Lifting devise is made and sold by PGPGA. Go to web site for accurate data and cost. It is about $100.00. Ships heavy so may be a tad more since the last shipping rate changes. It's design has been tweaked by the Pennsylvania guys to what I consider a very good and safe lifting devise.
...I bought one a year ago....because someone told me what I have just told you.

Scott,
The PGPGA lifter has worked well for me, enabling me to load them all by myself. My pumpkins are getting to the point though, when the straps could have been a little longer!

Hey, thanks everyone!! I was wondering how we were going to accomplish moving this thing when (if) the time comes. Has anyone purchased and successfully grown any of the seeds that pandpseed offers?
Thanks,
Michelle

Mark,

If you buy a lifting ring, I doubt you'll ever use the tarp! You can make a makeshift tarp out of old carpeting, it's strong stuff!

Got a tarp and never use it anymore!
