The April sun is starting to peek through, and if you’re like most people in Dublin, your mind is turning to the garden. Whether you’ve just spotted the perfect rattan furniture set at a garden center in Glenageary or found a bargain BBQ on DoneDeal, there’s just one problem: How do you get it home?
Large outdoor items like trampolines, garden sheds, and 6-seater dining sets are notorious for being “car-killers.” Instead of risking your upholstery (or your suspension), a professional man with a van is the smartest way to get your garden summer-ready.
Why Store Delivery Isn’t Always the Best Option
Many big-box retailers and garden centers in Dublin and Kildare have delivery backlogs that can last weeks. If you buy a patio set today, you want to use it this weekend, not next month!
By using VanQuotes.ie, you can:
Get Same-Day Service: Often, our drivers can pick up your purchase within hours of you hitting the checkout.
Save on Delivery Fees: Store-to-door flat rates can be expensive. With us, local drivers bid for your job, keeping the price competitive.
Avoid the “Flatpack” Headache: Need help getting that heavy shed box into the back garden? Our drivers can provide an extra pair of hands that standard courier services won’t.
Bulky Items We’re Moving This April
It’s peak season for outdoor logistics. Currently, our most requested “Garden Quotes” in Ireland include:
Trampolines: Huge boxes that require a high-roof van.
Garden Sheds: Usually 2-3 very long, heavy flat-pack boxes.
Paving & Decking: Heavy materials from providers like Chadwicks or Goodmans.
Egg Chairs & Daybeds: Bulky, awkward shapes that need careful strapping.
No Need to Worry About Van Insurance
A common question for DIY movers is: “Do I need special insurance to rent a van for a day?” The short answer is: Not with us.
When you book a quote through VanQuotes.ie, you are hiring a professional driver and their vehicle together. You don’t need to deal with the paperwork, high deposits, or the stress of temporary van insurance. Our drivers are fully covered with their own commercial and goods-in-transit insurance, meaning your new garden investment is protected from the moment it leaves the shop until it’s on your patio.

Garden Logistics FAQ
Can you collect items from IKEA Ballymun or JYSK? Absolutely. We specialize in store-to-door collections. Just give the driver your order number or meeting time.
Do you move plants or trees? Yes, though we recommend ensuring they are potted or bagged. Our drivers use straps to keep them upright so you don’t end up with a van full of soil!
What if the item is second-hand? No problem. Many of our April jobs are Adverts.ie or Facebook Marketplace pickups where the buyer doesn’t have a way to transport a used garden bench or shed.
