Default Want to move Carport

Some years ago I built a free standing carport at the rear of my house.
It's a hefty thing - 24 ft long x 10 ft wide. The frame is built using
wood - 4x4in uprights (10), 5x2in cross members (5) and 3x2in (6) 24 ft

long
supports for the plastic coated steel sheeted roof!! Two sides are also
sheeted. The legs have Metpost bolt-down fixings on 18in square concrete
bases.

I want to move it LOL!!! Yes, I'm serious ............. Now my brain

tells
me it will have to be dismantled, but before I take it apart has anyone

got
any ideas how I could move it intact, or even partially intact? I want to
move it sideways approx 10 feet.


You could try getting nine friends round on the pretext of giving them beer
and take a leg each. You could fix handles to each leg first and unbolt the
fixings
