Going to rent a 22' Penske truck for my move. What type rope (braided poly or cotton etc), size (diameter), Strength (28,64 lbs) and how much will I need for tie downs?
Truck will not be completely full, most of our boxes have already gone to the new home 600 miles away. Moving a master bdrm, living room and dining room, garage, lots of plants, grill, mower.
I got a roll of stretch wrap to use on wood furniture to keep drawers and doors shut and protect the finish. Cover with a sheet or padding and wrap. $15 for a 1500' roll.
We also like to use poly strapping to tie things down. It's almost impossible to break, comes in a 1500' roll and can be used later for anything from a clothesline to staking out trees. Great stuff.
I'm partial to ratchet straps. I always find a use for them, lose them, loan them out (never to be seen again), etc. You can always sell them, too.
