Packing your outdoor itemsBy Julie DeLong, A-1 Freeman Moving Group 

If you are planning for a move, it's only natural to consider every item inside your residence which will need to be moved to your new house. Having said that, a lot of people have several items, such as grills and patio furniture, outdoors that can't be forgotten. Preparing along with packing out of doors belongings for the move may be like packing a lot of your indoor household furniture, however just as with almost all home belongings, you will need to take special care to do the job right. Otherwise, you may get to your new house having damaged household furniture along with a dented-up grill.
 

Deep Cleaning

Before packing a single cushion, perform some detailed cleaning of the patio and garden furniture as well as grill. When they aren’t thoroughly clean for the move, you may end up with dirt and grime on a variety of other things that ride next to them within the moving van. Spray all areas of the patio and garden furniture down utilizing cleaner, wipe clean and rinse off with water. Be positive and get all the crevices and cracks on the furniture. With regard to the grill, take out the soot as well as ashes from the inside and clean the grease or ash catcher. Additionally, consult the owners manual to find out if there's a advised cleaning product for the outside and inside of the grill as well as find out if they have additional ideas for cleaning.

Packing

After you have washed your furniture as well as grill, you'll be ready to pack it up for your move. Remove pillows and cushions from the outdoor furniture and put them to one side. Disassemble whatever furniture items which can be easily disassembled and make certain to keep track of all the hardware in a plastic bag or box which you can label and affix to the frame. Wrap the furniture pieces in moving blankets and make sure to protect all the sides with the pads. When they're safely covered, secure the pads with tape to avoid damage. Be certain any throw pillows and also cushions are completely dried before packing them within cartons. Label the cartons for quick recognition at your new residence.

Remove grates, trays and also smaller parts from the grill and thoroughly cover them in packing paper and put them in boxes. You’ll want to take out the propane tank from the grill. Determine with your moving company in El Paso whether they can transport the tank on the moving truck. You will likely need to haul it yourself or leave it behind and buy a new tank soon after arriving to your new house, as a general rule professional movers in El Paso won't move anything flammable or combustible. Cover the grill in moving blankets and secure with tape for safe moving.
