Moving is a stressful event. Use some of these moving tips to help reduce the risk of damages during your move: - Use professional furniture pads (moving blankets) to wrap your furniture items in. Most moving labor companies sell these or you can also rent these from most rental truck agencies as well. The exact amount of furniture pads needed varies based on the items that are needing moved, but in general about 2 to 3 dozen pads for a middle size rental truck and 3 to 4 dozen for a 26ft rental truck. If the pads are smaller than 72" x 80", you will probably need to add a couple dozen more pads.  - Use tie-downs such as ratchet tie-down straps to help secure items within the rental truck, trailer or portable storage container. This will help avoid the chance of your items shifting while in transit to your destination. Ratchets are the preferred tie-down mechanism, but sometimes rope can be used as well (just not quite as sturdy).  - Use mattress bags for mattresses to help avoid rips, moisture and dust from getting on your mattress. - Dis-assemble bed frames, desks, tables, exercise equipment, etc. and wrap these items individually in furniture pads. The disassembly will help reduce the risk of damages and also provide more space in the moving truck for loading as it can be difficult to stack on certain awkward items.
