In discussing having my 9' Gold Crown III moved with the move of my entire house hold (1400 miles. KC to central NY state), the moving company said they require the slates to be crated. There are a couple of topics about crating but no pics. I was going to crate each of the three pieces individually.

1) Build the frames out of 2x4 or 1x3 1x4?
2) used lumber on the top and bottom of the frame or plywood? 1x4 or 2x4 if not using plywood?
3) Slates with backing look like they are about 1.75" thick so what do you use to fill the gap on top and bottom if using 2x4s for the frame?

An example pic of a crate would be greatly appreciated.

Its not too much extra money to include the table with the rest of the furniture so it would be great to have my table at the next place.

This is a common crate design, used by many moving companies.

I'm curious where in CNY you are moving to. We cover a 3 hour radius from 13092. That covers most of the state.

Hey Brad. Sorry, I did not get a notification from AZB that there was a reply. I am moving to Utica. And thanks for the crate pictures. This makes sense. The mover works with a third party to crate the slates and disassemble, so I'm just letting them do it. I'm worried they won't be careful with the cloth as it is brand new and I would like to reuse it. I don't have any names for folks that can set it up in utica. So I will definitely check you out. Looks like you are 1hr and 43mins away by the gorgeous finger lakes region. ;)

We are in Utica quite frequently.
If you would like to proceed with our services, just be aware that we are typically booking 4-6 weeks out.
