I want to move the old shed in my garden.

It is a 8x6 wooden apex job.

Assuming i remove all the crap from inside it first, roughly how heavy
is it going to be?
If I get a few mates round could 4 of us lift it 10 ft or so by hand?

Whatever previous owner put it in the garden located it really far
away from the wall, leaving me a large dead area behind it which i
want to eliminate.


Me and a few mates moved a very heavy old chicken house, made of timber
and corrugated iron by inserting scaffold poles under it and dragging it
40 yards down the track. I think you could probably pick up an 8' x 6'
shed and walk around with it if you had someone on each corner and it
was structurally rigid. How about bolting two 12' pieces of graded 4" x
2" to each side as temporary carrying handles? Or devise a complicated
system of rollers...
