The Ultimate Guide to Moving Garden Furniture and Features

After cultivating the romantic garden of your dreams, the thought of moving your furniture to a new location can be daunting. Without a full knowledge of how to safely move your favourite outdoor pieces, you can run the risk of arriving in your new home to find broken furniture. In this guide from Rose Removals, we’ll provide you with some tips for getting your garden features safely moved in.



Keep It Clean

Before packing up your favourite garden furniture, it can be worth giving it a good scrub. Dirty furniture can create a mess, as well as making it difficult to grip when lifting. By giving your furniture a wash and a rinse, you can ensure it can be safely lifted, as well as being spotless when arriving in your new garden.

Use The Right Supplies

Securing items that are designed to move, such as swinging chairs, is a good way to prevent damage to the item itself as well as damage to the furniture surrounding it. When doing so, it’s essential to use the right equipment to ensure that the furniture won’t break free. Utilise tools like cords and straps, which can help keep the furniture where it should be.

Break It Down

While not always possible, it can be useful to break down furniture before a big move. Some items can be unscrewed, making them smaller and therefore easier to transport safely. Wooden arches, for example, can usually be broken down into their main components. Remember to secure any loose screws so your items can be reassembled once you have reached your new home.

Secure The Plants

After spending precious hours cultivating, growing and weeding, the last thing you want to do is let your plants get damaged during a move. Securing your plants is therefore key, using packaging supplies like bubble wrap to protect delicate flowers and leaves from damage. You should also water your plants the night before a move, keeping the soil moist enough that spilling becomes less likely.

Hire A Removal Company

One of the most effective ways to ensure your garden furniture reaches its destinations safely is by hiring a removal company. The professionals will use their expertise and experience to load your belongings carefully and securely into their transport vehicle, preventing breakages along the way. By hiring the experts, you reduce the risk of physically straining yourself from heavy lifting too, ensuring you can comfortably enjoy your new garden, pain-free.
