Luckily, there are several ways to work around the wet weather keeping your spirit high and belongings dry.

Placing the items in the box isn’t as simple as you think it to be. Especially in the wet weather! Wrapping items, with the plastic wraps or garbage bag over the items will work as a shield against the rain. A trap or some sheets over the large items could play the trick. It will be risky to handle large items, as they become slippery upon being wet and need something stable to hold onto.

When moving house in wet weather, packing boxes made of cardboard could be an issue. The soggy nature of the boxes will provide less security to the belongings. Though cardboard is tough, the boxes could survive rain as long as it is packed securely. And this is why Investing on a professional furniture removalist makes a difference.
