Engineering advice to move large furniture item
I hope this is the right sub for this. But I recently moved to a second story apartment and the walkway out front is not wide enough to get our couch through the doorway. We have a back patio about 12-15 feet from the ground below. The couch is about 8 feet long and 2.5 feet wide.
We’re trying to devise a plan to lift the couch up and on to our balcony from below.
We’ve discussed attaching ropes and pulling it up, and using a ladder as a ramp to pull the couch up on using ropes.
I don’t know any engineers or people who could solve this problem.
I’m open to all suggestions!
Also, we have already called all moving people in the area and they all either said no or quoted us more than the couch is worth.
And the couch cannot be taken apart and reassembled we have checked that as well.
