It's about 5' in diameter, the roll is approximately 8" high. The weight is a guess, maybe 40lbs. It was delivered freight because of the unusual size, not weight. It should fit in most pickup trucks and I would assume a minivan if at an angle.

I also am interested

Hey Loren_Yarbrough

I am in Central Fl if you want to split the roll I would meet you.

That may work  as I would only need 50' of the roll

I'm using this same tubing for my arches this year.  I too ordered it from McMaster-Carr.  I asked for a quote for shipping purposes, which came back at $8.  I thought why not for that price.  Imagine my surprise when I see the actual invoice of $76 for shipping alone!  And I only ordered 30 feet of the tubing and it was coiled up about 6' in diameter for me.

I got hold of McMaster today, and they told me $18.00 to ship 2 25' pieces and 4 10' pieces. I questioned she on the amount and asked her to give me a firm amount on Monday  before they ship.   we shall see.

Hi  Phrog30,

Thanks for the size info.

I have a relative that lives on lake martin, if I can't work a deal out with McMaster then I may have my relative step in if you still have it and come pick it up.

If you have that $18 dollars in writing, then they should honor it.  In the end I paid $10 for shipping since I questioned the charges after they told me one amount and charged me another.

Weird on the shipping. The invoice for shipping always comes after the purchase.  It took a few days to get a shipping invoice. Several others have had the save experience. It's quite different when it's freight vs parcel.

Yes, this was my experience too.

Sure, just let me know.

Absolutely love lake Martin, one of the best lakes around.
