Suggestions for a telescope case

I am not too fussed with transporting my telescope in a an old sleeping bag,..Can anyone suggest some options for storing and transporting my OTAs-the telescope with foam end piece supports is 105 cm long and the foam end pieces are approximately 45 cmx45 cm? I'd like to keep the foam pieces if possible

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

I rang Howards Storage and they say the largest plastic storage box they or anyone else sells is 85 cm long.

I could make a plywood or MDF case myself I suppose but it will become so heavy it won't be a one person job to move.

How do you store and transport your scope?

(i have been advised not to leave the OTA on the mount but dismantle after each session to avoid unnecessary forces on the gears)
