How A Wood Countertop Is Shipped

April 12, 2019 More in Wood Countertops 101

We get asked all the time how we ship our wood countertops across the country without damage so we thought it would be a good idea to show the process.

The framework of a wood countertop shipping pallet — First we make the pallet using 2x4's.

The completed shipping pallet

The flooring of a J. Aaron shipping pallet — We then add a protective layer of CDX board to ensure forklift drivers don't accidentally stab the bottom.

Wood countertop resting on its shipping pallet — After adding a layer of 1/2" foam board strips to the top of the CDX board we set the wood countertop in place.

The wood countertop is packaged and protected for its trip — A wood frame work is added around the top along with protective foam before the lid is closed.

Fully crated and ready to ship wood countertop — A CDX wood top is added and steel strapped down. It's a very durable and cost effective way of creating our wood tops.

On top of doing a good job packaging the wood top all of our tops ship with 3rd party insurance so they are fully protected during their voyage.
