If you want to move a metal shed, go for it!

The shed I'm assembling today takes two people just to lift one of
the wall sections and that is a bit of a struggle.
Oh, willy waving is it?

Nah. That would be the next shed. This one is only for storing low
value stuff. The next one is more like a small industrial building,
with a steel security door.

My barn framing will be 15'x6' in Oak. 8off! I am considering calling
for volunteers from the group for an American style *barn raising*:-)
Hopefully they can all be positioned with the fork lift.

The volunteers?

Would they be sufficiently sober to remain where put?

Actually I have a cunning plan to fit temporary bracing such that the
load can be lifted using inverted forks under the middle of the top
plate. Otherwise the fork mounting frame will make serious holes in the
roof.

Hire one with a mast that only starts to rise when the forks reach the
top of the closed mast? I had to buy one with that feature to work
inside a building.

The estimated weight of each section is about 250kg so not beyond half a
rugby team.

I know, from experience, that 10 people are enough to lift an original
model Mini, so you are probably right.
