How To Lift Furniture Over Balcony?

Hello Aryan. I would be able to share how to lift a sofa over a balcony. The process is a bit tricky, so you will have to understand the steps well. Also, it is important that you get at least a couple of people with you for this task. You will need protective material to cover the couch and then use ropes to lift it over the balcony. 

How to Lift a Couch Over a Balcony?

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Remove all the cushions, covers and pillows from the couch. 

2. If possible, remove all the detachable parts of the couch to make it easier to lift and move.

3. Use old blankets or furniture pads to wrap around the couch. Use thick and soft coverings only to ensure proper protection. Tape them in place and secure the wrappings with stretch wrap. 

4. If your balcony has wooden or metal railings, wrap them in blankets or any thick and soft protective covering. This is important to avoid damage to the couch. 

5. Once you are done wrapping the couch in protective coverings, use durable stripes and ensure they fasten securely around the couch and hold it from all sides. 

6. Form loops within the straps at both ends of the furniture or at its four top corners. These loops will be used to attach ropes for pulling the couch. 

7. Create a loop at the bottom of the piece too so you can keep it away from the wall while hoisting it. 

8. Make tight knots so they don’t get undone while moving. The ropes will help to lift the furniture and guide it during the process. 

9. Ensure that it each rope is at least twice as long as the height from the ground to the balcony with a few extra feet to allow for easier handling. Pass the ropes through the loops.

This is all you need to do. I hope this helps.
