The key parameter was that the designed product had to be mountable within a 2-inch trailer hitch.  

Short-glass fiber (SGF), which is chopped into lengths of less than one-half inch, improves stiffness and impact strength and reduces shrink. Long-glass fiber (LGF), which can be longer than one-half inch, can be tougher and more impact resistant (especially in cold temperatures) and have more tensile strength (ability to stretch without breaking) than a comparable SGF composite. Use an extruder feed throat that is 2 feet 6 inches long or longer to avoid bridging, and use general purpose metering screws (not mixing screws) with deep flights.
