Hi,

I want to move slightly a small shed that is in our backyard. It was
installed a little out of square to the property lines by a previous owner.
It is stick built similar to a Home Depot/type kit, floor is about 10'x12'
and it sits on blocks, so it shouldn't be too hard to do. Should I just
prepare another surface next to the blocks and push? It doesn't need to go
far, just about 10" or so.

The building is solid now and fairly square. I want to make sure I don't
lose that squareness when I move it so the doors don't close tightly, etc.

Thanks,

John

I have purchased several similar sized sheds that are delivered fully
built. They move them around (once they're off the trailer!) on pieces
of pvc pipe - move by pushing - no mechanical power needed.

Thanks!

If the shed does show instability when you move it in the form of racking or
twisting, you can probably nail up a few diagonal braces across the studs
and/or rafters inside to make it stiffer for the move.
