[QUOTE="KingofThings, post: 137697, member: 468"]I agree with Greg about standing up. You don't say how big it is. You don't say if it's you transporting but I assume. Tape glass yes as yes it is delicate and it may have been cut roughly and even have small edge cracks or hidden areas prone to crack if abused. You must restrain the frame so it doesn't bounce apart on the road from it's own weight of glass and all. Don't forget that there are clownfarts out there driving who, only because they were breathing and had money, were given a license to 'drive'. :p You may have to duck and avoid them. :( Wrap the edges in Styrofoam, or heavy towels/blankets, and loosely bind it with straps not rope. You want wide flat areas to spread support not small round ones. Bungies could work too but hard to adjust for applied pressure and they aren't flat. If it's large then 2 straps per the two directions. ~ Note it's always better to do too much than to wish you did later. :)[/QUOTE]
