So this question is probably geared more towards the XL, but once your table is built, how the heck you get that monster up and in there?

I used the back door.My wife and I couldn't lift the egg 35" high without collateral damage to the table or egg.Here's the pic.

Jersey, I have never done it with an XL, but every time I put my egg in & out of my table, I would remove the dome & take out as many parts as you can from the inside of the egg, the bottom itself is much more manageable, & it is easier to grab around the rim & slowly lower into and take out of the table. I would imagine you could do the same with the XL, maybe with two people. Others have used the giant plant moving straps (don't know what they are called).happy in the hut

I use a large ratchet strap just under the lower lip of the egg. Don't over tighten and place the ratchet just under the handle. Use the ratchet like a handle to lift with and a buddy can lift from the back side where the hinge is. Works great for me to lift my large in and out.
