 000% efficient, putting out 300 times more energy than they absorb.

Water when the soil is dry, but before the plant gets droopy. The flies are probably around because it’s too damp and growing mold.
