The short answer
Garden furniture is bulky, often part-assembled and usually behind a side gate rather than a front door. PORTR prices collection and delivery online from the items, the route and the access, including the carry distance from the van to the garden.
What makes garden furniture awkward to move?
Volume without weight, combined with access that was never designed for moving anything. A corner sofa set fills a large van while barely troubling the payload, and it usually has to travel through a side gate rather than a doorway.
Cushions are the hidden bulk. A set that looks compact once stacked doubles in volume when the cushions go in the van, and they need to stay dry.
How should you prepare it?
Bag the cushions in polythene or heavy-duty bags, remove and wrap glass tops, and fold anything that folds. Group small items such as footstools and side tables so they can be carried together.
Clear the route from the garden to the road and unlock gates before the driver arrives. Empty planters of soil where you can, because wet soil is heavy and it spills.
How is it priced?
From the vehicle the set requires, the real driving distance, the handling time and the access at both ends including the carry from the van to the garden.
Adding every piece to the item list matters here more than in most categories, because garden sets are consistently underestimated and an undersized van means a second trip.
