moving greenhouse hoops

does anyone have experience with moving greenhouse hoops? I just bought some used greenhouse hoops 18 feet wide by about 9 feet tall once piece tubes. My brother has a half tun but I dont think there is anyway i could possibly fasten them on there i need to move them about 10 miles. Theres a local guy with a flatbed that can do it but probably will cost quite a bit. so just wondering how you all do it?
thanks
Rick

I'd try to find a 14-16 ft utility trailer with high sides so you can stand them up in a bundle and strap them to the sides.

Anything over 8 ft is a "wide load" so even on a flatbed you'd need to stand them up at least partway

You can get them in a long bed 1/2 ton P/U by doing what 7thSwan suggests. Tie them to the front and rear bumper and to each corner of the P/U bed. They will wobble around, but if you have them tied in good, they should ride for the distance you are going.
