Advice re taking Scaffolding to Australia
Hi Everyone..!
Hope someone can advise us.........? Hubby's a carpenter and we're off (finally!!) to live on the Sunshine Coast this Autumn. Brrr-ing it onnnn!!!
He's wondering about taking his industrial scaffolding with him, which cost over £200, and would come in handy for his work (not to mention cleaning the windows on our new 2 storey house haha!). However, he's worried about it being quarantined on arrival and perhaps causing holdups to our container @ that end.
(Im just wondering how the heck do you thoroughly clean hollow h-shaped metal tubes!!????? spider alert or what??).
The removal Co's havent been much cop on the advice front, so wonder if any of you out there have taken scaffolding and/or had any problems with customs/fumigation..
It'll help us decide whether to get the hosepipe on the blasted things, or to get it sold on good old ebay before we leave....
Thanks guys!
Lynda & Dave

Re: Advice re taking Scaffolding to Australia
Like Pol says it's a new one alright 
To be honest I wouldn't see a problem bringing it in - they're not going to be worried about a few spiders that's for sure. It's organic matter that's a problem so I'd squirt the hose pipe up there, pour some Jeyes fluid down, give it all a squirt with WD40, let it dry thoroughly and it'll be fine. If you're going to need it over here and you have it there, bring it.
