Flexform outdoor furniture in New York
This is the city we work from, and it is the hardest one to deliver into. A Flexform sectional that walks into a Hamptons house through a double door has to be hoisted eleven floors in Manhattan, and that is part of the quote from the start.
Roof terraces and setbacks
Most New York outdoor furniture goes on a setback or a roof, which means three constraints at once: a weight limit, a wind load, and a way up that is usually a service lift. Flexform outdoor pieces are solid iroko and marine plywood, so they are heavy for their size and they do not blow away.
Measure the service lift before anything else. A three seat sofa element is the piece that fails to fit, and it is cheaper to order two smaller elements than to pay for a crane.
What a building will ask for
- A certificate of insuranceNaming the building and the managing agent. The freight company issues it, we request it.
- A delivery windowMost buildings allow weekday mornings only. The window sets the date, not the production slot.
- ProtectionMasonite on the lobby floor and pads in the lift. Standard for the carriers we use.
- Waste removalCrating for an imported sofa is substantial. Agree in advance who carries it out.
Season
New York outdoor furniture lives outside from April to October and wants covering for the rest. Flexform sells a weather cover for most outdoor pieces and recommends it in its own specifications. Order it with the furniture, not the following spring.
