How would I accomplish that?

Depends on how it is made, how it is anchored, how high it is, what
equipment you have or can get. You can get a house mover to do it,
simple job for them.

Need much more information and photos would help.


Ed is right, most important might be how is it fastened to the ground
now? If this is 4x4s sitting in post anchors on top of concrete
footers it might not be that tough other than the physical moving
itself. If the posts are in the ground you have more problems and you
may actually be cutting them off, setting piers with anchors and
putting it back that way. Hope you are good at measuring ;-)
