Hi guys , My mrs has saw 2 lovely garden sets both are called hardwood?

Please see the links ?

Hardwood Round Gazebo And Table

Sarasota Patio Set, Curved Benches, Parasol Etc

Both of which arent chaep but we are worried we wont get them through customs when we move?
I know some might say wait till we are over there buts its a good 12month average wait for our visas and we need them now tbh!
I dont want to pay fro them now and find out we cant ship :(

Please Help

As long as they are treated you MAY be ok but i personally would not risk it as its very expensive to have them say no...then destroy them all at your cost....

It's unlikely, buying them new, that you wouldn't get them in. Your container would simply be sprayed. Most often, they destroy things if the origin is dubious. I have antiques I plan to bring in at some point and I worked with someone who used to work in customs - he said they'd just spray them.

p.s. do you really need a hamster wheel picnic table LOL!

Don't know about whether you could get it through but if you could that Hardwood round gazebo table is beautiful. I've not seen anything like that here.

Not buying the Hampster wheel :) Didnt realise it looked like that Lol
As looks to flimsy but really dont know whether to buy the Round table as looks lovely and i have been told that they Dont sell that style over there!

So confused as it will be 12 months + old before it gets in my container.
On another note i have a gazebo over my hot tub will i have to leave them?!?!?
