Plants

Moving for plant lovers is quite a disaster. Plants are often big, heavy and sensitive to temperature changes. Of course, you do not want to kill your precious plants during the move!

Fish tank

Artwork

The artwork is expensive and often has sentimental value, so it’s important to properly protect it during the move. If you have to move a painting or other artwork that is in the frame, you have to use paper or bubble wrap to protect it. Once you wrap the artwork, tape cardboard pieces and place it around the frame. It gives extra protection. Make sure that artwork doesn’t move by placing pillows or other items into the same box too.

Other types of artwork need lots of bubble wrap. Do not save it. Wrapped artwork put into the box. Make sure that it is a proper size box and the artwork fits there perfectly. The box should also have reinforced bottom. Secure the top of the box with the tape too.

Packing peanuts help to secure both types of artwork too. However, filling the box is not enough. You have to mark boxes with visible sign “fragile” and inform your movers to be careful.

Choosing professional moving company ensures that these four difficult to move items are transferred to your new home without damage. However, if you decide to do it yourself, we wish you good luck!
