Furniture can be expensive, and it is important to properly protect your items so they don’t get ruined during a move. Proper furniture packaging will help prevent any damage to your belongings. Here are a few packing and moving tips to safeguard your items before you relocate. 

How to Protect Your Furniture Before Moving

1. Disassemble 

Furniture PackagingDisassembling items will make them easier to move, which reduces the chances that they might get dropped or catch on walls and doorways. Remove glass panes when possible to avoid breakage. Items that have glass that isn’t removable should be securely fastened or taped in place to avoid movement during transit.

Take pictures of your furniture before disassembling pieces to help with reassembly later. Be sure to keep any screws and bolts together in a plastic bag so you can find them easily.

2. Cover Items

You can purchase moving blankets to cover any items you want to avoid getting scratched, such as wooden tables and couches with upholstery. Secure any blankets with packing tape to ensure they stay in place. Cardboard sheets are helpful for protecting glass and television screens. 

3. Use Moving Equipment

Use dollies and moving straps to avoid dropping or damaging heavier furniture. You can also use a furniture glider to avoid damage to your flooring. Have someone assist you with moving larger objects that obstruct your view while loading. You should also use ramps to make it easier to load larger objects onto a truck or vehicle.
