Another Dumb Question

I've got one of these "lumber yard built" wood lawn sheds shaped like a little dairy barn...what are they something like 8'X 12'?

Anyway I have to turn it 90 degrees & move this thing about 15 feet. What's the best way to move these things?

Can I just "bump" it around with my loader bucket or will that tear it up?

Thanks,

Allan

If on 4x4s runners nail 2x4s across ends to keep them spaced otherwise on the 90 deg turn you will rip them off the floor studs since they are usually just toe nailed in.

I looked it over with him and told him it would best be moved with rollers and pry bars. Nope, he wanted it done with tractor.

At the appointed time I met him and a few friends there were going to oversee the process. I told him that I did not think it would work, but if he insisted I would push where he told me to, with him assuming all of the liability.

End result, only a few broken boards such as the rim joist and some trim. Oh, that was without the shed being repositioned by the way. Shed was empty too.

He and his buddies used a Sawzall to cut the roof off, set it off by hand, turn the lightened lower portion, then reinstall the roof and trussing system.

Yup, use some fence posts for rollers since you probably already have some of those. Good luck.

I'd jack it up slightly, and roll it on some pipes. Expecially since you're not going very far.

Depending on the "undercarriage" of the building, 3-4 3' pipes under each side may be all you need. Once it's on the rollers, you should be able to push it by hand.

Great!! I'll give it a shot.

Now, to clean the darned thing out first!
