How to pack outdoor furniture when moving home

When moving home you may possess some outdoor furniture that you’d like to transport with you to your new surroundings. Packing small items is easy, but larger furniture presents more of a challenge. To prevent damage, it helps to know how to pack outdoor furniture.

First, remove any seat cushions or padding. Sun loungers and chairs often have cushions that simply need untying to remove.

Furniture that has been left outside for a while will be dirty. Thoroughly clean each item using a damp cloth and cleaning solution then let it dry before moving.

Large furniture items can often be dismantled. If screws or other fasteners hold the furniture together, put them in a bag for safekeeping and tape the bag to the furniture components so that it does not get lost. Fasten all the parts of a piece of furniture together. Table legs can be fastened with cable ties to prevent them from moving around during transit.

Wooden garden furniture should be wrapped in padding or blankets so that they are not scratched in the moving van.
