DIY Home Moving Guide: How To
Package, Lift & Transport Your
Heavy Sofa
A DIY move is not the time to be flexing your muscles. Just because
you frequent the gym regularly does not mean you can carry your sofa
down three flights of stairs one-handed.
I can assure you that any
attempt to do so will spell
disaster: I'm talking pulled
back muscles, sprained wrists,
ripped carpets, and scratched
walls.
Moving a sofa may seem like a
simple task but it is often more
challenging than you think.
Before you cause any serious
damage, check out these tips
from Movers.com.
The guide recommends
detaching any removal
components, such as legs,
cushions and armrests, to
make the moving process
easier.
Disassembling your
couch ensures it is
compact enough to fit
through doorways and
hallways, explains the
guide.
It might be a good idea to rent a furniture dolly
designed to transport heavy items quickly and easily,
says Movers.com.
Another step of the preparation process is to pack and
secure your couch with bubble wrap, moving blankets
and packing tape.
