I've got a door that I need to ship. Greyhound has been mentioned as an inexpensive means to get it from Ccincinnati. How should I box this thing? It's still has the glass in it. Door handles and locking mechanisms have been removed.
Would it be enough if I taped a couple of layers of corugated cardboard to the outside? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Rick |

At the local hadware store, in the plumbing section they have some nice dense foam that is used to cover hot water pipes (in my region at least). 4 foot goes for something like 25cents. I'd use it especially on the edges and maybe wrap a couple of them around the door.
I'd box the door in an initial box with packing material and afterwards, pack this box in another box and inch or 2 bigger that the first one with again some packing material). I usually box my stuff from boxes coming from a furniture store (i get there around 4pm when the trucks come back with all the boxes). I especially like the cardboard corner they use in boxes for big apliances. I usually use this in the second box to secure the first one. Marc-André |
