Help with moving a shed

[jmilam08 193]

I'm in the process off knocking my kennels up in the back garden but I've got a shed that needs to go forwards a meter and across again the same.i don't want to take it apart because it's more of a solid sort of summerhouse than a shed and looks like it would be a bollock ache to take apart.

Does anyone know of any jack or winch I can hire to move it before I f**k it by attempting to lift it and put poles under it.

It's got some weight to it,it was crane lifted over the fence of a lorry when it was first bought.

Cheers

Jake.

Last time I did this mate, I screwed a batton across the side , with 2 people lifting slightly I was able to put logs underneath and rolled it , simples

I moved a old soild summer that no amount of fellas would moved, i borrowed a lorry trolly jack from the tyre place up the road.

Jacked it up and rolled it, You might have to dig the jack down at the sides to get it under

last time i did it took it down rebuilt it in a day --- christians way sounds a good option ..

A good scissor jack with a 6inch square of board on top of it should piss it mate..ive moved a few in the past using that method...atb stabba

i had to move an hefty shed once,i just screwed 2 long sturdy batons on both sides just below shoulder height,then me, ar kid and 2 mates got on each corner got our shoulders under the baton and lifted,piece o piss

1 stick of dynamite under each corner, light, as it leaves the floor quick shove job done will come down in the correct position just ensure there are no ruby red slippers sticking out from under it after its landed, this will lead to all sorts of complications

I had to move one a couple of year's back..i laid some scaffold board's on the floor for it to slide on...the method i used to drag the shed was a 1ton block and tackle that i keep in my car incase i ever get stuck..

lift front edge with scissor jack then place scaffold tubes under shed. hire or borrow turfer chain or cable type attach one end to an anchor point at a push you

can use a scaf tube /tubes driven into ground

make sure that your shed fixing point is secure if you intend to pass a rope around the shed you will need spreaders in place to prevent damage

best of luck

Just keep shooting it with the 12bore until it inches into place.

Just drive a 90 Landrover Deffender stright through it for the CRACK !! & Dont forget to take a few pics for us

If you's are all going to be silly.. why dont you phone the RSPCA and tell them there is a fox stuck under your shed..they will phone the local rescue service and get a chinook there asap..just be there to guide them when you want it back on terra firma..simples.

a fork lift jack has a very low reach,get a pallet truck under it with a board ontop?
