Hi,
We need a new shed but we are planning on a new patio and drive way next year and the whole garden will need digging up.
Can anybody tell me how easy it is to move a shed around and work around it or would it have to be dismantled and then rebuilt?
Likely to be 7ft by 5ft shed, thanks.
 
What's it going to be made of, wood, plastic, sheet steel?
Plastic is the lightest but can also become brittle after exposure to UV rays.
If you place it on a couple of bearers, (2" x 2" or similar), you can get a couple of mates round when it's time and just lift and carry it, (making sure it's empty first!).
 
Why not get the shed after the work is done and make life simpler for yourself.
 
Ideally I would but costs won’t allow me to do it at the moment so it’s a case of needs must
 
Timber sheds are unbelievably heavy and tend to distort big time when moved.
Consider something similar to scaffold tube rollers and a team of 4 strong guys to minimise damage.

A few years ago a customer needed to move their shed.

She asked some builders working next door. A crew of 4 used scaffold poles to lift and move it.
 
There's been a few threads on here about it, there's also a couple of youtube vids.

moving shed

hello all, i had my shed delivered and built last july, it arrived before i had extra concrete base done, as i want it nearer the wall, the lads that delivered and built it said it will be easy to move once i had the extre cementing done, they only said it would be easy to move empty, so now...

Did they play rugby league in their spare time? :unsure:
 
Moved a wooden garden shed a couple times across gardens on a boat trailor.
