Default How heavy is a wooden shed?

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.



Don't forget that a SMALL dead area behind is very useful for future access
to the thing, for example painting it, replacing roof felt, etc. etc. I
wouldn't put it RIGHT up against the wall!

Good luck.

Simon.


Seconded. I have a shed and greenhouse with the ridges parallel and
parallel to a fence. An example of my bad design - 12 inches between
shed roof and fence and 9 inches between shed toof and greenhouse roof
on the other side. Efficient use of space but I will have to thake the
roof panels off the shed to re-felt them :-( - I am waiting for a visit
from my son to help :-)
