Moving heavy items is definitely not
an easy job; but if you learn a few tips beforehand, it won’t be as
difficult as you think. If heavy and cumbersome items are to be
protected during transit, they will need to be properly packed. Here are
three tips that will help you pack heavy furniture successfully.
1. Disassemble
Bookshelves, bed frames, tables, etc.
should all be taken apart. Disassembled furniture will be easier to pick
up and load into the truck. All contents should be removed from all the
drawers, and cabinet doors should be tied together with rope.
2. Use Blankets
Always use blankets to cover and wrap the
furniture. Once the furniture is wrapped, tape the blankets so that
they are secure. If you want to use shrink wrap, it is best to wrap the
furniture first in blankets, and then add the shrink wrap. The reason
for wrapping first with blankets is to avoid the plastic coming in
contact with the wood or fabric of the furniture. This could cause
mildew from condensation due to high temperatures in the moving truck.
3. Protect with Bubble Wrap
Always wrap any type of glass with
packing paper, and then add a protective layer of bubble wrap. Be
certain that the bubble wrap does not come in direct contact with the
glass surface because the air pockets might leave behind impressions.
If these simple steps are followed, your
furniture will be protected and will not likely sustain damage. Please
