I don't recall how long but about 7 feet

Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:306980}}

We picked ours up at the store in my husband's pickup. Our box came in a metal cage just like gardenerwantabe's, in the photo above. (I think rginga just picked hers up, and it didn't come in a metal cage.) I no longer have the cardboard box, but the metal cage measures 8'2" by 2'2" by 1'2". It weighed about 200 pounds.

When I picked up my last one it had no cage.

yep, MUD I got jipped...I know I could have come up with MANY cool ideas for use of that metal cage...I still have mine in the box so here are the measurements. And 200 lbs is about right. I used my CRV and it hung out with the window part of my rear end left up.

Box is 8 ft long, 25 in wide and 13 inches deep. did I mention NO CAGE :(

Thanks for your replies everyone. I hope to get mine soon and I hope I get the metal cage too! Lots of things you could do with that. Thanks again, this is a great forum.
