I purchased a log cabin 2 years ago as a home office and it's been
great (cost around £2,500). We are looking to move house and wondered
if anyone had any experience of de-constructing these and moving them.
The construction of the walls seems pretty straight forward, just
interlocking at the corners but I suspect the roof could be the issue,

anyone done this before, would be a real shame to have to bin it and
buy a new one after only 2 years.


==================================
Depending on size (especially width) you might be able to get it moved in
one piece by a specialist caravan / mobile home carrier. If you're
doubtful take a look at 'Mega Movers' on TV to see what can be achieved.
Things might be on a different scale here but the idea is the same.

I remember one arriving at our house years ago on a fork lift
tractor...driven all across the village. My father 'bought it off a
bloke down the pub'

It lasted years..
