In this video, I’m sharing 6 Safe Options to Haul Wood When all You Own is a Car.

I’m going to cover some safer methods for hauling wood with your car and some other alternatives as well. I’m also going to highlight the most dangerous, yet most common, way I’ve seen people haul wood and why you should avoid it.

If you want to see the tools, gear and set up I use to get seven sheets of plywood in my Toyota Prius, then stick around or skip to the end of the video to find out.

I’ve been a woodworker for several years now and have owned my Toyota Prius for almost a year. There are certainly some challenges to this combination, but I’ve figured out some good storage techniques to maximize space in my car to haul a good bit of project materials. So if you’re limited by your transport capacity, don’t let that stop you from building the projects you want for you home or customers.
