Of course, when the shed was built the location that it is in made
perfect sense. Now, my wife and I are comtemplating some structural
changes to our house and the addition would take advantage of the
space where the shed currently sits.
I'm probably going to have to dismantle the shed - which was stick
built on site - and try to rebuild it reusing as much if the original
materials as possible.
But, everyone in here always has such a wide range of opinions - from
highly useful to smart-alecky and hilarious.
So, for the group - If I wanted to try and move this shed, what would
my options and some suggestions be? Would it be feasible to rent a
fork lift? Can I screw on enough casters to roll it around? Winch it
up onto a flat bed wrecker?
well, how was it built? you could probably just put it on some pvc pipes and
push it around the yard. get some local kids to keep moving the rollers from
the back to the front. if it was good enough for the egyptians to move the
stones for the pyramids, it'll move your shed. of course, the shed would
have to have been built to stay in one piece. if not, perhaps you can take
it apart and move each wall seperately, then put it back together.

I'm pretty sure that the PVC pipes would crush instantly.

If I could borrow some thick enough metal/steel/iron pipes that might
be an idea....

You still haven't described the construction of the floor. Thats 99% of
figuring out if and how it can be moved.

PVC won't crush because the weight is distributed. My cousin had a large
prefab shed business and they often needed to move them into final
position using that method. If you don't want to tinker with it you
could likely pay someone like him a nominal charge to do it when in your
neighborhood.
